For many people from Hawaii who have visited Japan, one of the things they remember from their trip is the TOTO Washlet. For those of you unfamiliar with it, the Washlet is an electronic bidet that cleans you after using the bathroom.

It’s not surprising why people appreciate the Washlet. After all, TOTO is the No. 1 brand in Japan. For those who have installed one in their personal homes, their reviews have almost always been enthusiastically favorable. So, in order to understand why it is so common in Japan, here’s a list of features and benefits that people will simply love.

With the TOTO Washlet, you can change seat, water and dryer temperatures with a remote control. This remote can also remember all your settings so two people can access their preferences with a simple push of a button.

With the Washlet, you can reduce toilet paper use and help with the environment.

In the U.S alone, people use 36.5 billion rolls of toilet paper a year — equivalent to 15 million trees. Toilet paper is also the leading cause of clogged pipes and overflowing toilets.

If you value hygiene, you will appreciate the clean feeling after every use. The feeling is quite soothing, and it feels good for those with sensitive skin from excessive wiping, or if you have hemorrhoids or rashes. The Washlet can even relieve the symptoms of inflammatory bowel diseases and urinary tract infections.

The automated functions make it a joy to have. A built-in deodorizer that refreshes the air from the toilet to take any foul odors away will be much appreciated. The self-cleaning function makes maintenance very easy. Automatic open-and-close seats are also available on select models.

To top it off, the air dryer will leave you feeling refreshed after you’re done. Newer models feature electrolyzed water, which is a proven disinfectant. It will clean the nozzle and mist the bowl after every use, killing bacteria and keeping your toilet sanitized.
