Bio Bidet Virginity Study: One in Three Americans Have Tried It

Company to Offer Bidet Attachments to Consumers That Share Their ‘First’ Bidet Experience 

CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill. – OCTOBER  9, 2020 – Bio Bidet, the leader in smart bidet seats and bidet attachments, today announced the results of its “Bio Bidet Virginity Study.” Bio Bidet discovered that: 33% of Americans said they tried a bidet, 48% said they had not tried a bidet, and 19% asked “what’s a bidet?”

On a mission to make sure the majority of Americans know firsthand about the benefits of a bidet. For 30 days this fall (starting October 9 through November 8) Bio Bidet will send bidet attachments to eligible participants that post on social media about their ‘first’ bidet experience and tag @biobidet. 

"We think every American should own a bidet, yet most haven’t tried them because they haven’t had the opportunity,” said James Amburgey, marketing director at Bio Bidet. “To encourage more bidet use we are announcing a special sale because we believe if you try a bidet, you’ll keep using it. We want to hear about your first time. Send your rated “PG-13” tweets, Instagram posts and Facebook posts to Bio Bidet and we’ll award prizes to the posts that are most creative, fun and tell the story of how you tried a bidet and liked it.”

The Virginity Study revealed bidet use was divided by gender. Looking at the demographics Bio Bidet discovered the people most likely to use bidets were:

  • Men
  • 35-44 years-old
  • LGBTQIA
  • City dwellers
  • Married
  • Master’s degree
  • Make $100,000 or more

Those least likely to have used a bidet were:

  • Women
  • 55 years-old and up
  • Heterosexual
  • Small-towners
  • Single
  • Completed some college or associate’s degree
  • Earn between $75,000 to $99,999

When asked what their first time with a bidet was like, the top answer was “I liked it.” Here’s how the top answers ranked:

  • 45% - I liked it
  • 29% - Weird
  • 14% - I felt clean
  • 7% - It tickled
  • 4% - I felt sexy
  • 0.3% - I felt infantilized

After their first time with a bidet, 85% said they would keep using it. The number one reason was that they felt cleaner, followed by feeling more modern, sexy and urbane. For those who had never used a bidet, the number one reason was people never had the opportunity to try one. One in ten Americans admitted it was just too weird for them. Nearly one in four (22%) Americans own a bidet, with the most popular type being a bidet attachment (53%) followed by a traditional porcelain fixture (41%), an integrated electric bidet toilet (39%), and an electric bidet seat (29%). Among existing bidet owners, an overwhelming majority (85%) say they have a bidet with a dryer.

“We are excited to bring to the American household our advanced bidet technology, which we believe will revolutionize the bathroom experience,” said Amburgey.
