In general, I think Asia has toilets figured out much more than the west. After living here for a while I have gotten used to every toilet having a water spray, nothing fancy just a little shower you can use. After doing the business you get really clean. Much better than paper.

I mean, think about it - when you wash, do you take a shower or do you try to get yourself clean wiping yourself with lots of dry tissue? Imagine the latter would work very well? Same thing, really...

Western toilets suddenly seem barbaric.]]>Aug 25th 2006 12:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/Aug 25th 2006 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/
when i was little.

i pooped in a bidet.

then the poop slid infront of the nozzle thing.

then i tried to flush (via the handle).

poop went flying everywhere.

it was at some country club or something.]]>Aug 25th 2006 2:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/That made me laugh for some reason.]]>Aug 25th 2006 2:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/08-24-2006/0004421458&EDATE=]]>Aug 25th 2006 3:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/http://ptech.wsj.com/archive/solution-20060823.html]]>Aug 25th 2006 3:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/Aug 25th 2006 6:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/Aug 25th 2006 7:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/Aug 25th 2006 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/
I'll go further - I think they've got the whole bathroom thing in general figured out a lot more than we do.

In Japan, bathrooms are two separate rooms - the toilet and the shower and/or bath. (Technically, the "bathroom" is just for the bath.) This makes sense - why would you clean yourself in the same room where you crap? I saw a Mythbusters episode where they tested various things in western bathrooms and they found e.coli bscteria on everything, including toothbrushes. I remember Jamie saying "there's poo everywhere!" It wasn't enough to make you sick, but it's still both disgusting and unnecessary.

So they've got two separate rooms. Then, their showers are generally electronically controlled, so you can set the temperature precisely without dealing with annoying knobs that you have to keep adjusting to get the temperature exactly right. And that temperature setting stays constant, in my experience - there are no dips or anything if somebody flushes the toilet in the other room. Japanese showers seem to pretty much universally use handheld shower heads too - these are becoming pretty common in the US now, but still not the norm like they are in Japan. (My shower has one, but nobody else I know does.)

And of course, they have these electronic toilet seats in the toilet, although these are not as common as the other things I've mentioned. My Japanese in-laws, for example, have all the modern shower stuff but they still have a regular toilet seat. A lot of people do have these electronic seats, though, especially in newer houses/buildings.

The bottom line is the Japanese are years ahead of us in the oft-neglected field of bathroom design and technology.

As for the old squaters, it depends on where you go. Anywhere that hasn't been updated, you'll likely see one. I actually saw more western toilets then squaters this trip which was different from 5 years ago. I even noticed a home improvement magazine that had a tutorial on how to switch out your squater with a regular toilet. I'm sure you're right though.

I remember that episode. What caused them to say that "there's poo everywhere" was the fact that their control toothbrushes, which were nowhere near the bathroom (I think it was in their lunchroom) tested positive for the bacteria, too.

eeewwwwww!!!]]>Aug 25th 2006 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/holy-crap-mossberg-reviews-toilet-seat/
Jeff's right on the shower tech (love a good shower!) but Poop.Force.Five has a point: there are plenty of low-tech toilets here. See for yourselves:

(the choice of 'clean' or 'dirty' examples is up to you!).
