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!

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.

Pre-wiping is just smearing shit around. You're almost certainly better to start with the spray.
