This *sounds* a bit like something you might not want to hear but these toilets are a godsend for those of you who get a mild case of constipation every once in a while. (don't we all?... anyways) Many models of toilets in japan have heated seats, water temperature adjusters, water pressure adjusters (the best part), a blowdryer for your tush, a built in bidet function, and of course an position adjuster for the washlet water spring head. If you ever have a case of constipation, the nozzle's pressure is just turned up and placed at the right angle and SHooom! out goes all of that pushing nonsense. Just shoots the poop right out from your butt. Personally, I wish I had one here in the States. No more of that bowel straining for me.
