Well it could be used for your crotch if you are tall enough, or you have a weirdly high crotch with a weirdly short torso. Either way, it's a sweet-looking fixture with a lot of options. [Hansa via Trendir]

The tub also features touch controls and a motion-activated hand shower. Unfortunately, it's only a concept—but the design was good enough to become a Red Dot 2009 award winner. [Red Dot via Born Rich via Unplgged via DVICE]

In addition to the fish tank base, Hydroco's Hydroglass unit can feature a 7-head rainbar, heated aquabed, warm water mattress and other accessories when fully decked out. It's going to start a revolution of laziness in the bathroom. That's right—sooner or later we will be able to poop lying down. What a day that will be. [Hydroco via Born Rich via DVICE]

The way I see it you have four options: sit directly on the unsanitary toilet, wallpaper the seat with TP squares, use one of those flimsy paper covers, or squat and hover. If you prefer the latter option, but you lack the thigh strength to maintain elevated above the bowl for the duration, this toilet can help.

You see, the user takes a motorcycle-esque stance over the bowl, with their knees inserted into padded grooves to support weight comfortably. Of course, I'm not sure that this concept completely addresses the other major problem with the squat and hover method—(ahem) "discharge containment." The bowl would probably have to be really wide. Yeah, public restrooms are nasty enough already. [The Design Blog]

My approach to design can sometimes appear shockingly radical but I have got different reasons to legitimize that. An alarm clock is not what we can call a pleasurable object. It is often even painful to be awoken by it. However it is a necessary object, which regulates our lives and the society. That's what I call the "design for pain and for our own good". Some of my designs seem to constrain people, acting like an alarm clock, awaking people to the consciousness of their behavior and giving them limits. People often need an external signal to behave more. In France the government added thousands of new radars on the roads to fight excessive speed. And it worked: there are far less people killed on the roads of France today. I call it "design of threat and punishment" and I use it as an educational tool.

Yeah, she's not fooling around here. If you don't wrap things up in a timely fashion the curtain will inflate until you are a naked, shivering prisoner in your own shower. By the looks of things, if you aren't careful the damn thing could completely cut off your air supply. Personally, I would rather go with the Eco-Drop Shower—the philosophy is the same but it's far less deadly. [MoCo Loco via DVICE]

The aroma is described as a natural "Swiss essence with notes of wooded silver fir, alpine herbs, absinthe." It actually sounds fairly appealing, although I would have expected "leather jacket, pocket knife and mullet" to be among those notes. The "scent of adventure" is available now for around $55.

Did you just participate in a chili dog eating contest? Worry not, because the Neorest now whips up a tornado flush that can tackle anything that might stick to the inside of the bowl. It also has a special CeFiONtect glazing to prevent stains in the first place. I, for one, can't wait until Toto-esque toilet tech is more widely used in the US. [Neorest LE and Neorest SE via Trendir via DVICE]

Mmm hmm...yeah, tell me how that works out ladies. It costs $20, but if you have the guts to try this out you could probably hit up the hardware store for a cheaper solution. [Skymall via RGS]

*Sniff* ahh...nothing is more invigorating than an iPhone fresh scent—which, incidentally, smells like Mojito and Tropical Mango. And nothing lathers quite as well on my delicate skin like buttery Apple engineering. Experience it now for $8. [Etsy via Geeky Gadgets]

So naturally, I'm drawn to this $12 Xbox 360 soap spotted on Etsy. Even more detailed than the NES/PS2 game controller soaps we've seen in the past, you could totally hand this bar to player two without them knowing the difference...until their hands became baby-soft and began to smell like freshly cut flowers and spring rain. [Etsy]

This soap from a Taiwan retailer is for people who can't bear to leave their computer peripherals behind... even in the shower. It's only $5.75 to alert all your roommates to your creepy mouse infatuation. [Zakka]

All you need to do is breathe into the device and the analysis will return as one of five outcomes: Kiss me, Possible, Maybe, Risky, and Never. Fortunately, my girlfriend doesn't mind beer on the breath—so I am always good to go. Available for $30. [Urban Outfitters via GeekSugar]

The device works like a two headed dentist's mirror. Place one end over your ear and adjust the other mirror until you can see whether or not you need to bust out the Q-tips or the trimming scissors. It may also be helpful for those who are prone to ear infections. Anyway you cut it, it won't be pretty. [Home Trends via Book of Joe via DVICE]

Unlike the Teledyne Waterpik of old, the manufacturer of the Dental Air Force throws more than just a stream of water at your grimy teeth and gums—it also uses air pressure and their own proprietary cleaning solution to "break through the plaque barrier." Unfortunately, laying a beat down on Count Plaqula won't come cheap. The unit is priced at $240 and refills run about .30-.35 cents per dose. [Dental Air Force via DVICE]
