I'd find a bidet confusing and awkward.

Seriously, can anyone tell me what is the correct way to use a bidet? Do you sit facing the wall, so you can control the temperature and volume of water? Or do your try to adjust all that first, and then sit facing out as with a toilet?



The traditional bidet has a variety of severe UX problems as evidenced by the universal confusion over a number of issues on first use.

The old style european type is designed such that you should be facing the controls. Which is only reasonable when you think about but requires a non-intuitive posture.

There are now electronic ones which integrate with a toilet and provide a control pad.

Don't indulge yourself with a bidet as they can be habit forming.

What's confusing, same way you use a toilet.
