Royal Flushh: The Japanese Solution to Public Toilet Anxiety

There are two types of people: those who have done the infamous ‘double flush’ to hide all sound while in a public toilet cubicle… and those who are lying.

Public toilets have long been a battleground of social anxiety. The fear of being overheard in the midst of nature’s call has haunted many, leading to desperate measures to mask noises – in most cases, the ‘double flush’.

However, this is not ideal from an environmental standpoint. On average, older style single flush toilets use roughly 13 litres of water per flush. Dual flush toilets use six litres for the full flush and three litres in the half flush. It takes no great mathematical prowess to guess that is indeed a lot of water going, quite literally, down the toilet to save us from embarrassment!

But what if we had a more environmentally friendly way to save face and water? Royal Flushh, a Japanese-designed Toilet Sound Masker (yes, you read that right!) transforms the bathroom experience by granting privacy. It’s the ultimate solution for the universal discomfort of using public toilets.

Founder Donna Burke, an Australian video game star and long-term resident of Tokyo, says, “I still recall the embarrassment as I tried to use the toilet stall in school as quietly as possible, so that I wouldn’t get gales of laughter from girls in other stalls. I’m sure you can agree, no one needs mockery while already at their most vulnerable!”

The Royal Flushh employs ambient forest and water noises to discreetly mask embarrassing sounds made in the toilet. Inspired by Japan’s ingenuity in the late 1980s during a severe drought, this device not only saves water but also preserves the user’s dignity. Easy to install in any bathroom setting, the battery-operated Royal Flushh is designed to suit a wide range of spaces, from en-suites to bustling offices and cafe toilets.

Donna says, “These devices save water, as well as saving our pride. I’ve even had one customer refer to it as a ‘marriage saver’!

“Japan solved their issues of bathroom anxiety and the water wastage that goes with this decades ago. It’s time for us to catch up.”
