Japanese Toilet Seats

It is a well known fact that people from different places do things differently. It may be as simple as Asian people using chop sticks to eat while Western people use spoons and forks.  However, one little known difference between Asians (more specifically the Japanese) and Western people is their potty habits. While most people in the United States of America use tissue paper to clean out their posterior after their potty duties, Japanese people opt for a deeper clean with the use of water. And this is no wonder. The Japanese are known to be extremely clean and tidy, and because it is an archipelago, they were afforded the luxury of clean water from time immemorial.

 

So how do the Japanese clean up? Well, they use Japanese toilet seats. SO how do these toilet seats differ from regular, run of the mill toilet seats? Well, the Japanese counterpart of our humble toilet seats actually come with built in bidets.


 

Bidets are contraptions that use water to clean out the posterior and the feminine areas of the body. Usually, it makes use of the same water pipe that is used by the toilet bowl and releases the water through some sort of hose that spews up to reach the desired area of the body for cleaning. However, the Japanese have not stopped at that basic function. These days, Japanese toilet seats are so different from the basic bidet toilet seat because it is packed with customizable features and functions.

Some of the most common functions and features that one could adjust while using a Japanese style bidet toilet seat are the temperature of the water, the volume of the water that spews out from the jets, the pressure that the water spews out from the jets, how soft or hard the water is, the temperature of the toilet seat itself to make the experience more comfortable during extreme weather conditions, and a whole lot more.

 

These functions are designed to fit anybody's preferences so that each and every time a person does his or her potty duties; he is assured of a pleasant experience. The good news is, these Japanese style bidet toilet seats are now hitting the Western shores and have actually become quite popular in Europe and is currently gaining popularity in the United States for being more environment friendly and easier on the budget. This makes the Japanese style bidet toilet seat one of the best Eastern imports in the West.
