"American toilet hygiene is very archaic," said Lenora Campos, Toto's U.S. public relations manager. "But people are savvier now. Bringing computer technology into the bathroom is an emerging trend. All that's needed is education and exposure to leading-edge products for Americans to see the benefits of really cutting-edge hygiene."
Several Toto toilets feature separate warm-water sprays mounted at the perfect angle for front-and-back cleanups, as well as an oscillating spray option and a warm air dryer to perk up one's posterior.
Toilets are available with automatic lid openers. And, once the lid opens, if one continues to linger hopefully in front of the toilet, the seat -- which can be set to warm and massage modes -- automatically rises also.
When the individual leaves, the toilet automatically flushes, the seat lowers, and the lid closes. And then the power catalytic deodorizer kicks in to eliminate any unpleasant odors [1].
