How do you not drip back onto it? Do you use paper too? How is it okay for me to use the same one right after Typhoid Larry? Doesn't poo go everywhere?

It just seems so weird.

would this be like, only in your own home? or would you be carrying the bidet towel around with you when in public?

Is this the towel suggested in the hitchhikers guide?

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 6 points 10 months ago

No of course only in your home. If you're visiting someone else for some days they'll give you a bidet towel. If you're just outside well... you'll just use your toilet paper. Some people will use the bidet anyway and dry with toilet paper, but that's a bit annoying.

We don't poo in public toilets.
