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?

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.

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.

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

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. 😁😌

That's a wide flat surface not a butt crack

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?

That makes sense, but it’s the mechanics we’re asking about here. Like, how do you aim it? How do you dry off?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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…

I hadn’t thought about that, but it seems I’ve been lucky so far
