"Remember the first time you saw a bidet and thought, Why are there two toilets in here? If you grew up in Grenoble, this would have been when you were four. For the rest of us, there are three cardinal rules:\\n\\n\\n\\n                   \\n\\n1\\\\. Turn the bidet on slowly so you don't wind up hosing down the whole bathroom.\\n\\n\\n\\n2\\\\. Make sure the water is tepid before you climb aboard.\\n\\n\\n\\n3\\\\. Face the wall to clean your front and away from the wall to get the back.\\n\\n\\n\\n4\\\\. Done! \\\"Using a bidet is an easy way to clean properly with plain warm water,\\\" says Lauren Streicher, a clinical associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago and the author of *Love Sex Again* (It Books). \\\"It takes only a few seconds, and it's especially useful after intercourse or when you have your period. The only downside to bidets is that there aren't more of them in America.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  __RELATED LINKS:__\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [Here's How to Get a Smooth Bikini Line](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2014/06/heres-how-to-get-a-smooth-biki.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [Are Your Sunglasses Giving You Wrinkles?](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2014/06/are-your-sunglasses-giving-your-wrinkles.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [The Best Vibrators](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/health/2014/the-best-babeland-vibrator-sex-toys\\\\#slide=1)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
