A Queen’s Porcelain Throne
In Japan, stepping into a female restroom is like entering a sanctuary of secrecy and comfort. These thrones are more than just functional spaces; they’re technological marvels where privacy is paramount and are facilitated by sound-masking devices that serenade users with gentle background noise, ensuring the bathroom symphony remains a solo act.
Some restrooms even offer a special button that plays running water sounds for added discretion. But here’s the real kicker—the menstruation dialogue!

Talk about pampered, unforgettable experiences!
