Unlike toilet paper, which can leave you feeling sticky and unclean, bidets provide a refreshing clean that leaves you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. However, bidets are more popular in Europe and Asia than they are in the United States. So, why aren&#8217;t Americans more interested in bidets?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few reasons why bidets haven&#8217;t caught on in the United States the way they have in other countries. First of all, many people simply don&#8217;t know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pvcworkshop.com\/bidet\/\">what a bidet is<\/a>. When you ask Americans about bidets, many of them will give you a blank stare. Even those who have heard of bidets often don&#8217;t know how they work or what they&#8217;re used for. Here is a collection of stats on bidets in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>How Many People Know About Bidets?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a survey of 1,000 U.S. adults, only 12% of them said they had a good understanding of what bidets were and how they worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pvcworkshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/83-of-people-do-not-have-a-good-understanding-of-what-bidets-are..png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6360\"

\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, it doesn&#8217;t mean that there is no interest in learning more about bidets. 45% had done some research recently on bidets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Bidet Ownership and Usage Statistics<\/strong> in the U.S.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>82% of the people surveyed never owned a bidet<\/li><li>71% had never used a bidet before<\/li><li>37% don\u2019t know what a bidet looks like<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>Ages 18-44<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Ages 45+<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Have ever used a bidet<\/strong><\/td><td>36%<\/td><td>22%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Have ever owned a bidet<\/strong><\/td><td>27%<\/td><td>8%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So younger people seem to be catching on to the rising trend of bidets and have had more of an interest in using or owning one compared to people older than 45 years of age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting note is that more men than women seemed to be interested in purchasing a bidet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div
