Many foreigners are very intimidated by Japanese toilets. But they are great once you learn how to use them!! Squat toilets are great for germophobes who always hover over a seat, this way you can squat all the way down and relax which is easier on your quads than hovering! As for the Washlet bidet toilets, they have heated seats and can clean your booty great, so you won’t waste as much or any toilet paper! But you don’t have to use those features.
