    Well, for starters, you don’t pee from your vagina. You could get a yeast infection, yes, but that’s a different issue.

    That said, if your bidet is angled so it’s hitting your vagina or, especially, your urethra, it’s likely not installed correctly or you’re sitting way far back on your toilet.*

    • There are bidets you can get with the option to angle for washing period blood away, but they tell you in the instructions to wash your butt first so that you don’t get bacteria into your vagina, and you also don’t need to use that function either. I never found it super useful myself, so I’d recommend the cheaper version without that function these days.

      why are you explaining that to me, a woman with a vagina.

      I’m aware of that.

        stream of water blowing bacteria into my vagina

        Because that doesn’t cause issues with your urinary tract.
