Why You Need to Try a High-Tech Japanese Toilet
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 апр 2019
- Once you use a toilet with a heated seat that washes and dries your tushy automatically, you can never go back. In Japan, about 80% of Japanese homes have electronic toilets, and it’s easy to see why.
Lifehacker staff writer Nick Douglas ventured to Tokyo to learn what it took for Japan to accept high-tech toilets into their homes-and what it’ll take for Americans to do the same.

Who's here because of South Park.
🤣 me
Lol
f toilet paper
Yep and I want one! 😂
😂✌🏾
Thank you Randy Marsh for steering me towards this product! 😂
🤝
First crap back in the UK after visiting Japan I felt like a caveman! We literally used the toilet at every opportunity over there. The holiday was awesome but the toilets were definitely our fondest memories 😁
When I visited the UK for the first time, it felt like heaven. It was my first time visiting a developed country, as I come from a poor, underdeveloped country. And my god do you feel sad you were born in a third-world country once you visit the UK. The UK has a beautiful blend of new, modern architecture and historic buildings, while the people have a more meaningful culture than Americans. Not to mention, the infrastructure was great, excellent public transportation, great control of pollution, and just beautiful streets. I’ll admit, it did shock me to see no bidets or bidet sprays as they’re common in the country I come from, which doesn’t even come close to being as wealthy as the UK.
Great story...... but this video is about Japanese toilets!
My friends laughed at me because I'm more excited and impressed with the toilet rather than tourist attractions like disney sea and such. And I come from a country when non automatic/ holdable bidet are common. But they certainly cannot compare with those hightech and super convenient japanese toilet! True, fondest memory. I swear there would be one someday in my own house. I heard it's quite expensive but not impossible. Would be worth it. Wow I sound obsessed.
@@winawina4389 haha yes, it's hard not to be the first thing I talk about when people ask me how Japan was. Bearing in mind it's the most amazing holiday we have been on that speaks for itself. My friend who we went with bought one straight away when he got home. I will definitely invest in one when we move! People can't apreciate it until they've had the experience 😂
@@user-ji3il6ce2o Things must be bad in your country if you think the UK has "excellent public transportation". But thanks for the compliments, it's always nice to hear the opinions of other people about your country, especially when they are nice
It is hard to describe the feeling you get when you seat down on this toilet. You will be surprised every time.
When in Japan, I sat down even when I had to just pee just because of the warmth and feel good.
Have been to Japan. Can confirm. The ascendant joy of use conveyed in this video is not overstated an iota.
Watching this while sitting on my offline toilet
Lmao 😂😂😭
you can update you toilet also
Get an electronic toilet when you have the chance, it's SOO worth it 😭👌
call it analogic 😅
*Soft music*
🎶(Oh yeah) 🎶
Ohhhhh Yeahhhhhh
(also me when I fail the driving test)
Japan is truly ahead of the rest of the world in increasing human convenience through technology. God bless Japan.
Randy Marsh sent me here.
Just don‘t tell everyone else how great it is. I heard there was a kid two years ago writing about this in the school newspaper.
1. How do you wipe.
2. Who else is here after watching the latest episode of South Park?
U dont
I'm always envious of these. It seems like such a stupid thing that they aren't everywhere in the western world.
Western dont have bidet?
@@Jojo-xe5nb nope it’s all manual gotta take a dump flush it down and wipe your own behind with crappy toilet paper that always has you going back and forth cleaning yourself
@@gamerguy6990 um.. Well, then how do you guys survive illness after doing an*l s*x? I remember my friend said his western female like doing these stuff
@@gamerguy6990 Bidets are common in some European countries. The word itself has French origin. When the British has relationship fallout with the French during Napoleonic war, the Anglo-Saxons begins to shun the practice of wet-washing their bums after taking a dump because it was deemed "too Frenchie" and with it comes the propaganda of slandering the practice as well. That until very recently, as evidenced by a lot of comments here.
@@yohannessulistyo4025i heard it was because in ww2 americans first encountered bidets in pr0stit0ts houses and associate them with it. And to think french were considered the dirty ones while they were the ones who clean their buttoks right. Wonder if its even true that they dont bath frequently i starting to doubt it
I find the most amazing tech about these Washlets is the deodorizer. The filter actually dampens the foul odors and it dissipates in seconds. The newer models don't begin extraction until after you get up, but you can manually hit the deodorize button while seated and it eliminates all the nasty gases and odors in a snap. This is a must for a house with multiple tenants.
With the toilet paper shortage bring them to North America.
