A farewell to manhood: Pee Without Noise Stool
published in: Crazy Products, Only in Japan
Sometimes I really wonder what’s going on in my country. Depending on who you listen to, somewhere between a third to a half of Japanese men now admit to siting down to do their Number One.
The main reason for this increasing trend is because Japanese men are told by their mothers, their wives and often their daughters not to leave a mess or make horrible noise in the bathroom. The status of men within the family is at all time low and women are no longer putting up with the messy habit of their counterpart.
However, the situation is not as simple as it seems. Sitting down to go about your business is kind of, well, embarassing for a man, but you also run a risk of splashing the rim, thus creating even more mess.
Enter the Pee Without Noise stool to your rescue!
As a result of extensive researches with a help from a teapot and a soup bowl, a manufacturer in Japan has come up with this masculinity-protection-device.
A proud Japanese man now can kneel on its soft cushions, positions him at exactly the right height to aim his stream at the bowl at a much reduced velocity and volume level. This simple, elegant tool could save him dignity and his relationship.
Incredible as it may, this isn’t an April Fool’s day joke. Here’s the link to the shop who actually sells this stuff. Check it out yourself.

Isn’t going to the toilet a private business? I think the question is not being told how to do it, but how comfortable and suitable it is. The one important aspect is that after finishing “the business”, make sure the toilet is clean.
Anyway, this article opens my mind to Japanese culture and it’s presented nicely and a little humorous too.
Thanks for it.
Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn’t mean the circus has left town.

This is why I always pee in the sink. Look at me, farther ahead of the curve than Japan.
