America is known for its freedom, so it can be said that you can find almost anything here. However, if you ever visit the U.S., remember to try their restroom experience to realize that they are missing something incredibly important.
In English, this sprayer is called a bidet (specifically a bidet sprayer), and it was created solely for the purpose of “washing the necessary areas” after using the toilet.
Currently, the global trend is leaning toward using a sprayer instead of toilet paper, primarily for environmental reasons. Moreover, in terms of hygiene, using a sprayer is much cleaner.
So why don’t Americans use it? In fact, there isn’t a clear answer to this. However, experts have come up with a few plausible theories, which you’ll find out about shortly.
Theory 1: The British Contempt
The term “bidet” originates from France, and initially, it was not a sprayer like the ones we see today. The first bidet was simply a water basin placed next to the toilet, so after using the toilet, one could sit and wash.

In the 18th century, the British looked down upon the French aristocratic lifestyle and, as a result, also disliked their habit of washing with water. Since America was heavily influenced by British culture due to being a former colony, it’s possible that this “prejudice” originated from there.
