    Because your ass does literally nothing else all day, but your hands touch things like food etc. I’d say it was more like getting shit on your leg. Do you wipe it off or just wait until you next have a shower?

    That said I love the idea of bidets, I’m just terrified it’ll get my underwear and clothes wet while being cold and unpleasant.

      The beam is way more focused than you might imagine. It can’t reach your clothes, there’s a fat-ass human in the way ;)

      It’s a focused stream of water so you just have to aim a little. And the cold water is actually surprisingly refreshing even in the winter for me.

      " I’m just terrified it’ll get my underwear and clothes wet while being cold and unpleasant." I’ve never had this issue.

      it’s more like having shit smeared on your face. you wouldn’t use a tissue to wipe it off and smear it around, you’d use soap and water.
