Leaving the bidet on "feminine" mode is the female equivalent of leaving the toilet seat up. (m.media-amazon.com)

My wife does this all the time, and if I don't check before I spritz I get an unexpected ball splash.

NSFW for potential topic sensitivity I guess.

Is the “feminine” mode hygienic? I’d worry about it pushing bacteria and crap up there.

According to my urogynecologist, who specifically instructed me to always point my shower wand downward when washing my nethers, spraying water can indeed push bacteria up there!

It may only be dangerous for the subset of women who have problems requiring a urogynecology specialist in the first place, IDK, but better safe than sorry.
