Japan's toilet cares!

in #health8 years ago

We all know that Japan has the world's best toilets. They take pride in giving the best comforts even in the toilet. In terms of cleanliness, thoughtfulness and comfort, it is hard to find better toilets elsewhere in the world.  

At Tokyo's Narita International Airport, make sure you check out their toilets if you are there. A new initiative rolled out for them to provide toilet paper to clean your phones. 

They even provide Wifi and travel information on the toilet paper itself by the Japanaese company Docomo.

Japan has a toilet deity!

What!? yes its true. KAWAYA NO KAMI is the Japanese goddess of earth and darkness also the toilet goddess. There is even a hit song called "Toilet no Kamisama"  that promotes taking care of the toilet because of the toilet goddess. This could be one of the reasons why the Japanese care for their toilet so much.

Or you could use your smartphone to wipe your bottom with the iWipe accessory and answer it with the left hand thus leaving the right hand cleaner for things like eating food. Just remember to always whisper in the right ear. Okay, on second thought maybe that might void the warranty - best not do that. Lol. ;)

haha i googled iwipe. thanks for commenting

I was totally joking. Funny that you googled iWipe. You did post it under the 'funny' tag though. :D
