I had a super trick toilet in my room in Tokyo. Man, it was really nice! You can pull my man card, but I'd like to have one. I took a photo. Will have to dig it up.

nynor 01-04-2015 08:34 AM

when i was about 10, parent's house had a bidet in the master bathroom. i watched my younger brother drink from it like it was a drinking fountain. i fell on the floor laughing....

vash 01-04-2015 09:16 AM

i'm with Motion.

the ones in tokyo everywhere are awesome. my aunt in taipei had one as well. my ass was squeeky clean!!

makes me regret not adding some electrical behind my toilet. retrofitting at this point will be a big job.

vash 01-04-2015 11:31 AM

Here is the one we had in Tokyo.

Never used one in 49 years, I suppose it would save on TP.

That looks pretty nice. Mine was an old fashioned manual model, it did not spray water. It was the European style, more like a sink you could sit on. My grandson found it and thought it was a wash basin for kids. LOL! I found it pretty useless and got rid of it when we remodeled. The contractor kept telling me he would take it out but I should keep it and use it for a punch bowl.

sand_man 01-04-2015 02:43 PM

Never used one of those. However, I did promise myself a urinal in the next house that I build, buy, or remodel! No more peeing in the yard for me...okay well maybe sometimes!

wdfifteen 01-04-2015 02:49 PM

It's a proud day when a man teaches his son to pee on a tree.

I don't mind peeing in the yard when I'm working in the garage. Also with an urinal in the next house, won't have to listen to the wife complaining about my aiming ability... :):D:)

Costco had these a few years ago:

IntelliSeat - the Ultimate Bidet Electronic Toilet Seat - Inteleseat Bidet - Amazon.com

I wired up an outlet 'behind' the toilet seat and it installed easily.

My 11 year old son and I use it. It has a dryer - though a little TP is faster.

For some reason my wife rarely uses it . . . Seems to be designed more for the female #1 & 2

It does indeed save a bunch of TP. Warmed seat, warmed water, heated dryer. It's the shiitz.

motion 01-04-2015 03:25 PM

Here's mine in Ginza. Warmer AND deoderizer!

I've speced many but never actually had the chance to use one. I'm kinda curious. Might look into one if I like it.

The Japanese style are available in the US - I have two and really like them.

A930Rocket 01-04-2015 05:01 PM

Are bidets seperate from toilets? That's how how I remember them. A one piece unit might be nice, as we are building a new house.

Never used one, but on one I saw, I pulled the lever and the water hit the ceiling. Maybe it needed adjusting. :)

356racing 01-04-2015 05:02 PM

My wife lived in Japan in high school and college so we have the toto with drier and deodorizer. I could never get use to it but the seat warmer is welcoming :-)

MBAtarga 01-04-2015 05:07 PM

I once watched that "reality" show with the real estate agency in FL that has clients in a nudist colony - apparently the bidet is considered a required home appliance - in order to keep the backside clean throughout the day. I guess the cling-on TP fragments aren't too popular among that crowd.

Funny they make fun of the Japanese toilets in Cars 2:

The Company ToTo makes an excellent unit that will fit on your existing toilet. It does require a 120 Volt power source, $600.00 and up. I have installed a few of them, easy install if you have a power source.

i got the basic one for less than $300. Man car revoked I am sure

Yep, love mine, and when I travel, I miss it.

I did a Master bath remodel for a very nice Japanese couple. The only request, or should I say demand, was a fancy Toto toilet. Design, layout, and materials was up to me. When we got done, toilet was the last piece to go in, The guys and I really wanted to "try it out" but that would not be cool. She was really happy and couldn't wait to use it.

JavaBrewer 01-04-2015 08:33 PM

The gizmo Toto is amazing. Reminds me to put one on the list when I remodel the MBR bath.

I was stranded in Toyko for 36 hours after the big quake. By the time I made Narita airport my digestive tract waved the white flag. Super Toto made it a non issue. Sorry to be so graphic but it's all true. One of my most contented moments actually.

motion 01-04-2015 08:36 PM

And on a related note... my wife was in a bathroom stall in Hong Kong and there was a noise-making device on the wall in the stall. If you pressed the button, it made nice nature sounds to mask your business!

look 171 01-04-2015 08:50 PM

You must be in some high end place in HK with a western toilet:D. My girl friend then, now wife refuse to go where there's a tile footprint and a pear shape hole in the ground. I am told years later that much of the world's toilet were like that, just a hole on the ground.

look 171 01-04-2015 09:10 PM

i have to ask because I am dumb, what's the process on these things? Wipe ( I hope), then press the button for the magic wand to come out and shoot warm water up at your ass? It must make a wet mess on that ass. Trying to clean up all that water with toilet paper will make a bigger mess because the toilet paper falls apart once wet. Please enlighten this young grasshopper.

JavaBrewer 01-04-2015 09:18 PM

The heated water jets blow 'stuff' away. Minimal TP to dry for those in a hurry. Fantastic for those battling mild hemroids...not that I am. IMO very sanitary and pleasing to the hind parts.

Porsche-O-Phile 01-04-2015 09:37 PM

Also what's the difference between the "shower" and "bidet" button functions? Does one jet water like a firehose up your pooper and the other one mist the entire butt area from waist to knees or what?

And is the water pre-heated or what? I'd think using the spray jet thingy on a cold winter's morning when the water in the tap is about 50 degrees would be shockingly unpleasant. This is one of those times when you absolutely wouldn't want to be waiting for any "warm up time" for the warm water to get from the tank through the pipes to the point of use...

When that "stuff" get blown away wet, it has to land somewhere and hopefully not on you? Oh, so no toilet paper:eek: That would make me feel dirty still even if I was blasted by a pressure washer. sounds like a big wet mess. I shoulda had my workman try it when we had the chance. I should have threaten them with a doc in pay if they didn't play the role of the test mule.

Next time I am there, I will remember not to use any of the towels to wipe my face:eek:

There is a towel rack for it. ;) Also TP for the, uh, well, you know....

The American brand is Brondell - prices between 3-600 depending on features-ie whether you want a blow dryer or not. It was a real blessing after my spinal cord injury, before I regained full arm function.

Its not a "blast of water" but a warm jet of medium pressure. Doesn't require revoking the man card, they're used all over EU and Asia.

The other "shower" button is for women, use your imagination...

ckelly78z 01-05-2015 03:50 AM

I gotta say, this thread has made me laugh so many times, but it also intrigues me, and makes me want to have "contented moments" as well. I must try one at some point in the near future !

Some holes are flushable.

I've got the Toto bidet seat both at home and in the office. Once you go bidet there is no going back to tp. Butt, I have had a few problems down there that required surgeries, and the bidet is a Godsend to keeping the area as clean as possible. For some, like me, the damn Crohn's Disease plays havoc with that area.
