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.

I don't use public bidets, but the one I have at home I would say is critical to my quality of life.

I dread holiday traveling to relatives because none of them have bidets. I will not go back

My cousin and uncle convinced my mom to get one. It’s the only good toilet to use when I go home.

I have tried my damnedest to get my brother on board, my dad wouldn’t even entertain the concept

There are travel bidet solutions available

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I know and I’ve tried a few, they just ain’t the same

These seem to fill that gap

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@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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....

Just bring "flushable" wipes not your plumbing 🤣

Straight up, if I were staying at any other relative than my brother I would
