Over. Definitely
Bidet. Most definitely not.

Under.
Plus bidet.

Bidet. Is that cold water or warm?

Definitely over

I guess the answer is the amount of screaming involved.

Depends if the boiler is in a good mood.

Sitting on the counter because in the 20 odd years I've lived here I haven't gotten around to installing a dispenser.
At work they are required to be over and toilet seats are supposed to be in the up position in both male and female restrooms.

I worry about all the people who thinks to much about this and doesn't just stick it on no matter which way it goes.

Depends........

Arguing how to hang toilet paper roll is rich man problem.
Finding clean water to wash left hand..... is problem for most.

I once used a bidet at a fancy schmancy hotel. It was wonderful.
I'd love to see one of those fancy Japanese talking toilets 🚽

I cannot believe, on such an important topic, we are ignoring the scribblings of the 16th Century monk Francois Rabelais, who wrote (https://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/r/rabelais/francois/r11g/book1.13.html):
Afterwards I wiped my tail with a hen, with a cock, with a pullet, with a calf’s skin, with a hare, with a pigeon, with a cormorant, with an attorney’s bag, with a montero, with a coif, with a falconer’s lure. But, to conclude, I say and maintain, that of all torcheculs, arsewisps, bumfodders, tail-napkins, bunghole cleansers, and wipe-breeches, there is none in the world comparable to the neck of a goose, that is well downed, if you hold her head betwixt your legs. And believe me therein upon mine honour, for you will thereby feel in your nockhole a most wonderful pleasure, both in regard of the softness of the said down and of the temporate heat of the goose, which is easily communicated to the bum-gut and the rest the inwards, in so far as to come even to the regions of the heart and brains. And think not that the felicity of the heroes and demigods in the Elysian fields consisteth either in their asphodel, ambrosia, or nectar, as our old women here used to say; but in this, according to my judgment, that they wipe their tails with the neck of a goose, holding her head betwixt their legs, and such is the opinion of Master John of Scotland, alias Scotus.
To be sure, there's much more about the topic at the link, and I give you merely the conclusion, not such tidbits as . .
Afterwards, in dunging behind a bush, I found a March-cat, and with it I wiped my breech, but her claws were so sharp that they scratched and exulcerated all my perinee.
:laugh:
So, I beseech thee, good surveyor, consider the goose neck for your inquiry.

In hotels, it's supposed to be over the top, as it hangs it freely and not against the wall.
But in houses with cats who like to play with it, it must go under, else you end up with a pile of paper on the floor.
-
Under.
Plus bidet.
Ugh.
You'd like visiting my parents. That's their setup.

For what its worth, I'm a bread bag twist & flipper.

For bidet users...Aren't you soaking wet after using it...and do you pat dry with toilet paper?

At the risk of making this thread head south in a hurry, there is the question of wiping and observing or wiping and flushing without the investigation.

You can get them with dryers. And with remotes if you're a bit of a prankster.

Where does a twist tie fit in?
-
My husband grew up in a house with cats and so always hung the tp under. Took me years to train him to do it the right way. :)
-

I don't know anything about a real bidet... But if you are in a shop with a bunch of drunk redneck engineers, and you modify the toilet there to contain a brass fit 5/8" hose connected to 30 lbs of water pressure, hidden in the tidy-bowl... And wait for a late arriving buddy to enter that bathroom... 10 more seconds... Then flip the air valve that controls the water flow... Well, lets just say that ain't the sort of thing you 'pat dry'... But the 'screaming like a woman' part was worth it.
-

You dry yourself. With a towel. :tongue2:

But be honest is there a sort of exictement in sitting on a large water filled bowl thats been electrified?

Here's a little TMI pro-tip: you can use those massage showers like a bidet if you jump in the shower after uhhhhh, you know, pooping.

That's a heck of a poop if you need to get in the shower afterwards.

And then hang the towel up for your spouse to dry their hands on sometime later?

Dunno. What do you do with shower or bath towels?
It's not difficult. We have a towel for bidet use only.

