I believe those are referred to as "Klingons."
I've never had the opportunity to use a bidet, but on top of the lack of a thorough cleaning, aren't you dripping wet after?
Even in a half squat after the fact, I would expect this unsanitary water to run down one's legs.
- CanSpice 14y agoThe article states "Even still, many users of bidets use some amount of toilet paper, especially for drying purposes."
- DigitalJack 14y agoSure, but now you are chasing rivulets of fecal water running down your legs. That is some shit I'd rather not deal with.
- aplusbi 14y agoPerhaps you are one of the stand-to-wipe types, but if you remain seated throughout the drying operation you will not have to deal with any rivulets. Also some toilets have an air-dryer.
- mibbitier 14y agoAir dryers are incredibly bad. Hand dryers are practically a waste of time since they barely do anything IMHO.
- aplusbi 14y agoHaving used a toilet with an air dryer I will say it worked, although toilet paper is far quicker. It is kind of nice to have hot air blown up your ass though.
- mrb 14y agoHand dryers are very efficient! They don't seem to do anything for the first ~20 seconds, but in the last 5 seconds you feel all the water evaporating. That's because only the water surface evaporates, until your skin is exposed dry. You are probably like most people who I see use them in public bathroom, using them only for <10 seconds.

- mibbitier 14y agoYou're probably right. But I can wipe with a towel in 2 seconds. 20 seconds is far too long to be any use.
- ElliotH 14y agoTried the Dyson ones? They're amazing.
- rplnt 14y agoWhen using hand dryer, spread the moist all over your hands as if you were washing them. It isn't instant, but they sure work well.
