That's definitely an Asian wet bathroom. They probably got the bidet toilet or the little butthole sprayer wand next to the toilet. The paper is for show.

Then why does it have an auto-flusher? What? Who has that in their own home?

what?
It seems like if both glass panes slide, as is fairly common in a shower, that the TP roll could be mounted to the side of the cabinet/counter area outside of the wet part.

I've always thought the "wet room" setup was a great idea from a practical perspective, especially when you're sick/drunk to the point where it's coming out both ends. It also makes cleaning anything in the wet area easier because you can just hose it down as needed, both when scrubbing and rinsing. I wish they were more of a thing in the US.

Question about those - I’ve seen them and used them a bit in Malaysia. Assuming we’re talking about public toilets in airports, railways stations etc:

For any toilet with a sprayer wand, how do you avoid getting your clothes wet? Do you completely remove them? How do you dry your wet rear end?

For the hole in the ground toilets with a sprayer wand: do you need to totally remove your trousers & underwear to use them? How do you avoid soaking your shoes and socks with the wand?

It is a mystery.

I don’t question the efficiency of wetroom bathrooms with a drain in the floor FWIW, though it is possible for beasties to come up through them...

Spray wand bidets are a gentle squirt, not a full-power showerhead. Built-in seat washlets are superior for butts but the wand is better for blasting chunks off poo poo off the bowl.

I've used both of these in Thailand and never had any problem. With the toilet ones you hold it in the bowl as you would with toilet paper so the water is contained. They then supply toilet paper and a bin for drying.

The squat ones weren't a problem either, you're already in an odd position to avoid making GBS threads directly into your pants, some water is no great feat.

Don't think of them like showers, it's a focused spray and you're not holding it far away.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

You can also splice a spray head to your toilet feed, and then poop on the toilet while spraying yourself down.

Bad news, this will be a cold shower unless you have hot water running to the toilet.

Yeah what the gently caress is this, run the tap at full tilt and the spray wand'll squirt like a motherfucker. It's an incredibly focused jet so that just makes it even more intense. Of course you don't run it at full tilt unless you're, say, cleaning behind the radiator with it or something, but still.

Well, see, almost. But I lead up to that with not running it on full tilt normally because if you do that while washing your rear end, it will both hurt and spray poo poo everywhere, so it's not very recommended

It'll touch if you are a sex pest and deliberately want it to, but in general use it's surprisingly easy to keep your distance righteous and just, thus avoiding any butt touching incidents

You can, but that's against code if you don't have a floor drain in your bathroom. However, the bidet sprayers you mount on the seat bolts are fine. Code kinda insists on a drain for every indoor fixture.

One thing living in Japan does is cement the fact that ignoring the opinions of others is a perfectly valid life strategy.

I'm fat and lived in Japan for half a decade, never had a problem with the butt sprayers or fancy toilets in general.

In fact, toilets in Japan are generally better than toilets in the US because most of them are within the US ADA height range (including the thicker heated seats), if they aren't squat toilets. Back here I'm living in a house with a bunch of 12" 1950's toilets and it feels like I may as well be squatting.

Who are you, and why should I care?
I just yanked up the vinyl, trim, medicine cabinet, and light fixtures out of our half bathroom.

The medicine cabinet was held in place by those huge drywall anchors that you are supposed to put a screw in to. Usually called like EZ Anchor and can hold like 50 pounds. Except they didn’t use screws. These were literally screwed through the back of the medicine cabinet.

The light fixture was literally held in place by paint. There used to be screws. I could see the holes. They weren’t there anymore. This was yet another fixture that was not grounded.

The vinyl came up perfectly fine. Just have to remove the piece of wood that is on top of the subfloor. We are putting pergo outlast+ or whatever it is called in that room that is way thicker than the vinyl was.
