To think this hotel toilet is hilariously insane?

Just spent 5 minutes, literally, trying to flush it. Turns out there's a manual lever for that, which happens to be hidden behind a towel.

Apart from flushing, it seems to be capable of pretty much anything imaginable and I suspect it may have a PhD. Or require the operator of it to obtain one. Grin

went to a wedding a a laura ashley hotel they had these, we had way too much fun pressing the buttons, still not sure of the point!

OlennasWimple · 22/01/2019 20:48

Yeah, I'd be peeing in the sink and leaving that thing well alone...!!

I’m looking at that second symbol from the left and wondering if it fits your coil for you....Confused

There's a Chinese restaurant in Belfast that has one of these!

Okay, because I'm bored and morbidly curious a gifted scientist rivalling that toilet, I've gone ahead and investigated the kids button.

It's basically a macro programme, it seems: pressing it triggers some water splashing (I guess because that's meant to help you pee?), and it keeps on doing that until it senses liquid having been released. At which point it'll auto-bidet you for some 10 seconds and then auto hairdryer your bum. And then proceed to switch itself off.

Told you this thing was batshit!

I love Japanese loos. 💕 🚽

SD1978 · 22/01/2019 20:56

I'd have used every setting- probably have blown out my anus and vagina with the high level water spray, and still be sitting on it whilst giggling inanely at the novelty.......

Bidet attachments to toilets are pretty standard in much of the world (apart obviously from where people are too poor to have them). I am amazed by how many MNetters haven't heard of them. Even when worked in London, we were putting them in all our clients' bathrooms.

@hapagirl I used to live in Hiroshima. I really miss it..

MiniMum97 · 22/01/2019 21:00

Oooo you could spend hours playing with that loo!

hapagirl · 22/01/2019 21:00

Taken - they make me feel really clean after using the toilet. Especially great while on your period. But it’s a lifestyle thing so I can see if you can’t see the charm if you are with it for only a few hours. Ours broke once and I had to get the plumber out. He was very understanding. He said “I understand ma’am. It’s like not being able to wash your face first thing in the morning!” I’m seriously thinking of importing one. Seven years since I live there and I still miss it daily.

hapagirl · 22/01/2019 21:01

Miss the toilet I mean.

ILoveMaxiBondi · 22/01/2019 21:01

You could probably give yourself a colonic while blasting out some Wham if you fiddled enough with that thing Grin

GabsAlot · 22/01/2019 21:04

so u have to read a manual before you got to the loo-sometimes i dont have time for anything let alone reading

C8H10N4O2 · 22/01/2019 21:04

In much of the far East they are standard, I like them but the translations of functions can be quite funny

The sounds of running water are labelled as 'privacy' in some public loos.

WonderWoman2019 · 22/01/2019 21:06

hapagirl and LoudestRoar

Snap!

There's an expanding export market for these beauties (trend started in Australia a while back so makes sense someone would get around to translating the buttons) and whilst they require necessary electrical and plumbing infrastructure they are well worth it. Nothing like a wash and blow dry first thing in the morning Grin

TakenForSlanted · 22/01/2019 21:07

Oh, I get bidets. And even bidet attachments (lived in the Middle East for a while, even people who can't afford the de luxe version will have a simple water jug there).

I'm not getting the seat heating, water and air temp adjusting and the fact that it seems to make splashing sounds when you sit on it. It's also got some blue inside light thing going on. Like the kind of thing you get in some pubs and clubs to prevent people from finding veins to shoot up.

Except this one only really lights the inside of the bowl blue, so I could technically still overdose on heroin sitting on it if I chose to ...

I'm kind of disappointed it doesn't talk, though.

I miss Asian toilets Blush

keepingbees · 22/01/2019 21:14

I thought that power button said powder Grin

If you want a toilet to talk to you, go on a Virgin train.

WonderWoman2019 · 22/01/2019 21:17

I also liked the ones for tiny look spaces with basin on top of the cistern bit like here
