How do you not drip back onto it? Do you use paper too? How is it okay for me to use the same one right after Typhoid Larry? Doesn't poo go everywhere?

It just seems so weird.

I mean, you share a toilet bowl with Typhoid Larry already. The bidet isn't going to be worse than that!

And honestly, they're the best thing ever! Sometimes it drips, but that's just like getting out of the shower, except with much less water. You can wipe off the drops with toilet paper, or you can just not bother. I'll do that if I'm going straight to bed for example, or if I'm putting on running gear etc that I'm going to sweat into anyway

I reeeeeally recommend drying off after. Anyone who is prone to UTIs like I am, please dry off each time...

I hadn't thought about that, but it seems I've been lucky so far
