Have you ever seen this button in a Japanese restroom? It makes a flushing sound, but it doesn't actually flush the toilet. So... what is it? 💡 It’s called “Otohime” — which means “Sound Princess” in Japanese 👸 Why does it exist? In Japan, some people (especially women) feel embarrassed about toilet noises. So instead of flushing the toilet multiple times just to cover the sound... they press this button to play a fake flush sound.
