Am I the only one who thinks water shooting at my rear from a nozzle in a toilet that someone else has used is totally disgusting?

It’s a cultural thing. The water method is probably better for your health.

Why? The water is presumably clean. Sounds kind of like a low-rent bidet. All things considered, it’s probably more sanitary than TP.

People often decide something is “more sanitary” without thinking it through. For many years we’ve had those electric hand dryers claiming they were installed to be more sanitary.

Right. They were installed because they’re cheaper to operate for the guy paying for the john.

Recently ran across an interesting variant from Dyson. Uses high-speed “air blades.” Very effective.

Problem is that by definition it takes the residual bacteria on your hands that previously created a sanitary hazard by being in the trash can on paper towels, and it aerosolizes those bacteria so you can inhale them.

A sanitation win-win!

I think these are the MEN’s toilets. I have no idea what the women do- especially during that time of the month. Gross.

What I’m thinking is that one would have to be buck naked from the waist down to use this method of waste removal.

You couldn’t just lower your pants.

Do they wear shoes when using the toilet ?

I guess you've never “experienced” the Japanese combo toilet/bidet with the wash/blow dry wand and “target acquisition system.” But you better brush up on your Kanji and Hirigana before you engage the system lest you fail to hit what you are aiming for!
