My dear friends, I come to you with good news. In this new ecologically-minded society that we live in, we have made the next step — elimination of toilet paper. Our fellow Chinese friends have given the French bidet a whole new makeover.

I came across such a toilet at the Shanghai World Finance Center this evening.


This thing surprises you from the beginning… As soon as you walk up to the toilet, it automatically raises the lid. Then, as you sit down, the heater and bowl light are activated. After you do your business, you can wipe and leave to activate the automatic flush, or you can check out the panel on the wall.

On the wall, you have the option to Flush, Clean, and Dry. Then clean function is broken down to Front and Rear clean, and you can also control the level of intensity and the pulsation effect (oscillating, pulsating, and plain rinse). You can also control the intensity of the water flow. When you’re feeling squeaky clean, you can hit the dry button to dry off.

After you’re done, stand up to turn the light off and watch the toilet seat go down automatically. Cool, right? I think we may have gone too far with this one. I pushed all the buttons and all the options, and I gotta say — I felt pretty violated. At the 92nd floor of the 4th tallest building in the world, this may be as close as I get to joining the mile-high club…
