If you look at extreme Japanese toilets, truth is stranger than fiction. There is a lot of space between TP and a full robo-toilet. All I know is that I don't have space for a bidet and a toilet in my house.


the easiest solution is a "bum gun" type setup that is common in South East Asia: https://www.google.com/search?q=spray+bidet. I can't imagine living without one


a separate bidet is a European thing.

In japan they are all built into the toilet, and sometimes the sink as well.


A lot of people are buying bidet toilet seats, which retrofit onto existing toilets.


I guess they're technically called "washlets", but in my experience they're usually called bidets in America.


I think washlets is just Toto's name for it, and they happen to be the "big high end brand" for them. It's a bidet seat for everyone else you ask :)
