Wild Forest Scenario: Clean 'n' Go Using the Toto Porto Travel Washlet

Toto, the Japanese toilet manufacturer, is taking the portable toilets concept to the very edge of hi-tech hygiene (to the woods that is!). They came out with a portable device that is going to help you clean your behind even if you're forced to take a dump (sorry) in the worst places.

This is actually a follow-on to the Toto's washlet home version. They also sell a wooden heated water-spraying toilet for the elderly and disabled and a toilet seat with built-in MP3 player so you can do your thing while listening to Pharell&Snoop's crappy "Drop it like it's hot!" song. Jay Z is definitely got one of these singing toilet seats in his luxurious "boudoir" (sorry Jay Z, this time I mean it).

So, from now on, you could take this handheld device everywhere you go. Forget the caravan WC! This portable a**-sprayer cleans you without the need for wiping. It's a little bit different than Toto's washlet home version though. It sends a water stream to the target but lacks the heated blow-drying capability. That's too bad considering the amount of used paper (sorry again) that will still decorate the woods. So, if you're in a camping place and have to "go", you'll still have to find a bunny and use its fur or something (or you can just use normal toilet paper for drying and ventilation). Right!

Spray toilet mechanisms are used in every Nippon (ahem) public and private toilet. This is probably why Toto Porto will not determine the Japense take a shy approach when it comes to solving the "not so dry fur" problem. But it would've been nicer if Toto had came out with a device that could double as a pepper spray for scaring the bears away.
