I mean, let's say it was sour kraut Saturday and you just downed a whole litre of the stanky delicious juicy slop. Are you gonna totally destroy that bidet? How do you keep that thing hygienic?

    Do you wash a tub of yogurt once you've scooped a serving out of it?

    Do you wash the soles of your shoes regularly?

        So my point there is that 1) your butt is more than just your anus, nobody cleans their whole rectum (or colon, or large intestine) and if they don't, the microbes will be right back. You're never going to get your ass completely "clean", you're just going to get it wet.

        And 2) the microbial community there serves a function, so even if you wanted to clean further than the sphincter, it wouldn't be a good idea.
