On July 4, Yuki Kashiwagi had a joint video with Sky Peace on her YouTube channel, “Yukirin World.”
In the video, Yuki told a story about her use of washlets, the famous Japanese toilet that rinses the user’s nether regions after use. She said that all her life she always heard that they were bad for the butt. However, earlier this year she started using it, and now she can’t live without it. But there is a downside…
“I ended up going to the hospital because I overused the washlet.”
