We all have to poop, but how we deal with it changes with age. For babies, it’s diapers. For the elderly, it’s, well, adult diapers. And, for most of the rest of us, it’s toilet paper.

Even though digital cameras provide us the same instant gratification after snapping a photo, Polaroid’s instant snapper still has a cult following. Of course, that also means that instant film is more expensive than ever, so if you’re just a fan of the Polaroid camera’s iconic design, this Pola Roll toilet paper holder is a cheaper way to keep one around for posterity.

A Brilliant Toilet Paper Dispenser To Leave Crapping Campers Clean and Hassle-Free
Posted in: Today's Chili
Camping purists may prefer to eschew traditional toilet paper in favor of nature’s very own brand of sticks and leaves, but to the untrained eye, becoming one with Mother Earth might might leave a lasting, painful reminder on those tender, poison-ivy-scrubbed nether regions. So for those of us who aren’t quite ready to give up all the comforts of home, students at the Alberta College of Art and Design have put together this clever, waterproof toilet paper dispenser to make outdoor defecating a delight.

Why hide your toilet paper stock in a cabinet that guests will just have to hunt through when they run out? This stylish laquered steel tree can be mounted to the wall near your loo where it will store up to 14 extra rolls in plain sight, without looking like an eyesore. More »

We all use our smartphones and tablets in the bathroom, but there’s an unwritten rule that you do it discreetly, and don’t really brag about touching your device while touching your… well, you get the idea. So while on one hand it’s easy to be disgusted by CTA Digital’s toilet paper/iPad stand, on the other we’re probably all quietly reaching for our credit cards. More »

I am in awe of the sheer genius and laziness of this Batman mod. By giving a large Batman figure a single rod to hold in his hands, Batman is transformed from Guardian of Gotham to Master Presenter of T.P.
Sure, it might have been more appropriate if this were the butler, Alfred, preferably the Michael Caine version that speaks with a British accent, but this is way funnier. It has to be the Dark Knight toilet paper holder. Because Alfred is the hero with the soft stuff your butt deserves, but not the one it needs right now.
This 31″ tall custom dark knight toilet paper holder was made by conrick, who sits on his throne in silence, looking over his creation.

Seinfeld excelled at criticism of the everyday. A few months ago, in a fine essay in the NY Times, Sam Anderson suggested that Roland Barthes was the father of pop cultural criticism and that we are all now cultural critics in the Barthian vein, “decoding everything.” Perhaps. But if Barthes gave us serious criticism of popular culture, Seinfeld taught us to be ironic critics of the utterly mundane. Case in point: toilet paper. More »

If your family eats a lot of fiber, you too can have a rebel fleet with a complete armada of X-Wing fighters made out of toilet paper tubes. This squadron’s company motto is “Wipe your butt, then wipe out the Empire.” “Do your duty for the fleet.” Okay, enough bathroom humor.
This is a cool project to turn your discarded toilet paper tubes into something useful and geeky. I didn’t come across any instructions, but if you just look at the images at homemademagic you can see how easy it is to create your own X-Wing. In addition to the T.P. rolls, you’ll probably need some paper towel tubes, cardboard and tape as well.
The X-Wing pilot shirt is of course required if you are going to be flying these things in both hands and making X-Wing noises. Even though many of us will look like Jek Porkins doing it. Okay guys, start using up more T.P. and make yourself a rebel fighter now!

Sometimes it’s mind-boggling how companies are able to come up with solutions to problems that seem pretty trivial at first glance. A perfect example is the Camitool, an automatic toilet paper dispenser which was probably developed in response to all the complaints that germophobes unleashed against having to use toilet paper that (ick) others have already touched.
We’ve already got automatic faucets, automatic soap dispensers, and automatic hand dryers in public restrooms. So why not automate one more thing so that people will virtually not have to lay their hands on anything at all?
On a serious note, it actually does help people with rheumatism grab toilet paper without the pain or the hassle. And the less hands that touch it, the cleaner.
Users can program just how many inches of toilet paper to dispense before having Camitool automatically cut it. Several Japanese hospitals already have the Camitool installed, but it might take a while before we see this hit public restrooms on a massive scale, no thanks to its 60,000 yen (~$765 USD) price tag.
