You'd be surprised. These are extremely efficient - the bidet parts are mechanized so it works great (go Japan!). After using one of these once, you feel like a barbarian using any standard toilet.

The washlet seats can be purchased to fit on any standard or elongated seat toilet. Some of them look more like they belong in a convalescence home, but that's another matter.

You don't believe but you give no reasoning for this "belief". Actually Bidet Toilet Seats are nice for sure but they are expensive; to buy, install and maintain. A much lower cost alternative is the Hand Bidet Sprayer. It requires no new plumbing and actually does a better job cleaning you. If you've never tried both of these the Hand Bidet Sprayer provides a much stronger water flow and more control of where it sprays than the fixed "spray wand" in the bidet toilet seat which is more like a weak water fountain. You can also use the Hand Bidet Sprayer to spray water up inside to help with constipation and hemorrhoids. See bathroomsprayers.com.

> Plus, bidets have many other use cases not mentioned.

Drinking fountains?

I'm genuinely curious what the uses cases poster uses a bidet for, aside from washing their genitals. It seems like a great thing to have and I definitely want one, but its not a particularly glamorous device.

Properly wash genitals after intercourse for example, which requires hands and the right soap since the skin down there has a different pH. Washing feet before going to bed anyone?
