bidet
A bidet is a device that sits quietly beside the toilet, wielding water pressure like a sword upon the posterior. It promises cleanliness and comfort to its user, yet sometimes reigns as a tyrant of water splashes in the bathroom. When touted as water-saving, its flow can dwindle to a mere whisper, questioning its very raison d’être. Neglect its upkeep, and you risk an unholy dialogue between skin and nozzle. Despite its civilizing benefits, it enforces the paradoxical ritual of self-drying after the wash.
