Japanese & Their Bum-Washing Toilet Seats

Here’s an interesting survey on the Japanese hot water bum-washing toilet seat usage.

The internet-based survey was conducted with 658 members of the CLUB BBQ free email forwarding service.  51.2% of the sample were male, 13.2% in their twenties, 47.0% in their thirties, 28.6% in their forties, and 11.2% in their teens or fifty or older.

Here’s the survey results:

All Male
N=337
Female
N=321
Every time 49.2% 57.9% 40.2%
Sometimes 25.2% 16.3% 34.6%
Don’t use 17.3% 16.6% 18.1%
Never used 8.2% 9.2% 7.2%

Looks like about half of the surveyed Japanese have no problem with the hot water bum-washing toilet seat.

How about you? Do you look forward to using it at least once in your life? Or how was your first experience like?

    in my home country there are toilet seats that have water spray built in, so we just open the tap and the water flows automatically to the target. too bad it’s still rare and can only be seen in elite areas..
