Wow. I wouldn't have believed it if it was on just TV... I sent it to my son who spent his honeymoon in Japan.

When I was staying at a Hotel in Tokyo, they had a computerized toilet. It shoots warm water at your ass to clean after.

They had all sorts of controls, including "man" or "woman" setting. I tried both settings. Their aim was pretty accurate.

In fact I spend a full hour playing with this gizmo. Very well-made. GM needs to make one of those.

Some videos I found...

Goldie - you have heard the saying ...

"If you shake it more than 3 times you're playing with it", haven't you?

I have an indelicate question to ask about using that toilet. I like the idea of getting nice and clean every time, but then you'd need some kind of towel. Are there paper towels handy? or does a person use a cloth towel? Which would mean you'd have a lot more towels to wash.

Just curious.

Toilet papers were there. The problem I had was the aim was reasonably accurate, but not accurate enough. As the result, your entire ass, not just the part you want to wash, gets wet.

But that was 10 years ago. Who knows. Maybe the most recent one has a laser-guided shooting sensor for pin-point accuracy.

There's a shop here in Toronto (Tilley Endurables, selling travel clothes and accessories) that has that kind of toilet in their public washrooms. There is toilet paper, but it's not really necessary because these toilets have a warm air dry feature. Problem is ... the washrooms are right beside the cash desk -- so if you take too long, or come out with a smile on your face ... everyone's going to know

Very cool fountain!

Aaaah, thanks Goldie and Gracie. I always wondered about that... didn't know there was a drying feature.

I think all that racket is meant to drown out all those...you know...bathroom noises.

My cousin just recently lived in Japan for over a year teaching english, and the bathrooms are just the tip of iceberg of the creative contraptions over there.
