5 Interesting Facts about Japanese Hygiene

1. Stick deodorant is not available. Spray deodorant exists, but it's not commonly used.

2.Companies hire people to hand out small packages of tissues to pedestrians. But, get this, using tissues in public is considered rude.

3.People carry around a small towel to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.

4.Before taking a bath they must shower first. Members of a household use the same bath water.

5.Most toilets in japan have a built-in bidet system, called Wash-lets, for spraying water on your tush. These are the norms in houses and nicer restrooms. In some public bathrooms you may still find a traditional Japanese "floor toilet" where you will need to squat. Oy.
