I brought one of these home from Japan and have been trying it out on unsuspecting houseguests. People usually yelp the first time (surprise heated seat!) and after the second time they're hooked. The water jet is unsettling the first time you use it, but you get used to it quickly. The feeling of having a genuinely clean butt gives you the confidence you need to go crush it in the boardroom.

How do you dry your ass off?

  Obviously you still have toilet paper, but in my experience some of these toilets also have air jets for drying.

    Based on trying to use toilet paper to dry off from an errant splash, it's not very good at that purpose. It's designed to fall apart as soon as it gets wet. And anything that isn't (paper towels, etc.) should really not go down the drain, as it's likely to form clogs.

      You're just cleaning up droplets of water on the underside of your butt, not sponging up a puddle. If your toiler paper can't handle that, I have to wonder how it can handle its other duties. Try a higher ply.

  Wipe once with toilet paper and you're good to go. It's like the best of Eastern and Western civilization, coming together to clean your ass.

  They ones I've seen have built-in driers.

Can't speak to bidets, but a while back on a whim I bought some flushable moist wipes and started using just like one at the end. Yeah knowing you have a clean butt is totally a confidence booster. Side note: on the general toilet subject Niagra Conserveration's 1.25 gallon flaperless toilet is excellent that thing can flush a giraffe[1].

  Was looking at the Niagra Conservation website, they seem to sell only through distributors and plumbing professionals. Are these sold for DIY installation?

    You can buy them from Amazon I know, I just checked home depots website, they only have the .8 gpf toilet which is can't vouch for. ... Which is to say yes you can buy them for diy.

  There is some difference of opinion regarding whether wipes purported to be flushable should be: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/15/nyregion/the-wet-wipes-box-says-flush-but-the-new-york-city-sewer-system-says-dont.html http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/15/nyregion/the-wet-wipes-box...

  I used wipes for a while, but they always made me itchy (even the supposed hypoallergenic ones).
