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!

I'm sleepy and read that as "Biden voters, how do you dry your ass afterward?" and was very confused. But like.. not as confused as I probably should have been.

Kitchen tissue is strong when wet. Tear that square sheet in half lengthwise (because of oriented fibers), fold each half once, and you'll have reasonably sized pieces.

Don't flush kitchen tissue though, it doesn't disintegrate as toiletpaper does.

As a vulva owner, for me, the big win with the bidet isn't the butt.

Either way though, the goal is to get clean with water, instead of a dry piece of paper, and then use either toilet paper or a dedicated towel to dry down the now clean area.

Just like with a shower. You don't clean yourself with the towel. You get clean with water, and then dry with a towel

one sheet of toilet paper

Ryobi cordless leaf blower. You have to aim for the rim because if you hit home it makes you burp.

Actually though, just dab with TP. You'll use much less TP and not need "flushable" wipes that still clog your main sewage line

My bidet is a Japanese washlet and I wipe with toilet paper to dry.

In Italy, where the bidet is its own "seat", we use small towels, one for each person. The ones that usually people vacationing in Italy think are for the face, they are actually for your ass. Hard to tell the difference on American tourists sometimes.

Especially because Europe doesn't do washclothes, so as an American I had to learn VERY quickly what they were for

My ass is bone dry, mine has one of those fans and it can get very hot. Some sort of Toto variant I got years ago.

Unless you go absolutely stupid with the water, the bidet should dry your crack and the surrounding region. :)

You should name your ass Africa and count blow-drying as a blessing, mod the bidet to play the song every time it's used.

Specifically, the 3rd shell.

Jesus, if you're trying to help, do it properly.
