Washlet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Washlet (ウォシュレット Woshuretto) is a registered trademark of Japanese toilet industry monopoly TOTO, referring to electric toilet seats with water spray feature for washing. While it is commonplace at toilets in Japan, the term washlet may be used colloquially to refer to non-Toto seats with comparable features. The washing feature includes anal cleansing and genital cleansing. The buttons associated with operating these features are labeled "oshiri" (butt) and "bidet." A sensor may exist that detects human sitting presence to prevent firing water when a person is not present at the seat. In order to determine the anal position, 300 male and female employees of Toto were surveyed during development.
Washlets offer several features, including electric seat heating. The product line with primarily the heating feature only are called warmlets by Toto.
