Public rest rooms in Japan almost make the trip worthwhile. They really get into their sanitation. Relieving yourself becomes a major event.
The have heated toilet seats. Maybe your Lexus has heated seats but have you ever considered one for the bathroom and of course they are padded.
Then there are the bidets on demand. In addition you can have a rectal shower with controls for how strong the flow would be. I must confess that I don’t have any idea the difference between a bidet and the shower feature. I was not even close to trying them.
They also have what you might call Music to Fart By. This is more in the lady’s room than the men’s. The idea is that the music will drown out any offensive noises that you might make while doing your thing. The stalls are also often totally confined rooms so you have to live with what you make.
Then there are what are called “Squatty potties” by some. These are holes in the floor that meet all your needs.
To top it all off there are no paper towels. I always found an electric dryer but I have heard that some places do not even offer that. People carry their own little towels to use when needed.
If you feel you have done everything that America has to offer you might want to take a trip to Japan just for the experience of their bathrooms.
