Explain bidets for me please.
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.

ada, 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
RoquetteQueen, I reeeeeally recommend drying off after. Anyone who is prone to UTIs like I am, please dry off each time…
ada, I hadn’t thought about that, but it seems I’ve been lucky so far
bionicjoey, I have no idea about public bidets, but I have a cheap one in my home and there is a “wash nozzle” option which causes it to spray itself down with similar water pressure to what it uses on my asshole.
perditioner, Does poo go everywhere when you shower? It’s like a small wash for your ass, but the stream is very concentrated so doesn’t splash. The water isn’t pulled from the bowl, but from the water tank. It gets your ass actually clean, which paper alone never does, you still use like one sheet of paper afterwards. I used one in Japan, and now I’m intending to replace my toilet, it’s like the difference between hand washing clothes and using a washer dryer in terms of revolution to me.
cheese_greater, Its like the difference between wash or dry cleaning literal shit aha
xi_simping, How do you not drip back onto it?
I have only used (and own) asian or japanese style ones and its a little jet that squirts at your puckered pink starfish, water drips back into the bowl
Do you use paper too?
Yes, I have a hairy butthole and have to pat dry
How is it okay for me to use the same one right after Typhoid Larry?
Like any other toilet seat? I don’t know.
Doesn’t poo go everywhere?
No, not for me, anyways.
Noteleks, You can get a simple one that goes on your toilet. Turn dial, water hits, you pat dry and feel a million times cleaner. Most people that try them once get it. Just ask yourself if you would use water if you knew poop was smeared on any other part of your body
iheartneopets, Idk… I’ve tried them twice; once while traveling abroad and once in a friend’s bathroom, but I don’t care for the sensation much. It’s always shocking to me to get sprayed right in the bhole with quickly-moving water. I keep trying them as I come across them, but they haven’t sold me yet.
sbv, How easy is it to get your asshole into the stream? Does it spray your butt and you need to reposition?
nulluser, Yes, I need to move around a bit to hit the mark, and generally ensure full coverage. Not sure how much I’m over doing it, but it works for me. Totally feel like I’m slumming any time I’m forced to use a toilet without one, now.
Shadow, 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.
SeanTurvey, If the key is centered correctly (a 2 minute job) then you instinctively position yourself when you sit down.
Osa-Eris-Xero512, *most instinctively position. This will vary by body size.
happybadger, 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?
Semi-Hemi-Demigod, That makes sense, but it’s the mechanics we’re asking about here. Like, how do you aim it? How do you dry off?
Montagge, It's fixed so you may have to move a little bit it's not a big deal. I drip dry for a minute or two and then dry off with toilet paper.
Semi-Hemi-Demigod, How do you keep from pooping on it when you have one of those days?
Montagge, You generally don't. The nozzles retract so they're way up by the seat. I think in 5 years of having a bidet I've had to clean poop of the fixture (not the nozzle) once, and that's with someone with IBS in the house.
nulluser, 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. 😁😌
altima_neo, (edited ) Yeah ,ever pressure wash anything muddy? It gets everywhere
Montagge, That's a wide flat surface not a butt crack
acutfjg, I’ve had this bidet over 8 years and it’s still working great. You won’t want to go back to anything less. a.co/d/bMXpotx
marshadow, I’d like to piggyback on this question and ask: if the bidet is in the toilet bowl, doesn’t it get dirty while you’re shitting?
BolexForSoup, It’s not directly under you
anonymouse, On mine, the piece that shoots water extends when in use and retracts out of the way when not.
SeanTurvey, It is above the waterline near the back. It also has a guard that it retracts behind when it is not in use. After each use you turn a knob to the clean setting and it does an auto clean on the spray head. It is cleaner than the rest of the toilet.
We’ve had a bidet for 6 years and would never go back. They are about $50 CAD, take about 15 minutes to DIY install and have very few parts to break.
Well worth the money.
skatrek47, 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.
xep, I don't use public bidets, but the one I have at home I would say is critical to my quality of life.
cmbabul, I dread holiday traveling to relatives because none of them have bidets. I will not go back
Zannsolo, Just bring “flushable” wipes not your plumbing 🤣
cmbabul, Straight up, if I were staying at any other relative than my brother I would
dutchkimble, There are travel bidet solutions available
cmbabul, I know and I’ve tried a few, they just ain’t the same
Donebrach, My cousin and uncle convinced my mom to get one. It’s the only good toilet to use when I go home.
cmbabul, I have tried my damnedest to get my brother on board, my dad wouldn’t even entertain the concept
AngryCommieKender, These seem to fill that gap
cmbabul, Told another poster, I’m glad those exist but they are not a substitute, at least for me. Tried them and was left disappointed
AngryCommieKender, Ahh, fair enough. I just looked them up because my parents haven’t gotten one. Maybe that’s what I should give them for Ayyamiha…
Semi-Hemi-Demigod, Follow up question for those with ass hair: how long does it stay damp?
Sir_Kevin, Ass hair removal is a thing. Just sayin.
Montagge, It doesn't because I dry off with toilet paper
s3rvant, For reference I have this one: https://a.co/d/94y5ID3
You use it while still seated so the water drips back into the toilet bowl; no mess there
I do use paper too to dry or further cleaning if needed
If you look at the 3rd picture on the link above you'll see that the sprayer lowers down while spraying and then retracts back behind a guard; I've never seen the guard or sprayer themselves get dirty from general toilet use
No, the water pressure isn't so intense that it would scatter debris everywhere
I first used one at a friend's house and found it does a far better job cleaning compared to just paper alone and would certainly recommend giving it a try
wolfpack86, But how do you dry your butthole
ConstipatedWatson, 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
lolcatnip, You’re doing it wrong.
tiredofsametab, I think they're talking about a bum-gun common in some SE Asian countries, maybe?
ConstipatedWatson, You’re talking to me or the guy above?
Care to elaborate either way?
Alto, Can't say I've gone around asking people, but from what i gather people don't usually wipe before hand because you (usually) don't need to. Just spray and dry
Montagge, Nah I do bidet, toilet paper to dry, and done
