Are you talking about the squat toilets? Because the other smart toilets are very nice, even if you don't use the cleaning options, having a heated seat in the winter is amazing.


Ah, yes. Squat toilets are usually called "Japanese style toilets" so that got me confused.


They are also called Turkish or Roman toilets.


Weirdly, they are called Turkish toilet in Turkish, too.


Squat toilets are the best. So much nicer to poop on than your bog-standard porcelain throne. Aside from the pooping benefits, they also keep you limber by forcing you into a deep squat on a regular basis.
