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.

It is above the waterline near the back. It also has a guard that it retracts behind when it is not in use. After each use you turn a knob to the clean setting and it does an auto clean on the spray head. It is cleaner than the rest of the toilet.

We've had a bidet for 6 years and would never go back. They are about $50 CAD, take about 15 minutes to DIY install and have very few parts to break.

Well worth the money.
