About 25 years ago the makers of plumbing fixtures tried to introduce
them here with little success. Most homes I've visited in Europe have
them but I've never seen one in the US or Canada.

They made more sense years ago when toilet paper and sanitary napkins
were not so readily available. Bathing/showering was less frequent also.
