In 1980, TOTO redefined personal hygiene by releasing WASHLET, the first electronically enhanced bidet seat designed for everyday residential use. What began in Japan has since reshaped bathroom habits worldwide, with millions of households in North America replacing toilet paper centric routines with water based cleansing. The result is a cleaner, more comfortable experience that many users find noticeably more refreshing and confidence restoring.

WASHLET combines a gently heated seat with an integrated cleansing system. Once activated, a self extending wand delivers a warm, aerated stream of water using TOTO’s air infused spray technology, designed to clean thoroughly while remaining gentle on the skin. After washing, an optional warm air drying function further reduces reliance on toilet paper, supporting both comfort and environmental efficiency.

Designed for compatibility with most standard North American toilets, WASHLET bidet seats are straightforward to install and typically require no more effort than replacing an existing toilet seat. In many homes, installation can be completed in under an hour, allowing users to transition immediately to warm water cleansing.

Since its introduction, more than sixty million WASHLET bidet seats have been sold globally, marking a long term shift in how people approach everyday bathroom hygiene.
