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.

    The days are either part of the toilet, or attached to the toilet using the screws in the back that hold your toilet lid down. You don’t waddle around at all. It’s the same toilet you do your business squirt your butt and if you stay there for a few minutes to drop dry, you don’t have to use any paper products whatsoever

      In Europe and South America, it’s normally stand alone, not installed in the bowl

        I can’t recommend integrated bidets strongly enough.

          I’m the opposite. Having used both I far prefer the stand alone versions.

            I am thunderstruck, honestly. Do you mind sharing what you prefer about it?

              More water pressure and less generally gross

                Now I am even more confused.

                I have had the opposite experience. I’ve spent a lot of time in Europe and without fail the bidets I find myself using have a very weak stream, and they just look like a sink, and require extra cleanup to get all of the…particulate…down the drain.

                On the 30 dollar unit I attached to my toilet, I get an extremely strong and focused stream, it is self-cleaning, and everything is handled by the same flush.

                This is literally like the flying cars of cleaning your butt, and it’s not even new technology. There is literally zero downside.

                  My experience with stand alone units is in South America, and lets just say, if you turn the tap too far, you will find yourself getting a good “internal cleanse”. There are places of course with low pressure, but any of them that I’ve used on the regular have been almost too strong. Slouching on one, half asleep at 3am and getting a shot directly to the clit is not as fun as it sounds…

                  The stand alone ones I’ve tried though have all lacked pressure. They have had lights, heaters, UV, self cleaning and all sorts of fancy things, but the feel like getting sprayed by a water bottle you’d use to keep a cat off the counter
