OK I've seen the bidet crowd grow for years. Never used one but how does it actually remove all the filth? If I got shit on my arm or something I wouldn't be satisfied squirting some water on it - I'd scrub scrub scrub. I just can't see how it does as good a job. Any input? Also - how do you prevent the bidet from becoming a fecal squirtgun? It sits inside the toilet no? Aren't you in effect washing off with everyone's shit mixed in?

If you had shit on your arm you'd just scrub it without water? Filipino uses a system called tabo, or sometimes a hand hose bidet (I call it the bum gun). If the pressure of bum gun is strong enough, well, it's like a pressure gun. You shoot it at 45 degrees angle (cause 90 hurts lol). If the pressure is not strong enough, then use it like tabo. Tabo is a water scoop. You water your hand, you water your butt, then you soap both of them, and wash it out. It's a shower but just for your butt. This sounds a little bit weird and disgusting but it is the cleanest since it's like a shower. Nothing beats a soap and scrub. If there's tissues, take a tissue, pat down your butt so it's dry, put it in the bin. Hope that explains it!

  I also wouldn't just rinse it with water. And what of the fecal aggregate?

Yes, you are scrubbing with your (usually left) hand. It may sound disgusting but actually feels really, really clean. > how do you prevent the bidet from becoming a fecal squirtgun? I have the same concern about the bidets installed inside toilets. Using "bum guns" which hang next to the toilet solves that problem though!

1. One can adjust the strength and width of the stream. It often starts out gentle anyway, to wash off the loose crud. 2. The area that needs cleaning is within a valley formed by your butt cheeks. So there's really no splatter. 3. Bidets are for the home. It's not an impossible problem to solve, but I wouldn't use a public one. I do know that the squirt gun is washed before and after use automatically, but really. When you poop, how do you avoid the inevitable water splash as the poop dives in? In any case there are manual portables that one can carry in a pocket or purse, however. I don't bother but the option exists.
