Bidet users, how do you dry your ass afterward? (sh.itjust.works)

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!

Spray with bidet then dry with toilet paper. Why are people so confounded by these things? Have y’all never used water to bathe before?

Because it's a funny haha bathroom post
if you have to wipe with toilet paper anyway, doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a bidet?
Actually I'm a lemmy user, I use Arch btw, live in my mom's basement, I've never been on a date and I never go outside. Of course I've never used water to bathe before.

No. The purpose of the bidet is to properly clean your posterior which cannot be achieved with toilet paper alone. Also the amount of toilet paper needed to dry is lower than the amount needed to 'clean'

My response is always "if you get shit on your hand, do you just rub it with some paper and call it a day?" Usually people get it at that point.