I was just teasing ya. Certainly if your home has a bidet you have a protocol for it.
Our organization is:
Wash cloths = single use before laundering.
Bath towels, on a his and hers towel rack = two uses before laundering.

More TMI: it gets you way "cleaner" than simply wiping.

:tongue2:
We don't count the uses so much - it's days. Since we change the pillow cases every other day there's always space in the washing machine for the bidet towels and hand towels. Bath towels are more like a once a week wash.

Oh gosh, I'm way too lazy to change the bed sheets every other day. :)
-

Not the sheets! Life's too short for that amount of hassle. They get done as and when - usually weekly. Pillow cases though - I'm mostly bald, means a lot of head grease. Wife has really long hair, means a lot of conditioner etc. So the pillows get disgusting fast if they're not changed often.

You have to launder bath towels?!
I always figured that I just washed, so they must stay clean!

And/or dipping after the first flush. Wet wipes.

If you go native in a Muslim majority nation, you probably won't even get toilet paper or a bidet. You will get only a nozzle-operated water hose. That was my experience in a medical clinic in Indonesia.

I worked and lived in the Middle East for many years and know this to be true. And the people who inhabit such places make a hell of a mess when they try to use our western facilities.

I said the same thing later in the thread without noticing that you had already said it. (It's actually kind of fun to watch a cat spooling out the TP onto the floor much like a boxer slapping a punching bag in a fast rhythm.)

I was at the range with my husband one day and I guess we each thought the other one had packed the targets in our range bag. So I leave hubby on the range and go out to the store area and am looking at the targets they have. One of the salesmen walks up to me and asks if he can help me find something. I don't know what put this in my head, but with a straight face I say "I see you've got targets for ground hogs and turkeys, but I don't see any kittens. Do you have any of those?" The look on his face...

Unburied cat poop is a territorial marker. I admit feral cats, or feral anything, is a problem.

My first cat was a sweetheart, but she never could actually bury her waste. She could spend what seemed like hours in the litterbox scratching around, get out and the waste was STILL on top.
My present cat, on the other hand, buries his waste as if it were gold. Have to dig down deep to find it.

A litter box for humans might be an interesting idea.

As with corncobs, just for outhouses. it seems... a failure attributable to the inferiority of modern plumbing. One thing you won't find in an outhouse is a plunger.
-
Regarding the poll: I can't vote for any of the three choices. I don't use a bidet and when I install a roll of toilet paper -- whichever way it ends up facing is where it stays. I can't be bothered worrying about whether it's over or under. I have more important things to do -- like taking my afternoon nap.
-

I believe the corncob thing is a myth started by some 18th Century comedian. I have known a lot of old timers with generations of outhouses, and not one of them has ever said anything about the use of corncobs. (Sears and Monkey Ward's cataologues, yes [I have used them personally], but corncobs, no. Anyone who has handled a corncob would say that the idea of using it in lieu of paper is crazy. Might as well propose sandpaper.)

I wouldn't know... though I have used magazines in the outhouse if the TP is gone.
I can tell you that out in the woods, counter to what one might assume, soft fuzzy leaves are usually a bad idea. stinging nettle as an example. Very, very bad idea.
and cats. No cats... Maybe a rabbit...

I have used sycamore leaves with wonderful results. BTW, you ought to check out the toilet tissue tablets that you can get on Amazon. I just got some. They are nifty wipes for backpackers.
Fourteen sturdy wipes will fit into one of those little tubes that hikers often use for keeping a small emergency supply of matches dry. The bottom line, as they say, is that fourteen wipes occupy practically no space at all.

Thanks, but I don't carry buttwipe... Well, I DO, but not much, so I don't use it much... wet weather and emergencies...
I just use grass or cedar bark or some such... if you know how to make a birds nest for lighting a fire, you don't need TP. Just miff the stuff till it's soft and downy, even more than you would for a fire, and away you go... Then I ain't got to worry about counting squares to make sure I have enough to last.
