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!

Basket of old t-shirts cut into washcloth sized squares. The used ones go in a basket beside the toilet to be washed with the rest of the laundry.

If we're out of rags I just use TP. But you only need a few squares to dry off so it ends up using a lot less paper than if you didn't use a bidet.

If you feel like you have a bunch of shit stuck on your ass, probably wipe first and then begin the spray. I wouldn't want shit-clumps splattering all around the bowl area.

What I do is alternate the water and the TP until the TP shows nothing but water. It may take a couple of sprays and wipes, but the end result is a much cleaner ass than wiping alone could ever accomplish. I might be using about 60% as much TP as without a bidet but I don't care, because my ass is very clean.

BTW this requires decent TP that will hold up to gentle wiping of wet areas, not the cheapest weakest TP will suffice.

Why dry it? It will dry itself in a minute.

I prefer not to have wet underwear…

You can get one that dries with hot air.
