Remember how much I raved about the washroom at Narita airport? I still hold fond memories of that bathroom stall.
MSNBC has an article today about this fave topic of mine.
Japanese toilets. How I love ‘em.
“Japanese toilets can warm and wash one's bottom, whisk away odors with built-in fans and play water noises that drown out potty sounds. They play relaxation music, too. "Ave Maria" is a favorite.
“High-end toilets can also sense when someone enters or leaves the bathroom, raising or lowering their lids accordingly. Many models have a "learning mode," which allows them to memorize the lavatory schedules of household members.”
How I love the Japanese.
Here’s a weird fact: 23 to 30 percent of Japanese men now sit while urinating. They do so, the report said, for comfort and for "prevention of urine splash."
Japanese women urinate eight times a day, with an average on-seat time of 96 seconds.
On-seat time. Yo, what’s your on-seat time? I love this statistic.
