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.

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@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

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.
