Is a bidet for a man or woman? In a nutshell, YES, it can be used by a man or woman; so it is not specifically designed for any particular gender, ethnic group or culture. The question of who should use a bidet has been majorly asked by new bidet users and those who want to understand the genuine concept of ‘bidet’.

The understanding and assimilation of why a man should be using a bidet like a woman might sound confusing to many people. As women are believed to be the only gender that should care more for their private parts.

To make it easier to understand; It is merely because everyone ‘poops’ and the opening of the human end of the alimentary canal, ‘rear region’ is the same for all gender. After you are through with your “toilet business”; the better (close to the best) way to get a cleaner behind is by using a bidet.

Even if you are a man or woman, having pieces of several residual feces after wiping can create an awful smell and as well forms bacteria. You might not perceive it, but certainly, the person sitting next to you might. Using wet wipes or tissue paper might be useful but not as good as water.