Warren H. Oh should of seen the news
Lootys loots Loot loot what news?
Warren H. Bout I would say two weeks ago many countries ran out of toilet paper, so if you saw the news you should of got toilet paper just in case
Amazon has dozens of models from Japan made Toto to US born Brondell and BioBidet.
Australia needs this right now.
These will be next thing to sell out
Yeah with all that kangaroo meat you probably need some
They do but the ones from Toto specifically cost a lot though
AGGAGAHDHHAGEN
Nah they can’t afford it
I can confirm that these Toto toilets are life-changing. They are simply amazing. My main goal in life right now is to be able to install one of the high-end Toto toilet in my home. They’re too pricey for me now, but I’m hoping to be able to afford one at some point. Maybe if they catch on in the U.S. the prices will come down.
Actually, for a few hundred bucks I got an electronic bidet seat. Goes on the existing toilet and has all the same features (warm water, sear warmer, dryer, etc.). It was actually much more affordable than I thought. It has been truly life changing to have a truly clean butt crack. 😂
@@carinfotainment4220i dont have it but at least i shower after. Those toilet papers are no good
Main goal... ummm someone get this man a frontal lobe.
@@carinfotainment4220 I got one! I splurged and got a nice one with all the fancy features - like not spraying if no one is seated on it. It’s awesome to have a bidet at home!
I'm an Indian. I have a bidet and a handshower both for rear and front respectively. It's not hi-tech like seat heating etc . I'll never understand how just wiping could make it clean. It surely works for a large populace but water is a must in India.
Well, you're an indian.
There's no toilet in India, everywhere is a toilet in india
Yeap gotta get one of those like my man randy
South Park brought me here...
The idea of having bidet is pretty common in my country in SEA region, at least in public toilet inside a mall or shopping center, since we are using water and toilet paper to clean it up. Its not high tech like in Japan but it actually pretty comfortable.
For a cheaper one we used handheld bidet. very common for some household here.
Something so simple yet so amazing, add value to something few people would pay attention like a toilet and see how mesmerized they will be by simply enhancing human convenience through technology like that, convert a everyday physical necessity into a comfortable and pleasant experience.
Every time I went to Japan, I was so tempted to take pictures and videos of the Japanese public toilets... thanks for the video, our kids need to study Japan from year 6
First time I get to Japan I am going directly to the toilet 🥰❤🇯🇵
Here from South Park 🤣😂
Would it be weird if I fly all the way to Japan to be seated in a toilet, it would be I guess...
@आदि राजपूत Oh hell naw xychfzwtzucvoyvkh
@आदि राजपूत no.
@@generalpes9979 yes
@@generalpes9979 in a way yes as they release a lot of pressure that has been building up and nature intended us to defecate that way as its biologically more easier
1:13 don't try a bidet with pants still on
Bruh
Hehehe
Whenever I come back to the west and sit on the toilets instantly I feel dumber!
I'm in Japan in a hotel with these kinds of toilets... I have ascended beyond our barbaric excuse of a...bathroom in my home country (the US). I laugh at Donald Trump bragging about a golden toilet, that isn't luxury! Having a Japanese toilet is vastly more luxurious!
a... bathroom
OMG YOUR IN JAPAN??? CORONA VIRUS 😱! MY PANTIES ARE INSIDE OF MY BUTTHOLE THEY ARE COMING OUT OF MY MOUTH OMG
@@obisidian9243 u weird
@@obisidian9243 Just woow.. .. ....
@@obisidian9243 bro you okay
Randy brought me here
Outstanding !! I would like to try that out 😊
Okay Im ready to buy.
Southpark brought me here, thank you Trey & Matt.
Much better than a golden toilet.
Who is here because of south park as well?
why do they not mention about hot air blow drying function?
also if you live anywhere that has winter season, the best feature is the heated seat. makes you don't want to get up.
Someone with a weed farm recommended me
More countries like Australia would take this up if Toto actually had a significant prescence in Australia. They have almost no showrooms across the country, no tv adverts or anything. Most people don't even know the company exists period.
Here right after south park
I order 9 for my family home. We have installed them here in Congo DRC. Couldn't find them in South Africa at the time. I also ordered them after my masters degree in Japan
I want one, you are really clean after use
here because of South Park
Oh, I want to try out one of this high tech Toilet’s, but I gotta go to the nearest big city, Vancouver British Columbia, which is a 3 and a half hour bus ride from me.
This is why i wanna move to japan
Yes, they are the best!
Alert: Automatic toilet is very dirty!. It is not safety !
