Where would we be if we were unable to cleanly dispose of our wastes? Luckily, toilets have been able to do more for us as new ideas are developed to make our lives better.

Many people just assume that Thomas Crapper invented the flush toilet, but in fact that was not the case. Actually the word “crap” didn’t come from Crapper either.

Today the bidet is becoming more and more popular around the world. Now that it is becoming more important and more fashionable to be concerned about the environment, many people think that using a bidet instead of cutting down trees for toilet paper could help save our precious resources.

I bet you can hardly wait for the next new thing in toilet technology.
