Ok so tell me, I didn’t do research but might aswell sacrifice some dignity to get some answer for a friend in here: 1. You spray water up the butt… how does one prevent everything, including underwear, from getting wet? 2. What takes the dirt away eventually? A clean towel? The force of the water? Where is it taken? With the spraying water? Into the laundry machine? I’m sure there is some excellent YouTube material that answers all my dumb wiper questions, if so please link it here for me and the other people stuck in the past. I feel like I don’t understand the 3 seashells…

1. Water is a focused stream and I still use a small amount of toilet paper afterwards. You shouldn’t be dripping wet. 2. The water takes away (into the toilet bowl) all the soil if done right, and the small toilet paper is mostly just for drying. But you’re still using the toilet paper. Maybe there is a body type / layout difference? It feels incredibly straightforward to me but reading the comments you are definitely not alone. My suggestion would be to just try it a couple of times.

Imagine a vertical cross-section of a person sitting on the toilet seat. The rear end is not only obstructing the flow of water out of the toilet, but it extends below the lip of the seat vertically so any extra water falls downwards into the toilet. The only time water escapes is if you absentmindedly stand up without turning off the bidet[0]. As it turns out, the water is quite effective at removing the dirt. At first I was worried it would disperse it and I'd be wiping a larger region, but in fact it's easy to quickly confirm with the white toilet paper that virtually zero waste is left remaining after only a few seconds of running the bidet. [0] This depends on the model, some Europeon models I have encountered are configured as a completely separate "bowl" and they spray aerated water with such low force that the water would never leave the bowl, whether a body is present or not.

I own the hand-held variant (IIRC the https://snapklik.com/en-ca/product/sontiy-brass-handheld-bidet-sprayer-for-toilet-cloth-diaper-toilet-sprayer-bidet-attachment-with-backflow-preventer-chrome-5/0ISR4PD76XP05 https://snapklik.com/en-ca/product/sontiy-brass-handheld-bid...). Think of it as a (very) specialized hand-held shower that's connected to (and easily within reach of someone sitting on) my toilet. Close friends of mine have a washlet integrated system that I've used before. I backed a Boaty kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/boaty/the-boaty-kit-a-new-way-to-wipe-your-bum https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/boaty/the-boaty-kit-a-n...) a few years ago; though those close friends of mine use regular (though _clearly_ marked) washcloths. I also happen to be a guy, so what I'm about to say applies only to my #2 process -- so no direct experience with ladies' #1 or any concern about cross-contamination by water running to the frontal anatomy (though my research back then mentioned that shouldn't be a bigger concern than without these items). 1. Within a few attempts you get very good at aiming (blind) and keeping only the inside of your bum cheeks wet. With the handheld want it's "all in the wrist", with the integrated system you get to do a silly little hip dance for 5 seconds and move on your with life. 2. It immediately joins and is flushed with the rest of your deposit. I do dry my cheeks with the boaty towels, and find it particularly pleasant and clean, at least comparatively to the previous decades of my life. So "with the spraying water?" yes, overwhelmingly, and "into the laundry machine?" trace amounts for sure, but emphasis on trace amounts. Hope this helps, I'm also a _fanatical convert_ of this new process.

  Oh, one note against the sontiy brass handheld whatever. It was a gigantic pain in the ass to attach to the toilet, mostly because said toilet is in a recessed alcove in my bathroom. Though it's been a delight to use ever since.

1. You spray water up the butt… how does one prevent everything, including underwear, from getting wet? You are seated... your underwear is around your ankles. You aren't standing straight up after. 2. What takes the dirt away eventually? A clean towel? The force of the water? Where is it taken? With the spraying water? Into the laundry machine? The force of the water removes it. It falls down into the toilet. It's literally just like an upward-facing hose - it sprays water. You maneuver your butt over the stream. It cleans in the same way a shower sprays water, or a hose sprays water, to wash away material. You then can either use a little toilet paper to dry yourself, or use the air dryer that comes on a fancier bidet.
