Launched in 1980, WASHLET began a revolution. It was a concept so innovative and so intelligently designed that it reinvented the way people perform the most vital daily ritual of the day. WASHLET introduced the custom of cleansing washing to a world that had long relied on the less sanitary and far less comfortable method of wiping with toilet paper. Beyond the hygiene, this life-changing product brings a sense of harmony and wellness to daily life. By 2019, over 50 million units had been sold. In 2017, WASHLET was ranked the No. 1 spray seat brand in the world. Today, with focus on wellness, TOTO continues to develop advanced new technologies for WASHLET.
