If someone was preparing food for you, would you be satisfied if you saw them go to the toilet and then just wipe their hands with a piece of paper instead of washing their hands?

When you touch something dirty, do you feel cleaner when you wipe your hands off with paper or when you wash them under a sink?
That makes sense, but itβs the mechanics weβre asking about here. Like, how do you aim it? How do you dry off?
Like, how do you aim it?
The generic and basic ones you might have to sit in a slightly different position depending on where you sit, but the more expensive ones have an arm that you can move forward or backward to aim where you need it. I use it almost all the way forward, husband uses it most of the way back.
How do you dry off?
Ours has a fan - you can adjust how warm the air is and how hard it blows (I don't like it too warm because it feels like it burns my asshole). You use the fan to get as dry as you want to - a lot like the machines that dry your hands at public restrooms, actually. When you're done, you're either dry enough to pull up your pants and wash your hands, or you use a lot less tp to dry the last few droplets.

Is the irresistible and sublime pleasure of touching your own feces and removing them with your finger from your anus
i bidet every day and never touched my poop or anus
I can't speak for the specifics of how to use bidets, but in my experience the general idea is to use them to supplement your daily hygiene rather than as a replacement for toilet paper.
Where I come from (the Mediterranean), it's not customary to take a shower or a bath every single day. Personally, it's not possible because the frequent exposure to hot water dries out my skin and worsens my eczema. So the bidet is useful for keeping my private parts clean every day in absence of a full-body wash.
It's basically a mini bathtub for your crotch. You don't get into the shower every time you take a shit. Or do you?
I was always confused about the usefulness of bidets because I was taught to wipe with wetted tp at least once while wiping.
