Smart toilets or regular toilets?

I mean toilets that shoot water at your a** versus toilet paper.

Personally I think that toilet paper is more hygienic than the water ones. Why? Because of splashback.

Apparently people don't really think about that, instead raging over how much more hygienic it is because it dissolves all the...well...waste better than toilet paper. Maybe that's true but I'd rather have to deal with any residual yuck in the shower than have particles of someone else's s*** being sprayed directly at my a** and v*****.

Plus who the scrubs themselves so hard with toilet paper that they wind up with a sore a**?

    one of your answers ..is on the right lines ..but got a bit mixed up .they are talking about a bidet ..yes its french ...different to a smart toilet ...a bidet you get off the toilet and sit on the bidet ...you do not get off a smart toilet ..look up GEBERIT ..these toilets operate by micro switch when you sit down ..then the toilet can wash your bottom ..and blow dry it ...its main use is for disabled people ..even people with no arms ..they often use light beams to change operations......most people do not know that when you sit on a bidet you straddle it ..opposite way to a toilet

    You mean a bidet as opposed to toilet paper. There is no splashback and they do not have residual fecal matter in them.

    This is a French solution. The water is directed in a narrow jet with about as much force as a drinking fountain uses. The amount of splash back is probably about the same as that from urinating. I've never been to France, but they must use something to pat themselves dry with afterwards.
