Both shattafs and bidets (which is the whole separate ceramic apparatus, not just the spray) are common here in Brazil. I always though it was because of bigger French/Islamic influence.

Are bidets really that common in Brazil? I had one in my old home but I don't recall spotting them in new houses or apartments.

That may be right. Maybe the Portuguese brought them over after being influenced by France.
