Japanese firms showcase personal toilet-bidet devices

The Japanese are indeed the most innovative in this domain. The price will definitely be beyond the reach of many old families. I just wonder if the wearer would prefer such a machine instead of the human touch of a caregiver.

oh sh%t, what will they think of next

Just a fancier version of the relieve tubes we have in cockpits.

Not sure if this picture is safe for work

toilet-cum-washlets, Robohelper love......

Careful with the english now, dont want any misunderstandings here now.......yeow!

Could be a good idea for the international space station, too.

sounds.... stimulating.

Hell, I want one of these just so I don't have to get off the couch on the weekends!!! :p

SO as long as the wearer doesn't move around in bed it should work fine?

When will they have a baby-sized one? 4000 to 5000 yen is less than I spend on diapers, plus this sounds much better and cleaner... all without the non-biodegradable waste of diapers.

This would probably be wildly popular with Truck Drivers.

Actually this does sound like an actually useful and much needed product with a variety of uses. Hospitals and nursing homes would love something like this.

There is something so very loveable in the Japanese lack of nudging & winking about private parts, pee & poo etc.
