Not having to use toilet paper sounds pretty convenient.
I have an American toilet but a Japanese toilet seat (toto washlet) and it is pretty awesome. It has a heated seat, a bidet with a built in on demand water heater (you only have to hook up cold water), it has adjustable nozzle length to make sure it gets the right spot, has soft lighting so I can use the toilet at night without turning on the bathroom lights, it has modes to oscillate and pulsate the stream which is much better than it sounds, it pre-mists the toilet when you walk up so your poop doesn’t stick to the bowl, it lifts the lid when you walk up and can lift/lower the seat with a button press, it has 2 user profiles so you can set up your preferred heating settings and nozzle length and such, and it drys your butt off when you’re done with a blow dryer. If you buy a fancy toilet it can auto flush too but I only got this bc I had a contractor friend who sold it to me for $350 bc some rich dude ordered too many for their house remodel and they were selling it as overstock or whatever. I couldn’t justify changing out a perfectly good toilet. It was already too much to spend but now if it breaks I don’t know what I’ll do because a new one is like $800-1200 and I am so used to having my ass blow dried lol
You can find nice seat replacements for toilets on Amazon that are only $300 that do all the features you just mentioned. Especially the important ones like, warm water (without hot water hose needed) Heated seats, and hot air drying as well.
Thank god! I got this one years ago but good to know. It’s built like a fucking tank. I’m pretty sure it will last forever based on that. what I’ve read online seems to confirm it but good to know there’s a backup. Plus anything I can do to avoid Amazon is always excellent
Do this many people have electrical outlets right next to their toilets? That’s the only thing keeping me from getting one. I’ve never lived anywhere with an outlet right next to a toilet.
Naw I just had to set up an extension cord
Absolutely yes. I’ll never go back.
I was in Japan for two weeks and at first I thought I really liked them. The ones I used had heated seats, ran speakers with the sound of water to cover up any uncomfortable sounds others may hear, and had the all-important bidet. The one downside that made me get tired of them though was the small toilet hole. The toilet seat itself had most of those gadgets embedded in it and thus took up quite a bit of room and I’m used to the long type of seat with an opening at the front. I didn’t have a comfortable position for both by butt and penis to fit comfortably without a bit of an ab workout so they got old for me pretty quickly. I recommend just sticking to an installed bidet if you’re larger than the average Japanese man.
Oh yes, trust me, they do. Your butthole will never feel so clean.
I wish I could install a washlet in my apartment, but the toilet is installed into the wall so there is no pipe for the washlet to take water from.
Now that I’m back home after travelling in Japan I feel like like a caveman. Sometimes I even end up taking a shower after pooping.
I have a $50 bidet attachment that’s made my entire life better.
I don’t see a lot of toilet hype really. I’ve heard nothing but good things about Japanese toilets though.
Yes. The biggest problem with them is you will hate pooping outside your own house even more once you get used to it.
I have a cheap bidet that I got on Amazon for maybe $30. I love it. It gets you way cleaner compared to just wiping because the water can flush you out a bit. The downside is that you have to dry yourself off (unless you get a drying model) and there’s more cleaning involved because of the bidet and the powerwashed poop particles that don’t fall straight down into the bowl.
Getting a bidet + squatty potty changed my life, especially as someone with a very poor and inconsistent diet.
Highlight to my trip to Japan if I may exaggerate a bit :D Incredible comfort, heated seats, sounds of nature if you like… Can’t believe they’re not more prominent outside of Japan.
Go to Japan and find out.
I hate pooping in public, I want my bidet at home.
I’ll probably get one at some point, but to test if it was good or not I got a “portable” one (it’s basically a bottle with a special nozzle) and I’ve been using that for years now, with the advantage that it’s, well, portable, and you can take it with you on vacations and the like! It’s like this:

Hellyeah bidets are great! You can get a $20 attachment off amazon that goes under your regular toilet seat and hooks to the toilet water line with a T connector. It’ll be cold water only but works as a great. There are also heated under seat attachments and full toilet seat replacements with a heated seat, blowdryer, and water spray options. After using them for years it feels bad shittin in public bathrooms.
Yes, they are awesome.

Actually yes, some do indeed have a butt hole dryer.
Quite pleasant
If anyone thinks their asshole is clean from just a jet of water, they are either eating plenty of fiber or are going around with a dirty asshole. I also have not got the time to blow dry my ass e be every time I poop.
If you compare water jet vs toilet paper I would argue that the water always wins:
Toiletpaper is a mechanical cleaning method and removing bacterial (aka clean bum) is not super effective with just mechanical force. On the other hand you have water, a solvent wash, this traditionally has a higher sucsess rate against bacteria. Higer pressure also introduces force.
Additionally the surface your are trying to clean is not flat and contains nooks and crannies, and in this case liquids have a much higer penetration rate than any mechanical force.
However, the absolute best way of bum cleaning is of course by combining them as you often do in the shower, to bad time and location dosent always allow for this.

The water jet is pretty strong. Think of it like a pressure washer for your ass. Mine doesn’t have a blow dryer so I use paper for drying.
