Japan Womens Toilet 22-09-2009 www.dannychoo.com Views 117 For some reason or another, some ladies in Japan are rather shy when it comes to jettisoning human waste. For this reason, bathroom appliance maker TOTO invented the Otohime [音姫] which literally means "princess of sound."Otohime is a device that emits the sound of water to disguise the real sound of the trickle of pee or the kerplonk of 1 kg of poo hitting the waters surface. The video below is an example of the device in action. The Otohime above is a standalone unit (available from Amazon for 11800 yen) but some toilets come with Otohime built in.But what about toilets that are not equipped with a sound emitting device? Well one can stamp their feet or clap their hands as loud as they can or start to cough or even sing to disguise the noise. portable version of the Otohime.The portable version of Otohime or "Keitai Otohime" fits discreetly in ones bag - as you can see they have cunningly chosen pink to camouflage in with natural surroundings.One can even hang it off their mobile device. If you have parents who keep nagging at you about being late out at night, you can always use Otohime to simulate the sound of a tidal wave. Hey Mum, I'm just being swept away by a tidal wave which is why I will be late.Walker Plus.BTW, if you do a search for 音姫, you will also get a load of results for the DaCapo character - she has the same kanji but her name is pronounced "Otome" - bit O trivia for you.
