Find out where the water will come out, so you won’t accidentally get soaked.
Straddle the bidet, depending on its design. Bidets come in different forms, so the way where you’re facing depends on the area of body you want to wash and the water jets’ configuration. Most standalone bidets allow you to either turn away from the water controls, or face it. if you opt to face the controls, you will need to remove your pants, so you can stand more comfortably and securely.
Adjust the bidet’s jet strengths and temperature until it suits you. If your bidet gives both hot and cold water, turn on the hot water first, and once it’s hot, turn on the cold water, until you reach a comfortable temperature.
Turn the water on carefully. Some bidets produce a high jet of water, even with a slight turn of the controls. In some bidet designs, you’ll need to hold the control, so the jets will continue running.
Position yourself above the water jets, so the water that comes out hit the desired area. In some configurations, you can completely sit down on the bidet or you can just hover above it.