How it become dirty?= The water supply can be contaminated, the water tank can be mixed with liquid viruses !
What if Evil people involved Duplicating real money from the Government are
sponsors to invent this newest technology so that people become very sick and go to their hospitals
and buy medicines and elderly easily died !.
What if: The water for cleaning vagina, the water cleaning for anus is very dirty , the water for washing vagina and the water for washing anus contains liquid virus , intentionally to mixing it?
Always remember: Satanism group and Duplicating real money from the Government are very practical people, they already accepted human body will die even if the truth is, our human body will never die!.

My school I went to in the UK needs them
I welcome heated seat
We being using it for the past ten years. It makes more sense, if you get poop on your hand, would you wash your hands or just wiping it with paper?
who's here after watching south park?
Never seen south park- never will
Magic! The birds. The smell. The warmth of the seat. Should be add mandatory everywhere!
Nothing beats a soft seat cover
The barbarians use to marvel at Roman toilets.
I tried in Taiwan. What luxury! I want one!
They copied in japan because taiwan like japanese toilets

an empty roll is one thing but what about a toilet seat that doesn't open because of failure or power outage. Or the extending water wand failing to retract. Lot's of possible trouble with and electric toilet with it's many features.
Very common in France for more than 50 years
We need this everywhere because toilet is always sold out in markets
So... Southpark nailed it. Even had the music thing right.
A Very Good Quality Product
Bidet is a must have
I want one of these
I’m sold
the cold water blast at least for the time it takes to warm up the water in the lines must be quite the shocker to the tush
Japan
Love love it
Come to Brazil please
Just had a bidet put in , I’m so happy 😍✨
Came here to find out how to use the three sea shells, but I'm still lost..
Is the cleanliness a question? Well, as one South American in 9gag put it: you don't just wipe poo off your face with tissue and call it done.
A revolutionary movement in indoor plumbing for revolutionary movements in your plumbing.

RANDY MARSH SENT ME HERE😂
Ok, how much ?..
I want too make a loggy on this !!!
The rest of the world during a war: oh no we can’t use our precious bidets! 😭
Americans: I see literally no difference than usual.
Enid needs this
Really deep cleaning your nether parts is easy with Holiday Inn hot tubs.
I mainly want the heated seat and self cleaning part.
Yeah I think I wanna go Japan right now
Lovely.
But it seems maintenance costs will be at high side.
damn i was watching this on a normal toto toilet
US need this right now
@@superclark1981 hahaha exactly!
Where can one buy the Japanese toilet Inax Aqua Ceramic?
Randy Marsh sent me here
I like how the seat make you knees a bit lower. The old raising knees method is overrated, it puts pressure on the rectum and pressure is a bad thing.
I really want to go to Japan now just to use a toilet 🤣 am I crazy
buy one is more fast
@intelligent toilet vogo but theirs come with the hotel
True
Bring on the 3 sea shells 🐚
Every time I hear someone talk about toilet tech I just remember that video of a guy shitting on the seat of one of these and letting it do its thing.
The toilets make my bathroom look like an outhouse.
I want one
I want one but I can’t find anywhere that has them where I live.
Super
This is one of the things the moment I get rich I will buy, along with a ridiculous expensive mattress
4:03 south park
Carona virus comes along
Toilet paper=everyone rioting to have some
Japanese toilets=....
Corona leaves chat
I would love if these become the standard. The hotel idea is great and I think a good next step would be to give a bulk buy discount to housing developers in high end housing markets. Once you've tried it and lived with it, it's hard to go without. I have one of the affordable attachments, but it's missing a lot of the features. It'd be nice to have the dryer since now I generally have to use a little toilet paper to dry off.
One thing I will say is that I don't think it has any great effect on hemorrhoids. Actually I wonder sometimes if it can exacerbate them. This is gonna sound gross, but having at least a little shit in your rectum kind of helps keep things... Moist? After I really give the bum a clean with the bidet it feels almost TOO clean. Like dry hands after using harsh soap. So there can be too much of a good thing, but it's still way better than using TP
I saw one in the mall in philipines in manila
I use the 3 sea shells
Many water saving toilets I have seen in North America have a very small exit hole 🕳in and waist doesn't go down the drain . You have to flush 4 or 5 times waisting even more water than a powerful American toilet
this toilets works better than many governments.
Oh yeah I miss the toilet I can't wait to go back next year for schooling.
Poor old blue must be so jealous
I’m a person with a high rate of diarrhoea, would a toilet such as one of these be beneficial to me and my lifestyle?
