The Incredible 2-in-1 Loo! Perfect for Men and Women

060509_rg_ultimate_toilet_01.jpgWe can't remember the amount of times that we've heard people complain about the fact that the seat of the toilet was up and "someone" didn't put it down. It's almost always men who do this since they can use the toilet standing up. Instead of getting riled at your partner for doing this continually, why don't you just get this fabulous transforming toilet?

 
 

060509_rg_ultimate_toilet_02.jpgThis Ultimate Clean Toilet was designed by Young Sang Eun and it's intended for public bathrooms. We can't see why this can't be used in any home though. At first glance, this doesn't really look like a toilet. Initially, it looks like a fancy urinal, like something that you'd see at a fancy club. This toilet actually turns around. On one side, you have a urinal and at the flick of a button, it swishes around and becomes a sit-down toilet. It uses steam and UV lights to clean itself as well. Hopefully when this is available, both men and women will enjoy using it. We have to say that it looks pretty cool. It's a fact that toilets haven't really changed since they've been invented. Sure, we moved from a hole in the ground to toilets, but since toilets have existed, there haven't been many improvements on them.

Sure, it won't clean itself completely, but at least it will get rid of some grime. Second, the fact that you just push a button and it changes shapes just makes it really cool in our eyes. Another one of those transforming pieces of furniture, thanks to modern technology. [via Yanko Design, images by Young Sang Eun]

It's an ingenious idea, but wouldn't it be easier to teach every one to close the toilet by putting down the LID (or cover) after it has been used---men and women both. It's very simple: open toilet, close toilet.

It looks like EVA from Wall-E.

Not so sure I'd want to use this. Reminds me of sitting directly on the bowl with no toilet seat... Kind of grosses me out.

Cool design...but not for me. I don't like sharing bathroom toilets with the opposite sex or anyone else, if I don't have to. And unisex public bathrooms? Fuggehdaboudit.

PS -- One of the secrets to a long and happy relationship is is separate bathrooms for each partner or spouse or significant other...or kids, for that matter.

Hubs and I wouldn't have it any other way.

It still comes down to men being able to use it in both forms and women having to do something to get the toilet into a usable state (the button and turning in this case). It jsut changes the argument from, "why can't you put the seat down?" to "why can't you turn the toilet back around?"
