How do you dry your ass off?
Obviously you still have toilet paper, but in my experience some of these toilets also have air jets for drying.
I brought one of these home from Japan and have been trying it out on unsuspecting houseguests. People usually yelp the first time (surprise heated seat!) and after the second time they're hooked. The water jet is unsettling the first time you use it, but you get used to it quickly. The feeling of having a genuinely clean butt gives you the confidence you need to go crush it in the boardroom.

Before smartphones became the rage, American consumer technology always lagged behind japan in terms of adoption. I think this is still the case for a lot of things, including toilets.
Even in more rural parts of Japan, how quickly is technology adopted? Or do we make the assumption that Tokyo and a few other cities == Japan?

After i got my new apartment i had a power outlet built in the toilet. Now im so used to it, sometimes i even look for the remote in other peoples toilets, lol.
They say using TP only cleans 20-30% of bacteria and with a bidet around 95%. Most important is that you feel just fresher down there.
My friends coming over dont use it, but my girlfriend does and loves it.

This doesn't require the electricity since it is manual but more or less play the same role like Japanese toilets (without drying facility but you can use TP after using it).

> The feeling of having a genuinely clean butt gives you the confidence you need to go crush it in the boardroom. Can't speak to bidets, but a while back on a whim I bought some flushable moist wipes and started using just like one at the end. Yeah knowing you have a clean butt is totally a confidence booster. Side note: on the general toilet subject Niagra Conserveration's 1.25 gallon flaperless toilet is excellent…
Here's my answer: * no plugs near the toilet in American homes * too f'ing expensive Combined, these two turn getting a Japanese style toilet into a multi-thousand dollar investment. To compare, even reasonably nice toilets cost There are U.S. homes with Bidets in them. My sister had one in the master bath of her 1940s era home. But they're again another $200-400 prices plus plumbing costs. If somebody made a Japanes…
Yes this is the reason we don't have one in our home... the licensed electrical work needed is both too much of a hassle and expensive. Electrical work, especially in the bathroom, is not something I'm willing to hack.
