| The Toto Washlet toilet. Toto |
IT
may sound as if I’m exaggerating when I say that a high-tech, heated, warm-water-spraying
bidet toilet seat ruined me for regular toilets, but I’m not. I don’t know how
you guys do it. I look at your normal toilets, the ones with seats that are as
cold as ice, the ones that don’t spray and buff your nethers with a soothing
shower of cleansing H2O, and I shake my head. I look at your dry-wiping ways,
and I wonder how your mom raised you. Don’t you want to be clean? Don’t you
ever feel ... not so fresh?
“You
don’t try to clean the rest of your body with a dry towel, right?” said Jerry Bougher,
the marketing manager for toilet seats at Kohler, the plumbing fixtures
company. Say you’re covered with mud, he said. “Will you clean yourself up with
a bunch of paper? No, obviously, you’ll take a shower. It comes down to the
same thing with this. Here in the United States we’ve used dry toilet paper to
clean ourselves, and it doesn’t always do the job effectively. Cleaning with
water is kind of like taking a shower. It’s just, you know, cleaner.”
