How do you dry off after using a bidet? Visited a house with an attachable one this past weekend

[Anonymous]

Washing with water after pooping is significantly more hygienic than wiping with dry toilet paper. It provides a targeted, gentle cleanse, effectively removing residual fecal matter trapped in the body's natural folds. Additionally, this method reduces skin friction, prevents irritation, and can help minimize the risk of urinary tract infections.

For maximum effectiveness, many people use water followed by a quick pat-dry with a small amount of toilet paper. You can easily adopt this practice by using a plumbed bidet, a handheld bidet sprayer, or a portable travel bidet.

Its gross that lots if people give oral to partners who doesn't wash after pooping. Unhygienic.

Why not just use a wet wipe, if it’s the former?

It's poop, bidet, wipe to dry. Or just sit there and scroll on your phone for a couple more minutes to air dry.

Wet wipes work too, but as someone who has given birth in the past and now is very sensitive in the pelvic region, the bidet is sooooooo much easier on delicate tissues than wiping is.

Wait - sit where, exactly?

Bidets do not have seats. Are you supposed to just sit right down on the bidet rim ??

This is a toilet bidet! The OP even mentions that it's a toilet with an attached bidet.

Those things need to be made illegal. They either get flushed and clog up sewer systems, or thrown in a trash can with poop on them. Yuck.

I am not a Muslim but I use a lota and dry with TP. Over the years I’ve considered one of the fancy Japanese toilets but the lota system works well enough for me.

I get it that TP only can be gross… but I also feel like bidet only is gross. You wouldn’t hop in the shower to wash yourself after taking a sh**, you have to wipe first. Unless you check yourself out with a mirror, how the heck do you know a little hose got everything? If I trusted it enough to get the whole area totally clean, then the water pressure is probably unhealthily strong for my bum.

Most people I know don’t have a bidet, but I’m pretty sure everyone showers before being intimate.

That is inaccurate about showering before being intimate. I would bet it’s reverse. People shower after is probably more common.

Correct, these people who think a 'gentle spray' (with no soap and no friction) is actually getting all the feces off are delusional. Use one or more wet wipes and throw them in the trash.

This. Take a wipe, or two, and clean yourself. Wrap it up in TP or a tissue and dispose of in the trash can. Done.

All this crap (pardon the pun) about bidets is nonsense. I believe the bidet industry is behind (again, pardon the pun) it all!!

And for the record, so many point to the Japanese as the gold standard for toileting. Funny how it's never mentioned that most Japanese bathrooms (especially public ones) do not have soap or hand towels. You need to carry your own soap and little towel around with you.

Wrong on multiple accounts.

UTIs are caused by the dripping bidet poop water trickling everywhere.

Yeah but the question is what do you do after spraying or pouring yourself with water?

In Japan the bidets also have a dryer setting that blows warm air.

Sorry, but you're not clean if you only used water. If bidets spray soapy water at the hole, then you'd be clean.
