Blooming Bidet, Because You Deserve a Remote-Control Toilet

We know all the toilets in Japan that have built-in bidets, but how many come with remotes? With Blooming Bidet, you activate all the functions of the toilet, even adjust the intensity of water spray or hot air aimed at your posterior, from the handset. Note the big STOP button, in case things get out of hand. And it's no accident you don't see any FLUSH button—flushing happens automatically. (The downside there is that you'd have to trick it into a mercy flush.) More »

Brondell Breeza Anti-Stench Toilet Seat Wafts Those Stinky Sins Away

It's toilet gadget time again, and here's the Brondell Breeza, a deodorizing toilet seat that's available in two different models. The Basic Breeza is battery operated and just keeps that stench down to a manageable level, while the Breeza Warm (pictured above) plugs into the wall and actually has a heated seat (which I can tell you from personal experience is well worth the trouble and expense). Both have that delightful gentle closing seat and lid that can help you at least keep some of those obnoxious bathroom noises to a minimum. More »

Cellphone Bacteria Warning: Not for the Squeamish

Okay, now that you're done with lunch it's time to gross you out. A UK newspaper reminds us that cellphones are just downright disgusting, and are even dirtier than toilets. That's because they're exposed to much more bodily bacteria than any toilet seat. A combination of being near your mouth with all that spit and stuff, and those cellphone electronics keeping the bacteria warm all day turns that handset into a teeming metropolis of creepy-crawley microbes, including such delectables as Staphylococcus aureus, the bacteria responsible for pimples, boils, pneumonia and meningitis.

OK, all you weekenders, get your minds out of the gutter and into the toilet, because here's all the latest potty news. First of all, there's a new toilet seat by Aspidor that uses an induction fan with a charcoal filter to take away that, uh, aroma that finds itself wafting away from the water closet. The thing reacts to body warmth, turning on its little fan when you sit on it. And, you don't even have to plug it in, because it has a rechargeable battery. It's $349. More »
