This video walks through 7 everyday hygiene items Japan quietly avoids, and in every case modern research turns out to be on Japan's side. Almost all of them trace back to one fact — a Japanese bathroom is three separate rooms, while the American bathroom puts the toilet, the shower and your toothbrush behind a single door. You will see the antibacterial soap the FDA pulled from the market for failing to prove it beat plain soap, and the loofah a 1994 study found does not just carry bacteria but grows them. Then the soft bath mat that has not been completely dry since the day you bought it, and the towel folded over a rail so that air can only reach one side of it. Number five is the hardest one to accept — the cotton swab removing something that was never dirt, and that ear specialists in both countries now tell you to stop using. Number six is the alcohol mouthwash, and the tongue bacteria it kills are part of how your body regulates its own blood pressure. Number seven changes what the word clean means, because it is the only item where Japan did not remove something — it replaced dry paper and chemically preserved wipes with water. Every item comes with the Japanese alternative that replaced it, from the arai-tai washing cloth and the keisou-do drying mat to ugai gargling and the washlet, plus the Japanese dry-line test that takes under five minutes and tells you exactly what to remove first tonight.
