| | Go Ask Alice!: Hey, what's a bidet? |
 | | Bidet (rhymes with "relay," "filet," and "hooray") is a French word and the name of basin-like fixtures, or devices, that propel a gentle stream of water toward your genitals and anal and peri-anal area for the purpose of cleaning them. |
 | | Well, bidets are dedicated solely to helping people better bathe their vulvas, anuses, penises, and the regions around them. |
 | | Bidets help mentally challenged people, the elderly, pregnant women, post-surgical patients, people who are paralyzed, and others for whom standing, reaching, bending, and other movements are painful, difficult, or impossible. |
