The present, the past and the future of the bidet
Do you bidet and use it? You are an old man Young people no longer see it useful. If they have it, they use it to store magazines or dirty socks, wash underwear or submerge your feet in a hot bath (uncomfortable unless you have tiny feet). It is logical that manufacturers are concerned. Apparently, the only place where bidets are still bought is Argentina. In the rest of the world, sales have fallen more than 60%.

I met the first bidet of my life more than forty years ago. It seemed to me a trick of the most sophisticated: you operated a lever and a ray came in the middle of the cup. They call it 'inverted shower'. This vertical beam was conceived as a means of effective contraception in the 18th century and even well into the nineteenth century. Women of childbearing age demanded that they always have a bidet with a sunblock on hand. Although for others, of course, all that was just an attack on morale. In a hotel in Paris hundreds of bidets were destroyed because of this controversy. The management of the establishment did not want to risk going against the good customs.
Baths of seat
The truth is that the bidet was born as a useless tool for half of humanity. Half the male, of course, that there has always been a bad placement, unless you have morons and need what was previously called "seat baths." The logic, in short, would be to disappear at once. But it is not so easy.
and announced a rebirth. There are famous designers thinking about it. The tendency is to unify the toilet and bidet, as the Japanese did long ago. There are now toilets with soft seats and heaters, hot and cold water rays and a hairdryer (all adjustable so that it is direct where you need to go), music, strident noise in case you need to cover your own noises and all this digitally controllable from one seat control.
In short, the usual one. We get so crazy about the news as clinging to the whole of life. The bidet was, it is and it will be a sample of how useless can be both.
