The bidet is becoming a very hot topic of conversation so more and more people are throwing parties to show off their bidet. Following in the grand tradition of housewarmings, backyard barbecues and pool parties, the latest home furnishing to center a social gathering around just might be a bidet. While popular in many countries worldwide, a bidet remains somewhat of a novelty in the United States, making it a perfect excuse to invite people over and investigate. The growing popularity of bidet parties has even led to etiquette being questioned in advice columns. A bidet party can be an excuse for both education and lighthearted entertainment. Just imagine all of the great party games that could go along with a bidet party:

Demonstration

Considering that most Americans have never used a bidet, it may be necessary to gather the crowd in your bathroom for a simulation of how the device works. You can explain what the various knobs do, which way to sit and help alleviate some of the fear involved with staring down a new piece of equipment. For those who worry that this may be too intimate an experience to share socially, compare the growing popularity of sex toy parties as evidence that taboos can be overlooked among friends.

Individual Trials

Once everyone feels comfortable with the logistics of using a bidet, invite your guests to give it a try. Allow the crowd to eat, drink and mingle (although this is one area where you should probably avoid themed refreshments) while they take turns behind closed doors trying it for themselves.

Descriptions

You can even create games surrounding a bidet, without diving too far into toilet humor. Ask your guests to write down a few words describing the experience of using a bidet anonymously on a piece of paper. Then throw all of these words into a hat and use them to guide a game of charades or assign each feeling to one person to act out at the party. Adding a little humor can lighten the mood around a normally unspeakable subject.

A bidet party can be a great excuse to share your investment with friends and neighbors in a friendly, casual environment. Have you ever been invited to a bidet party? If you were to throw your own, what would it include?  Above all, remember to emphasize to your guests the hygienic and environmental benefits derived from daily use of the bidet.
