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

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.

Is this AI?

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.

OK, but on a traditional bidet, are you supposed to sit on the bare rim?

Because wet wipes flushed down your toilet congeal into those giant blobs that destroy your pipes.

I don’t wipe before using the bidet, and then I need less toilet paper because I’m clean.

Don’t ever dribble feces during the transition over? How do you avoid that? Seems like I know the answer, and it’s such a waste of toilet paper and water.

They are attached to the toilet.

It is clear that only one or two of you read the actual OP. The bidet is attached to the toilet. You guys are so freaking dumb.

Question about a TRADITIONAL BIDET (ie - a French / European bidet). I AM NOT REFERRING TO THE OPS WAND ATTACHMENT THINGY.

Are you supposed to sit down on the rim, or just hover?

Bidets are so gross and unsanitary.

Why are you pooping at someone else's house?

Go before or after at your own home.

The spray of the water gets feces droplets everywhere.

They also increase the risk of UTIs for women

Gross and barbaric.

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.

This post, including the puns, is gold. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I would also like clarity on this. Some hotels have a small hand (or bum I suppose) towel. That is SO gross to me.

A blow dryer, on lowest setting of course. This fries the e-coli.

The answer is that you just wipe like normal. You don't need to use someone else's bidet while you're staying with them. It's not a hotel.

They also can cause UTI's in females.

Didn't they have TP OP? It's very, very strange you left this out.

This! How strong is the spray coming out of a bidet? When I get something on my hands I don't just hold them under water to rinse them off. I rub them together to make sure I got it all. I don't know how you get completely clean with just a bidet.

Not to mention bidets spray feces particles into the air. Gross.

And are the bidet owners cleaning the sprayers with bleach between poops? I doubt it.

Yuck.

No. We get trained early on. I even washed my babies after every poop before putting fresh diaper on them. They had no diaper rashes or UTI infections.

What about when you were out and about and baby had a bowel movement? Did you use a public sink in place of a bidet? (Ew)
