Flushable Wipes vs Toilet Paper

[USUC]

Asian toilets

I've decided to hold it until I get back to the hotel room. I'm not sure if they are better or not because I have no idea how to use one and frankly I don't want to learn.

I went to Japan with my Japanese roommate in 2000. I went to use the bathroom at a train station when he half-jokingly warned me to keep an eye out for hidden cameras in the hole. I waited until we got home.

It's not hard. It's actually a more natural position, but be sure to carry toilet paper and/or wipes. And like Coach says, the wrong time to learn is when the Peking Duck decides to start pecking your lower intestine with a vengeance.

I was in China about 12 years ago visiting a university and I asked to go to the restroom. They took me to a big restroom with about ten filthy squatters and NO STALLS or doors of any kind. Just a line of a holes in the floor. About 5-6 people were in there staring at me as I walked in. I turned around and walked out and thanked Jesus that it wasn't an emergency.

Yeah, that's a problem, but not a specific Asian toilet problem (I had the same problem on one of my trips to china and had the same issue). You were in Japan a fair bit before I was - did they have a lot of western style toilets then?

Yes. Most homes had western style. We would typically only encounter the squatter in public restrooms. And that makes perfect sense from a hygiene point of view.

And of course, the Japanese make the best western-style toilet in the world: the Toto Washlet.

They've advanced it quite a bit, too. The washers I saw last year were light years ahead of the stuff in the mid 90s. I don't doubt that they had proprietary algorithms calculating the precise angle and pressure at which to deploy the water for maximum ass enjoyment.

I think I'm going to buy one of these things. Sounds delightful.

I couldn't imagine the horror. I don't think I could do it.

Wastewater authorities say wipes may go down the toilet, but even many labeled flushable aren't breaking down as they course through the sewer system. That's costing some municipalities millions of dollars to dispatch crews to unclog pipes and pumps and to replace and upgrade machinery.
The problem got worldwide attention in July when London sewer officials reported removing a 15-ton "bus-sized lump" of wrongly flushed grease and wet wipes, dubbed the "fatberg."

Just fold em' up nice and neat and throw them in the trash (the big can outside, of course!) Sure, it would be a pain in the ass, but it beats a real pain in the actual ass.

whatever the cost is, it's definitely a price worth paying. costco flushable wipes are life changing.
