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.

The actual sprayer nozzle sits towards the back of the bowl and sprays up at an angle so any dripping is going straight down into the bowl not landing on the sprayer nozzle.
It’s getting fresh water, not recycling bowl water, I suppose there could be some small risk if Larry has explosive diarrhea all over the nozzle, but its probably no worse than if you have any splashback after using a regular toilet after him. Most of the models I have used also have a self-cleaning feature that will have the nozzle rinse itself (they still do need to be actually cleaned periodically of course)
There is a little bit of splashing, unless you’re abnormally small and skinny though most of it is probably just going to get your butt and staying in the toilet, once in a while I’ll get a couple drops on the front of the toilet seat and I’m pretty sure that’s just over-spray shooting directly between my legs, not poop water splashing off of my ass
I think this is the best response. So many people are answering a seemingly angry way to a question that seems sincere. It’s clear OP didn’t get how it worked and just wanted some information and wasn’t saying it was a terrible idea.
Also a lot of typhoid and stomach flu type pathogens don’t spread butthole to butthole, they spread via the “fecal-oral” route so… that happens in situations like someone took too small a slice and touches your food (or receipt that you ate to prove they liked your gift) without washing their hands properly.
Okay but are you just using toilet paper to dry afterwards? And does just water actually get it all? You’ve still got to get in there a bit right?
A few things.
It depends on your bowel movements and how much fiber you eat. I still have to wipe a little after the water, but far less than without. Others, drying is enough.
After using one for a while now, it seems so uncivilized not using one now.
Most people do, but a couple squares to pat dry is probably less than you’d use otherwise. Some fancier models have blow dryers. Personally, I won’t lie, I’m probably going to sit on the toilet for a few minutes scrolling through Lemmy on my phone after I’ve done my business so I tend to just air/drip dry.
I have some pretty basic models, and they do a pretty good job getting everything clean, they have a pretty powerful jet. Definitely a lot better than I’ve ever been able to do with TP.
Some have built in dyers. Even with it, sometimes it feels a small dab helps some more, but it’s not really necessary. Also, that water should be clean at that point… Do you perfectly dry your ass with a towel after showering? Etc
Usually. You can also run them more than once. Some have “pressure” settings. Some move back and forth. And you can always check with paper, and see if you need to change something or run another cycle.
I’ve never had to. Occasionally run a second cycle, but no.
You do dry with toilet paper. Personally if the toilet paper doesn’t come up clean I go back with the water again until it does.
Having my ball hair blasted with deflected ass water sounds not so great if I’m being completely honest
My dude, your ball hair lives inches away from your butthole, maybe not even that far depending on how saggy your balls are, how long your hairs are, and how supportive your underwear is. I promise you that nothing that’s splashing onto your balls is any worse than what’s already there.

Worse than smearing shit all over it with a dry piece of paper and hoping it comes clean?
Yes
It’s not that powerful of a jet of water. I mean, I’m sure there is some, but if you’re doing it right, only the parts you want to get wet are getting wet. Besides, the alternative is like using a paper towel to clean peanut butter from a shag carpet.
