How to survive in Japanese toilets

[@UNSTABLE111]

as a paruresis sufferer, public restrooms in japan seems like a godsend..stalls that don't have gaps, very clean and more privacy

[@Tsubaki518]

I first saw one of these in the early 80s. I was playing around with one and hit the BIDET mode for the ladies for rinsing the vjj. Watched a probe telescope out slowly and got a face full of warm water, panicked and hit all the buttons looking for STOP. Best part, seat warmer function and ass blow dryer. No more jungle butt.

As I'm watching this while on the toilet, I'm quite disappointed that I'll have to manually wipe my own butt.

Not just in japan. Most of SE Asia uses them and in many countries you need 'em (wet floors).

[@irisviruet8964]

That’s good hygiene. When I was in college I lived in a dorm and we had to share showers. I used to wear flip flops because I thought it was gross getting into the shower barefooted. Especially during our period. (Sorry for my English).

[@denislenoiraristocrat4751]

we use toilette slippers in Turkey too and plus we have Balcony Slippers too :P we don't walk in a home with those slippers because of hygiene ;)

[@GhostvaperYT]

use toilet slippers for shower/toilet in prison as you don't want to catch scabies and stuff

[@powermikey0920]

When I first came to japan, I was a little hesitant to use the toilets. But after I tried it, I wasn't sure if I could go back to using the old toilets back home lol. You just feel a lot more clean after doing your business. And some toilets even have seat warmers which is amazing

[@bobbiusshadow6985]

and a butt dryer

[@moeshickenyay]

Love my new Japanese style toilet bidet, could only get the bidet seat part, would love the sink tank top, it’s complete genius!

[@ufosrus]

What is there to survive? I LOVE the Japanese toilets! (Except the ones where you have to squat). I never had a cleaner bottom in my life. And I loved the public ones with music or water sounds to conceal embarrasing noises. I want one!!!! Why couldn't we have these toilets all over the world? The Japanese are so ingenuous!

[@CreativeCreaturefx]

Not a Japanese invention. Just FYI.

thank you for your simple and clear video! i'm an American living in South Korea, and for the past several years i've been here, i've avoided pressing any bidet buttons on toilets. i just moved into a new apartment, and it has an electric bidet already installed in the bathroom. couldn't understand the manual, but your video gave me the courage to try it out. thank you! ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ happy 💩 💩 ing guys~

[@JapaneseJourney]

never knows best, how was it?

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΙωάννουΧριστοδουλόπο]

When I went to Ōsaka in Japan I stayed in like an airbnb similar thing (?) and the woman who rents it out actually was telling me on the phone beforehand that it has a bidet, and I was happy back home I LOVE 😍 my bidet because i can not only clean myself between the legs but also i can clean my feet when i was sweating a lot in my shoes 😌. So I arrived at my accommodation after a 20h+ journey in summer I spent in leather shoes... THE BIDET WAS THE FIRST THING I WANTED TO USE !!! and i was soo happy to have one 😍 but when I entered the small house I was renting I couldn’t find the bidet at all 😱 so i called the woman that rents the house out and asked where I could find the bidet, and she responded IN THE TOILET OF COURSE??? I mean she stayed very polite but I clearly noticed she didn’t like that question, because it was so obvious, but because she is so generous she came in order to show me how to use the japanese bidet, and then I realised a japanese bidet and a greek bidet (looks like a toilet and a washbasin combined) have actually little to nothing in common..... that was actually kinda embarrassing for me haha..... :// 😆

[@paulphillips3575]

You can get these toilets now in the UK. I know because we have just had one installed and it is fantastic. My wife was in Japan two months ago and she had one of these in her hotel room. She couldn’t stop talking about it. I could not understand what could be so different between a Japanese and a normal toilet seat, that was until I tried one. When you sit down you hear a short bleak, that’s telling you that the sensor has acknowledged somebody is on the seat and a small reservoir of water contained in the seat will heat up. After doing your business (and there’s no shame in that, we all have to do it) press the button for butt wash. It takes about 10-15 seconds before the wash starts and then just sit back and enjoy. It truly is fantastic. When you’ve had enough or think you are nice and clean, press the button again to stop the wash, then press the blow dry button to finish up. Once you have experienced one of these you will never go back to a sub-normal toilet again.

Okay the toilets have many buttons and me being the person I am was like let’s press all of them btw the lid to the toilet was up so like ha and I did and the water spray thingy went out and I was like amazed until it sprayed out the water and I got splashed with it

[@darkuser9992]

Some people say it's crazy and OTT..but I'm like "why complain? It doesn't cost you anything. It's clean, useful and a luxury...It's makes the most used thing in the house that much more comfortable. I'm not complaining"

[@JapaneseJourney]

Neither am I.

[@You-Be-The-Judge]

I guess I am just the curious sort but you missed what the other 6 buttons on the wall mount do???

[@JapaneseJourney]

I think you're actually the first person to ask. The 2 at the top left are for increasing and decreasing pressure, the 2 on the top right for moving the position of the nozzle forward and backward. The other two are if I remember correctly for having the water jet move a bit (the button says "move") and for having varying pressure ("rhythm").

You know when you have washed your bottom or lady parts or even both how do you dry them off😅😅,I did notice there were more buttons,was there an air dryer there??..Now that's what I call toilet etiquette..

[@gferrol118]

I'm surprised we don't have these anywhere else in the world. I mean, it reduces the amount of toilet paper used, which helps the environment. Plus, this is way better than wiping your ass

[@mrtodd3620]

How effective is the spray for the butt? Is paper necessary afterwards?

Yes, for drying. Some seats have a built-in blow dryer however.

[@JapaneseJourney]

Yes, only the other way around. First you wash your hands, then you use it to flush. If there's a power outage you'd have to use old style toilet paper :-(

[@mgtowproperties]

Japanese Journey eww And eww That’s disgusting So if you accidentally flush before you wash your hands you basically double decked yourself

[@JapaneseJourney]

You flush and the water for the next flush goes through the basin at the top into the storage below. This water is then used for the next flush.

[@zisisstip49]

What invention could replace toilet paper?The bidet with vertical jet. Its strictly targeting water stream reduces the needed water amount and so the drying t. paper and also the disagreeable cold feeling, so the warm water is not necessary. Simple, durable and cheap (from $14). Unsurpassed effectivity.

I have never heard of one not having a dryer with warm air. PROBABLY they also didn't adjust the water to warm also. AND it's so funny they didn't get the bidet is for women in the front part, wash is for butt part and for men. Now don't ask me about what happens with men's other parts as to which works best. These are reslly nice and very clean - once you have used and tested you will find for 99% of the time, you will be sll nice and clean. American bidets with out the japanese features just wash and you have to dry with paper. Thank goodness the japanese are smart. Some of these have lights, music, etc to help you,relax and not have to turn bright lights on in middle of night. I think they are cool. You can buy washolets seats here and install but they of course need electrical and plumbing so ai think it is better to splurge amd get the whole toilet. I have used one of the seat types and they don't quite work as well. Also like the sink that reuses the water you wash your hands with to reuse for flush. Japanese have bathtub and washing machines that connect that use the bath water to wash the clothes (fresh to rinse). We may think thats wierd but yiu habe to remember Japanese onky use a bath to relax in AFTER they have showed and are clean. Same as you shower and clean before using hot tub or swim spa.

How to get job in japan working holiday visa

[@JapaneseJourney]

When on a working holiday visa it is likely you will get a non-skilled job, for example as a waiter, or a language teaching job. The first requires some Japanese ability, the latter often doesn't. I'd recommend checking www.job-board.info for currently available jobs for working holiday holders.
