To be fair, pretty much everyone outside of France have no idea of what even a regular bidet is.

I honestly don't see the appeal of that article at all. Are we supposed to give a fuck about a TV host who thought that she did something disgusting..?

Here in Argentina we know what it is... I have one in the bathroom next to the toilet :P

I wouldn't be able to live without one, lol.

Here in Italy it's ubiquitous too. And we are appalled seeing that the French, that invented it, now often have it in a bathroom separated from the small toilet bowl room. In my family's two-room holidays flat in the French mountains when we bought it we found such separated toilet bowl in a cubicle, with the bidet in a separated bathroom and we replaced the plain toilet bowl with a toilet-bidet, somehow similar to the japanese ones.

Note: Northern Italians often are racist towards the Southern and sometimes accuse them also to be dirty, but when Piedmont annexed Southern Italy in 1860, the bidet was already quite used there, at least by the middle-upper and upper classes, while it was almost unknown in Piedmont, where even the highest nobles often had horrible hygiene standards, even 40 years later having a bath once a week was still considered too much there, unless it was a thermal bath for health and wellness reasons (the king Victor Emmanuel II himself always wrote his official mistress to stop washing herself two weeks before they had a date  :-S  ).
