I’m new to the bidet scene, and this one has me slightly confounded. Should I install a new towel rack next to the toilet? Should my wife and I share the towel? Do you wipe first? There are so many unanswered questions in the ways of bidet-ing!

Wipe - spray - wipe. Toilet paper is fine.

Am I doing it wrong? I just do spray - wipe.

I guess it depends on the consistency of your stool. Wouldn't want to blast brown soup all over, y'know.

You can get one that dries with hot air.

One piece of toilet paper. Just enough to get it mostly dry.

a sheet of TP or drip dry.

Basket of old t-shirts cut into washcloth sized squares. The used ones go in a basket beside the toilet to be washed with the rest of the laundry.

If we're out of rags I just use TP. But you only need a few squares to dry off so it ends up using a lot less paper than if you didn't use a bidet.

I dab with a square or two of toilet paper. A roll lasts a long time. Probably unnecessary because ours is precise but it’s really humid here.

I use 3 squares of TP, folded twice (into 4 layers). I never transitioned to a towel because the spray doesn't always get everything and the 3 squares are enough to dry it.

Trim your pubes back there and on your balls. It can make a big difference in how much water you can hold back there. I was using an extra two squares before my last trim.

This is the information we need but wouldn't dare to ask.

I bought a couple sets of washcloths that are only for drying butt. I fold them and lay them on the tank lid, and then put used ones in a little basket/bin beside the toilet. When I run out, I wash them in the laundry room. I haven't bought toilet paper in 5 years.

I just send the butler to roam the streets looking for some orphans who would like to blow-dry me.
