When we remodeled our bathroom, my husband (along with our contractor) suggested we purchase the Brondell Swash 1000 Bidet Seat.  I told him he was crazy and he could put it in his bathroom--not mine!  But I have been won over quickly and completely.  The clean feeling and comfort that you receive from this appliance is fabulous.  I am not elderly, but I would recommend this to anyone, especially those that have mobility and toiletry issues.  All of the features work very well.  Because it is more visible than a regular toilet seat, it does take away from my perfectly, picked-out-to-match toilet, but the experience is well-worth it.
