I'm not sure about that - I'll check my seat later. I've been using them so long that I don't know anymore. But if it is inclined, there may be a reason. There are studies that show that sitting in the forward leaning Thinker position facilitates bowel movement, helping people that may be constipated.

Not saying it works or is necessary or comfortable. Just thinking. It may be ergonomic rather than mechanical. Or perhaps a bit of both.

It's a work around for people who don't want to commit to the Squatty Potty




No, Daoism isn't a religion

I have never seen one of these, but I am curious. How does it dry your butt after it washes you?

That Southpark episode cracks me up every time. Beginning a reno project beginning of the year and will be installing two Horow T38P toilets.

Someone posted a pic in the funny meme thread that got me thinking that the person in the pic probably wished he had a toto toilet washlet too.

There is a dryer function (blows air). I just wipe dry w/ toilet paper.

I’ve got a higher end model by BioBidet… it’s one that just replaces your toilet seat. Remote control, Endless hot water, heated seat, heated dryer… it’s gold! You’re a savage if you’re using paper Big Grin
