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 was always confused about the usefulness of bidets because I was taught to wipe with wetted tp at least once while wiping.

How do you wet the TP? 😭

I'm assuming they do the squattle waddle to the sink

Most residential bathrooms I've been in have had sinks close enough to reach over. If it's not close I'll pre wet TP and set it somewhere within reach. If there's nowhere convenient to place it or it's a public washroom I just don't do wet.
