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.

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.

Very simple, it works just like a sink, only you can sit on it. Some have a hose to make washing easier. Older models shoot water straight upwards like a fountain, but they all have a drain like a sink.

And you wipe first, so whatever falls into the bowl is small enough to be dissolved and passes through the drain.

It's ok to use after Typhoid Larry the same it is ok to use the sink after him. It's not a pressure washer so shouldn't be making a huge mess unless you are particularly clumsy. And btw, they're usually in private bathrooms so unless Larry is your housemate then it's likely just you using it.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year 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.

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.

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

I was always confused about the usefulness of bidets because I was taught to wipe with wetted tp at least once while wiping.
