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.

Wipe first, rinse with the bidet, then wipe again so your ass isn't soaking wet. It's really not that complex. I have no idea how it would get infected with anything, it squirts water at a distance from your...stuff.

Is the irresistible and sublime pleasure of touching your own feces and removing them with your finger from your anus

Doesn’t poo go everywhere?

Not sure what you mean, but might be a misunderstanding. It's not sucking water out of the bowl. It's spraying a jet of fresh water. Some will even warm it up for you. 😁😌

That's a wide flat surface not a butt crack

Most of the ones I’ve seen are attachments on toilets. So you do drip, but it’s into the toilet. I haven’t had any issues with stray poo even with no pre wiping. It all drops into the toilet also. It’s a jet of water from far away, so you’re not really in contact with it to infect it.

How easy is it to get your asshole into the stream? Does it spray your butt and you need to reposition?

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

It's a focused stream. You can usually position them forward / back on the bidet, then you just wiggle until your butt is clean.

Seriously the best thing ever. Get one.

When you touch something dirty, do you feel cleaner when you wipe your hands off with paper or when you wash them under a sink?

If someone was preparing food for you, would you be satisfied if you saw them go to the toilet and then just wipe their hands with a piece of paper instead of washing their hands?

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Tbf if I saw them just rinse with no soap I'd have similar questions.

I use washcloth to dry off afterwards. I bought a cheap pack of like 50 on Amazon and keep them in a basket and wash them after each use, they definitely last the week or so between laundry loads. It may not be necessary since I think some people use the same towel several times but it’s not a big deal for me.
