panese Toiles

[ebear215]

A friend told me that the Japanese have different toilets than in America. Are the toilets any easier to use? Im just wondering.

I'm not sure if this belongs in the translation section.

Go here though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_toilet

Let me know if this was helpful.

Japanese toilets can range from a thing that you squat over (looks like a urinal only it lays flat!) to fully automatic, heated, coushioned, self wiping/drying things that play music/sounds to cover up your own 'sounds' and spray deodorant!

but, whatever...

my god they look funny

[jinksys]

yeah...im not too hip to the "squat and drop" toilets :-X

Actually I'd think I'd prefer those, much more sanitary, not having to sit where 100's of other butts were.

I still prefer the nice expensive self cleaning ones that they have in restraunts... but yeah, as far as public toilets go, japaense style is a hell of a lot more sanitary than western.

Actually though, I apparently have GREAT bowel control. I've never had a need to use a japanese toilet, even though my work doesn't have western styles.

Harisenbon, providing more information than you needed to know since 1980!
