I don’t understand. Do you just sit there and air dry? Do you still need toilet paper? No one I know IRL can explain this to me, other than saying they love their bidet.
Edit to add clarity and ask another question: I’m in America so we don’t have that toilet looking bidet here. It’s an attachment that we add to our toilet. So I guess…where does the water come from?

We purchased a “Tushy” brand bidet attachment at the beginning of Covid. You need to hook up a hose to your water supply line at the sink, so that’s where the pressure comes from. We splurged and got the system that connects to both the hot and cold water source (we live in Wisconsin, so it’s almost a need up here). All hardware comes with the bidet attachment and it was very straight forward to install.
I too would like to know why a bidet is “sooo much more” amazing than wet wipes. Besides the fact of “wasting paper”.
You can check to make sure everything is clean with just a square of toilet paper and if it is, you could take a wash cloth (keep on a basket on the back of toilet) and dry off. Then throw the soiled wash cloth into a small hamper next to the toilet.
If you have a hairy butt, you still use a lot of toilet paper. Still less though, and less abrasion to ya booty.
You spray off your butthole, wait a few seconds to let the bull of the water drip off, and then do a quick wipe with a small bit of TP to dry your butthole and verify that the water didn’t miss anything. And you’ll want to verify because bidets are not perfect and sometimes miss something.
I don’t know how others use it.
What I do: wipe with paper, normally, most of it. Then sit on the bidet, check the water temp, and start using the spring/jet thing. I wash with my hand and soap, rinse and then use a dedicated towel that I have for myself (I live alone, I wouldn’t share that towel).
I sit on the bidet in the same way I sit on the toilet: not facing the wall. My bathroom has no space to sit as some “Lifehacks” say that you “should” sit on it (facing the wall, with your chest towards the faucets). Anyway, depending on the position of the spring/jet thing, I don’t think it would work, sitting facing the wall. Some jets are quite far back near the wall on some designs.
I don’t think drying with paper would work as you end up very wet after using the bidet and tp doesn’t work very well with water, by design (you want it to dissolve when you flush, as much as possible).
