What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world?

      pro tip: get a mobile one. Its basically just a plastic bottle with a nozzle screwed on. Some even come with little travel bags.

      Installed one for my Filipina wife. Never used it myself. I have shit on that pot for months, still forget it’s there. Old habits die hard.

        Dude. Do it. Go. Right now. Don’t even need to drop heat. Just go freshen up.

        Yeah I gave it a go. Not a fan. Took a lot of drying and I’m not very messy.

          I got one with a dryer that makes that a lot better. It does take too long to fully dry it though, so it’s this middle ground of not too wet to dry off, and not waiting forever for the dryer.

            Do you not use any toilet paper? That’s gross. You need at least a tiny bit, it helps to dry too

              Sorry my bad. Yes a little toilet paper. Much less because of the dryer.

          I love how you’re being downvoted for having a personal opinion that harms no one but dares to go against the circlejerk.

            Yeah 2 of my close friends told me it was the greatest thing they’ve ever bought. I was very disappointed to say the least.

            Because dry wiping doesn’t actually clean your ass, it just picks up most of the shit and smears the rest into you.

              I understand why you like it. I don’t understand why the other person isn’t allowed to dislike it. Does it harm anyone if he “smears shit into the rest of him”?

          OK guys – Think about this – What if you got shit on your hands or anywhere else on your body. Would you make this argument? Would you think that would be OK if someone told you they just wiped it off with a paper towel and went on about their day? no.

            For the sake of your septic system, please don’t flush those! Not even the ones that lie and say they are “flushable”…
