Do Bidets Spray Poop Everywhere?

Do Bidets Splash Poop Everywhere?

As more Americans try bidets for the first time at home and in public, we’re getting more questions about the cleanliness of the experience. Are bidets messy? Are bidets gross? Do bidets spray poop everywhere?

The answer to all of these is no. In fact, bidets are more hygienic and sustainable than toilet paper. Learn more about bidets and poop than you ever really wanted to know. 

Are Bidets Dirty?

Bidets are more sanitary than using toilet paper, which makes sense. Instead of reaching around with your fingers shielded by a millimeter of thin paper, with a bidet you use a concentrated stream of water to remove waste from your backside. The only work your hands do is activating the water spray or dialing in your preferred water pressure. Using a bidet is both cleaner and easier than most people think; we’ve prepared this guide to make your first try stress-free.

Can You Poop in a Bidet?

Most modern bidet products are either bidet add-ins, like bidet seats, or bidet attachments, or Bidet toilets that replace your existing toilet. That means using a bidet is essentially pooping into the toilet, which is strongly encouraged everywhere. 
Standalone bidets without a toilet are extremely rare in the US and most of the world these days. These are small fixtures that look like a separate toilet or low sink paired with a water fountain and a small drain. Stand-alone bidets aren’t meant to handle waste, so you shouldn’t poop in them, but you can use them to clean waste after using the separate toilet without using toilet paper. 

Do Bidets Get All the Poop Off?

We get this one a lot; yes, bidets will get poop off you relatively quickly. Every bathroom break is a little different, but most bidets will have you freshened up in twenty seconds or fewer. It will even remove dried poop with a little extra time, not unlike taking a shower. 

If you don’t believe us, try a final dry-off with a small piece of toilet paper after you use the bidet; you’ll be surprised by how clean it stays, proving the bidet’s good work.

Bidets Aren’t Messy; We Promise

Bidets don’t spray poop everywhere. The drips from the spray carry poop particles directly into the toilet bowl; unless you’re doing considerably more jockeying than necessary, there’s no way for the spray to get anywhere other than where the sun doesn’t shine. You don’t need to worry about getting poop all over the toilet or yourself! 

Plus, bidets are very easy to clean; just make it part of your regular bathroom cleaning routine.
