Eli5 how are bidets hygienic? You have the ones that attached to your regular toilet seat. I know from experience, because I once took a bladder pain medication that turned my pee neon orange, that when I pee it splashes literally everywhere. And if you’ve ever been in a public bathroom, you know that sometimes people have explosive poop. Now wouldn’t that get on the novel of the bidet?
You also have the ones that are completely separate unit from the toilet. So what do I do there waddle myself over to the bidet with pee dripping from my vag and poop between my butt cheeks? Also I’ve heard, I may be wrong that you are supposed to straddle up a bidet and face the back, so if that’s true do I have to take off my pants? Seems like quite a process to just use the bathroom.
And this is my most wondered about question. Sometimes I get these really sticky poops, and I can tell you for a fact that a jet of water unless incredibly high volume and high speed to the point where it will probably hurt, is not getting that poop off my butt.
So yeah all these questions about how a bidet could actually be hygienic. Obviously I know they are because they are used around the world except for the United States, hence why I’ve never used one

The one we have has a “wash” selector that cleans the outside of the nozzle in the event of “splashes.”
The pressure is plenty high enough to clean any and all types of poop, plus it has an angle adjuster by the clean selector. During those “extra messy” poops I like to put it on full blast and sweep the angle adjuster back and forth slowly to hydro scrape my bum.
We like the bidet attachement so much we put one on every toilet in our house. Give it a shot, the price of entry is low and you’ll most likely see the benefits of it after your 1st go.

Imagine these nylon car mats. Smear peanut butter on them.
Do you clean with toilet paper alone or would you use tempered water?
Yeah wth people say youre gonna save toilet paper but id imagine just splashing the water on yourself isnt cleaning the shit and youd still need the toilet paper
My bidet has a self cleaning nozzle, so after you do your messy business, it cleans itself off.
The bidet I have is a separate hose but it’s right next to the toilet so I use it on the toilet.
It’s great because it’s away from and unintentional messes and then you can even use it to hose down the toilet when cleaning.
I can’t say much for the ones that attach to the seat itself but I’d imagine it’s only as clean as you keep it, so I would trust ones outside my home.
