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.
