I have a habit of getting annoyed at minor inconveniences and then trying to build a solution for them.
As someone who travels regularly between the US and the Middle East, I noticed one thing the West evidently still hasn't figured out: Bidets.
In the Middle East, bidets are something you just don't have to think about. A convenience we don't realize we're spoiled with until we return to the West.
This has been ruffling my feathers for years now.. so I built BidetBeacon. A free map where you can find masajed, restaurants, hotels, and public spots that actually have bidets / washlets in the US, Canada, and the UK.
So far, there are hundreds of pins on the map, but the usefulness of this map is directly proportional to the suggestions filled on the site's form.
If you know a spot, add it. Takes a minute. Name, address, done.
Sadaqah jariyah of hygiene.
BidetBeacon is community-built. Know a masjid or restaurant with a bidet? Use Add spot in the top right of the page anytime.
Only confirmed bidets (TOTO, heated seat, handheld, etc.). Submissions are reviewed before appearing on the map.
