Loving the clear, graphic answers in here, so can I piggyback on this to ask a question for vagina owning bidet users please:
How do you use it so it doesn't sploosh poo bacteria into your vagina? Doesn't the water trickle down into your bits?
I can provide you the answer my partner gave me to the same question. The bidet provides water with a direction to it. You wash front to back, so all the material is lifted and pushed further away from the vulva and only fresh clean water arrives at the vulva itself. Also, as in chemistry, dilution is the solution, as you are washing less and less undesirable material left and the water runs cleaner and cleaner. So take extra time, wash front to back, and do multiple slow passes.
So, sit on it backwards?
For handheld bidets or the hose attachment this applies, the ones where it is fixed have much more flow and deal with the problem that way. That said, I've never used one of those so I can't say.
Ah! Thanks for this. I didn't know about the water direction. This makes sense now.
Don't have any links, but about a year ago a saw an article about a study on bidets and genital bacteria and bidet users with vaginas were found to have higher fecal bacterial counts.
Ewwww. I think I'd need to look into that more before trying one.

That's a different one I think but similar.
You have to angle your body such that the water drips straight down and not toward the front. It requires some practice to get the hang of.
How much practice? I'm not very good at practicing. If something is a faff I'm liable to give up quickly, particularly if it's something that could be icky.
You can probably get it down in one sitting. Just make sure you can get the angle right before actually going so you don't end up with an infection.
Unless you’re lying facedown on the toilet, it will need to trickle UP into your bits.
When you're sitting the arse sits a bit above the vulva, height wise. Just didn't like the idea of water trickling poo down between my flaps, where it could then get into the vagina.
