Often when I suggest one of these style of toilets to someone, there is resistance because it's not what they are used to. It can be an uncomfortable sensation, at first. From my experience, after you use it for a short period of time you will get very used to and in fact strongly prefer only to use that style of toilet from then on. When you understand the advantages in comfort and cleanliness, not to mention the health benefits, you won't ever want to "go" without one again.
We can install a Toto seat that has the wash function, has a dryer function, and is even heated ! It's the ultimate in luxury. And you'll never had to worry about running out of toilet paper again!
Note that we can install the electronic bidet seat without changing the toilet base, in most cases. You can also consider installing a taller toilet base, which you can read about in the links to the right.
A Toto (or similar brand) electronic bidet seat offers improved hygiene by washing with water instead of wiping with toilet paper, which can be more effective at preventing irritation and infections. It also provides comfort through features like heated seats and warm water, and can be especially beneficial for individuals with mobility issues or certain medical conditions like hemorrhoids, IBS, and Crohn's disease.
