You do need to wipe off the water at least and not all models have the feature to dry you after it's done washing your bum.

The drying takes forever too, nobody has time for that.

A rag should suffice , they even sell them in roll form for this purpose

We got a replacement toilet seat bidet a few years ago and it was one of the best purchases I've ever made. Just connects to the water line with a split and nearby power outlet.

As someone who has a Toto washlet that goes on top of regular toilets, can confirm that they are awesome. Would recommend. I can't go back to regular toilets.

Got myself a full on Geberit water toilet last year, and its the best thing ever. Even comes with an airblower and lady shower!
