A handheld bidet attachment is a device used for personal hygiene after using the toilet. It typically consists of a small nozzle or sprayer attached to a flexible hose. The attachment is usually installed near the toilet and connected to the water supply. When activated, the handheld bidet sprays a controlled stream of water, allowing the user to clean themselves more thoroughly than with toilet paper alone.

Handheld bidet attachments offer several advantages over traditional toilet paper, including increased cleanliness, reduced irritation, and environmental benefits due to decreased paper waste. They are commonly used in many parts of the world, particularly in Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Europe, and are becoming more popular in other regions as well.
