STAND Urinal: Don’t Pee in the Sink

Many people practice clean bathroom habits, but just as many are pretty nasty. Enter Kaspars Jursons’s redesign of the toilet, where he puts a sink on top of the urinal. Relieve yourself and immediately clean up. It puts the cleaning part right in your face. If you still don’t wash your hands after using this you have real problems.

The toilet is called STAND. It’s a great idea, but it would never work. People would be peeing in those sinks just for fun – and how clean can you really get with people’s aim being so bad, since it is so close to the urinal.

It’s just a concept, but not a terrible one. It just depends on people being respectable and not taking a whiz in the wrong section.

Game of Thrones Toilet Paper Holder, Wiping is Coming

No matter which house you are a part of in Westeros – Lannister, Stark, Greyjoy, Targaryen… They all eventually have to poop. Forget fighting for the Iron Throne. It’s not even a comfortable seat. This Throne of Rolls on the other hand is worth battling over.

You will never run out of toilet paper sitting on this throne. Though it’s not too comfortable. After all, a king must never rest easy. This amusing toilet paper roll holder was made by Instructables member fjanse. He built it from toy swords, brush handles, a shield, and a base meant to hold toilet rolls.

When you play the Throne of Rolls, there is only sh*t or get off the pot.

Toilet Trike Runs on the Runs

Japanese toilet company Toto has a bike that runs on poop. If you want to save on fuel and produce your own fuel instead, this is the bike for you. The toilet you see there is just decorative, but the engine does run on poop.

poop bike
It’s called the Neo and it took three years of research, development and design. It is basically a 250cc trike, with a built-in toilet for a seat. However, I was just kidding about you contributing to the fuel supply, which is actually purified and compressed livestock waste. So it still runs on poop – just not yours.

The bio-gas that it uses comes from the Shika-oi, in Hokkaido where waste and household water are converted to methane gas via fermentation. The methane gas is then converted to bio-gas by purifying. The bio-gas is what ends up in the bike, so there’s no actual manure anywhere, but it’s a fun design that gets the word out about alternative energy.

The Candy You Drink Straight from the Toilet

You probably wouldn’t let your dog drink out of your toilet, but did you know that there are actually people out there who would eat out of a toilet?

Not out of a regular toilet, of course, but out of the Moko Moko Mokoletto. If you say it again and again fast enough, it’s almost like a tongue twister…

Bubbly Japanese Toilet Candy

Anyway, the Moko Moko is actually a toilet-themed candy from Japan, where most awesome, weird, and unusual things seem to orginate.

The pack comes with a plastic toilet and a pack of candy. The miniature toilet is first assembled, and then the flavored candy powder is added to the toilet’s tank with water in order to activate it. You, the candy eater, are then supposed to sip the bubbly candy concoction from the toilet. Yum.

The clip above was posted by RRcherrypie, who describes the experience on his blog (translated): “Idea of the product is great, taste is OK. Made of toilet put the water from the tank actually is good. Place in Bathroom own Dollhouse of (1/12 scale). Chloro to look at the toilet was clogged …. Head, I keep clean …!”

There are four different colors of miniature toilets to choose from. Moko Moko product information is available here.

Kohler’s $6,000 Numi Comfort Height toilet gets added connectivity, loftier bowl

Kohler's $6,000 Numi Comfort Height toilet gets added connectivity, loftier bow

We know what you’re thinking: The only thing missing from my ridiculously expensive, excessively tricked-out toilet is a USB port. Well it’s time you welcomed your posh posterior to the 21st century, because Kohler’s just released the second edition of its now $6,000 throne: the aptly named Numi Comfort Height. In addition to the aforementioned port, which will enable quicker software updates, the outfit has enhanced the commode with a Bluetooth receiver for streaming tunes to your tush; SD card reader for importing playlists and personalized welcome greetings; an accessible battery pack for flushing in the dark; and ambient lighting so you can keep the party going when it’s time to take care of business. If that wasn’t enough to elevate your toilet time, Kohler’s lifted the seat to a more comfortable 18 inches, which it says “makes sitting down and standing up easier for most adults.” So it still doesn’t come in gold and you can’t pay for it in Bitcoins, but those precious currencies have hit the skids anyway, right?

