[QUOTE="ConorS, post: 3097729, member: 174317"] What a waste of loo roll/water. Just do a poo for goodness sake. Nobody cares about your toilet noises, people :p: EDIT: [expand=From wiki]The Sound Princess An Otohime in a women's room: The black square is the motion sensor for starting and stopping the sound Many Japanese women are embarrassed at the thought of being heard by others during urination[41] (see paruresis).
