Random observations from a Parisian in Tokyo: I love the sink on top of the toilets way more than the electronics. - eviltoast

I’m not super convinced by the water jet. It can make a mess, it requires a lot of paper to dry if you don’t want to wet your pants and if you don’t have soap, are you really cleaning?
Heating seat feels like overabundance (a common thing in Japan).
But the sink to clean your hands and reuse this gray water for the next flush is amazing. I think it should be made mandatory in every region with water resources issues. It’s still not clear to me, however, if using soap there will cause more maintenance issues or not.

    Another issue I forgot to mention. I often find a company toilet bowl, but also part of the seat, covered in sprayed brown water because the last person didn’t seal his butt correctly and didn’t clean up. So disgusting people can weaponize this technology.

      Ew…. Yeah, let me clarify that the bidets I use are toilet seat attachments I’ve installed in my own home, so any weaponization of liquipoo is likely of my own making to terrorize my family. I don’t think I’ve encountered a bidet in a public restroom here Stateside.
