It has both temperature and pressure controls for the water stream, so the warm high pressure water does an amazing job of cleaning the shit away--far better than toilet paper. As for the wet ass issue, it has a built in blow dryer, also with temperature controls. Flip on the blow dryer, read a few rerolled posts, and your ass is dry.
They range from $500-900 depending on the model/features. Toto should give me kickbacks for shilling their shitter. Pretty much every house guest that isn't too embarrassed to mention it comes out of my washroom with a shitfaced grin and asks me "how much does that thing cost, it's awesome".
Lol, that's actually the Thai method you're describing. Every toilet in Thailand has a hose with a trigger nozzle attached so you can clean your ass. From what I gleaned, both Thais/Japs think we're disgusting for using toilet paper.
Yea, always been fond of bidets the few times I've used one - didn't realize they had contraptions to add to a regular toilet - I'd looked into the cost of running two in a bathroom before and the cost was a huge turnoff, but no additional plumbing? Good deal. Not that it'll fit the budget too sign with how life is working though.
