I have two bidets, a Toto and a Brondell. Without the drying feature you would be correct on the the multiple whipes. However, in my experience after the drying function I only need one whipe. That whipe usually consists of three sheets. I also don’t have a very hairy ass, so that could also be a contributing factor to having multiple drying whipes. Regardless, it’s definitely a vast improvement compared to the standard American non bidet process.
