Hey, I have a question: do the men’s toilets have that cascade sound as well? Or is that specific to the ladies room? It just dawned upon me that I don’t know.

Well, now I know for next time.

Absolutely agree. I would absolutely buy a Japanese toilet in a heartbeat.

Thanks, tauromaja!

Didn’t really know what I was doing…

Really? Is that even legal? I mean, I’ve been in a unisex bathroom before, but no walls or stalls seems….pervy. I don’t blame you!

FYI, the button on the left says “oshiri” which means “butt”, next is “yawaraka” which is “soft” and the last is “bide” or “bidet”. Buttspray, soft spray and bidet mode. Basically.

Here’s my own post on the topic.

Can I just say if I had the money it would take to get this installed in my house, I would do it in a heartbeat, Japanese signs and all?

I am inspired to play along with all those Nigerian scams as well as those Award spams. And hope I’ll have better luck in the garden than hero Mike.

You are funny!

Short trips every so often :-) And yet, I still do not dare touch the gadgets.

One time I went inside a unisex bathroom. Ladies to the left, Gentlemen to the right and no dividing WALLS, no STALLS!! No thanks, I held it till the next stop. :-D