USB Toilet Speaker: Probably Sounds Like Crap

We’ve featured some strange stuff inspired by toilets in the past, but this is definitely one of the more unusual ones I’ve come across. As far as I can recall, this is the first speaker I’ve come across that looks like a toilet.

toilet speaker

This craptastic speaker plugs into your computer’s USB port for power, and the 3.5mm jack for sound. Now why on Earth you’d ever want this gadget is beyond me. I suppose if you’re a plumber, you might buy one, but that’s about it.

Thankfully, the USB toilet speaker is only available in Korea at present, so you don’t have to worry about one of your co-workers replacing your Bose with one of these while you’re out on vacation. Oh damn, you can buy them here.

Miniature Restroom for Action Figures: Everyone Poops

Action figures come with all sorts of props, but the Japanese hobby shop Amiami has one prop that you most certainly don’t have in your collection yet. It’s a 1:12 scale restroom. Why? Because your action figures haven’t gone since they were packed in their box. Think about that.

It comes with a toilet, a sink, a couple of urinals, a toilet paper holder, a trash can, a floor, walls and stickers. I don’t know what the stickers depict and I don’t want to know.

You can order the miniature restroom from Amiami for about $25 (USD). Then check your action figures for the action figure that holds its pose best, the proper stiff one. The constipation is strong in that one. Make him sit on the throne first.

Octopus Tentacle Plunger: If It’s Orange, Flush it Down!

I was going to say something about this thing sucking, but I figure we’ve used that line too many times before. But if you were to sit on the toilet and have this octopus tentacle reach up from the bowl, it wouldn’t exactly be a pleasant experience – unless you’re into that sort of thing, of course.

The hilariously warped Oktopus toilet plunger is one of the latest gadgets to come from the creative minds of Art Lebedev Studio. The curl at the end of its singular orange tentacle serves a practical purpose as a grip for all of your plunging needs. It’s made from plastic with a silicone suction cup at the end. No, the tentacle suckers don’t actually stick to anything, but it would be cool if they did.tentacle plunger 2

At this point the Oktopus is still a concept design, but I have little doubt that Lebedev and crew are working on a way to put it into production.

The only problem with this thing is that you don’t really need to leave it in your toilet all of the time. I suppose you could at least put it out for guests.

Remote-Controlled Japanese Toilet Shouldn’t Be Used For Waste

Remote-controlled helicopters may seem cool, but nowhere near as cool as a remote-controlled toilets, which, of course, is being made available in Japan, which we like to refer to as the country where the toilet reigns supreme.

We’ve seen toilets that connect to your smartphone, as well as a motorcycle whose seat was replaced with a toilet, but these remote-controlled toilets take the Japanese obsession a little too far. The “Remote Control Japanese Style Toilet” wasn’t created to replace your actual toilet when the urge to go comes and you’re to lazy to make a trip to the bathroom as this RC toilet is as big as a standard remote-control car. Instead, it was created, to quote the manufacturer, “Because, this is Japan. That’s why!”

If you feel the need to use the RC toilet to carry around items that wouldn’t be considered human waste, then it’s just the right size to transport drinks, snacks or maybe even a small Japanese toilet’s worth of macaroni and cheese. Just don’t go pooping in the thing.

Remote-Controlled Toilet: When You Gotta Go When You’re on the Go

Don’t you just hate it when you really need to go and there’s still someone in the bathroom? You wait five minutes… ten minutes… twenty minutes until you just give up and take a leak behind some bushes because you just can’t take it anymore. It’s more bearable for guys, but imagine when a girl has to do it. I know I wouldn’t want to.

So here’s a solution for those who find themselves with a full bladder at the most inopportune of times: the remote-controlled Japanese-style toilet.

RC Toilet

It’s basically a urinal-shaped toilet that you can wheel around using the remote.

RC Toilet2

The idea of peeing (or worse, pooping) into this is obviously not very appealing. Because while you might have already relieved yourself, you’ll be relieving no one when you walk past them with this loaded toilet beside you.

It’s more of a novelty, though, where you’re supposed to use the space in the urinal to transport items like soda cans, water bottles, phones, and whatever else you’re too lazy to hand over to your friend across the room.

If you really must have the remote-controlled toilet, you can grab it over at Strapya World for about $16(USD).
