I mean, let's say it was sour kraut Saturday and you just downed a whole litre of the stanky delicious juicy slop. Are you gonna totally destroy that bidet? How do you keep that thing hygienic?

    I have a sqatti potti to get the natural position, but you know, sometimes you just build up some serious gas and it just comes out like a hydrogen bomb with spray everywhere...Kind of being serious here, I'm interested in the idea of a bidet, but practicality seems a bit off to me. Are they easy to keep clean?

    Like, do you have to clean the thing after every go?

      It depens on what kind of bidet you get, I was talking about the separate ones (the ones with their own bowl), not the built in.

      In any case, if nothing got attached to the bowl (or the movable stick in case of the built in) then you don't need to clean it immediately. But is always recomendable to clean your toilet as often as posible.

        Ahh, interesting. I think I'll look into the separate kind, seems like a non-committal way to try one out!

          Eeh no, actually those need the same plumbing and space as another toliet so I reccomend the built in

            I think we may be talking about separate things. There are squeeze bottle types you just fill from the sink, which is what I'm going to try, and there are some that use the same water source as the toilet via a fitting with a splitter and it is just a hand held nozzle that sits in a holster attached to the upper bowl.

              Ah, yeah I never tried any of those, I was thinking about the ones that are just a retractable ¿stick?/¿wand?/whatever that you attach to your toilet.

      Most of them retract when not in use and they have a little lip that covers the nozzle from debris while retracted. So you’d need to clean that more than the nozzle itself. A lot of them also have a “cleaning cycle” where they just flush themselves with water to remove anything that may have gotten on it while spraying.
