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.
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. 😁😌
Yeah ,ever pressure wash anything muddy? It gets everywhere
That's a wide flat surface not a butt crack
How easy is it to get your asshole into the stream? Does it spray your butt and you need to reposition?
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.
I was always confused about the usefulness of bidets because I was taught to wipe with wetted tp at least once while wiping.
There's one thing I haven't read yet in the previous answers: after you s**t you still wipe your ass with toilet paper before using the bidet, and you do it pretty well too.
When you get to use the bidet, your butt is already pretty clean, but washing it with a bidet makes it entirely clean and feels really nice.
You use a towel right after using a bidet, which is why you see one hanging right by a bidet in most (if not all) bathrooms with a bidet. This prevents spraying water everywhere after you're clean.
Also, when you use it once, you learn how strong you want your water stream to be, not to wet the whole bathroom. You do the same the first time you wash your dishes (if your faucet shoots water too strongly, you wet the kitchen beyond the sink)
Also: those who use bidet go through a rigorous training to master its practice and transmit it's secrets orally to the next generation.
Bonus: Crocodile Dundee VS a bidet
Nah I do bidet, toilet paper to dry, and done
I live in a country where bidets are commonplace. I do not like them. I just use paper.
How dare you go against bidets! As an internet person that has never used one but yearns for the technological bliss of Japan I'm offended and you shall be downvoted by all other bidet-less but opinionated internet people!
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.
