Kneeling Bench Keeps Toilet Splashes (and Pride) to a Minimum

Anyone who actually gets this thing is clearly whipped beyond all hope. What's next--a tube that attaches directly to you and funnels the urine neatly into the toilet bowl? Actually, they probably already have that somewhere. Stand up for your dignity!

There is far more spray that occurs during the flush. I suggest that if someone puts these in place in your abode or theirs, that you promptly wee in the sink instead. After all it is more like a urinal.

just SIT. no point in wasting $60 or $50. wow.

...men should stand up for their right to piss all over the floor?

Better, men should learn to pee straight.

I'm a man, and I realise this article is in jest. But it is a real problem (men peeing on the floor), and I think a man who continually makes a mess of the bathroom doesn't deserve his masculinity.

Maybe men should clean up their own piss

Women also say men should pee sitting down, but I find I cannot empty my bladder properly unless I stand.

BTW: many men do clear up their own mistakes. I

If my wife bought one of these, the first thing I'd do was pee on it in protest.

Don't know if you meant that as a pun when you said "stand up for your dignity" emphasis on stand up

I have been kneeling to pee for years because I was tired of spraying piss all over the commode. I kneel on my right knee and hang it over the edge. No big deal and you don't need to buy a stupid little stool.

It's fine to stand and pee as long as you clean the walls and floor on a regular basis. Toilets are just not made for standing and peeing.

the elderly will love this they have enough trouble sitting down let alone trying to stand after being on their knee's

LOL< you have to admit that is pretty funny.

My heart goes out to the Japanese male. You might as well make them sit down and pee, being able to stand and go to the bathroom is one of the great things about being a man. You will never take that away from us!

Why not just pee sitting down? That's what I always do. Much more convenient, and screw anyone who says anything about masculinity.

They're not talking about bad aim here, they're talking about the stream of urine splashing against the water when it enters the bowl and that is what gets on the floor. I've noticed it before when wearing shorts... it kind of sucks, but then again the drops are so small anyhow that I don't really get bent out of shape about it.

However, I do agree with you that some guys need to work on their aim a bit. Men's room toilets and urinals are sometimes enough to give a guy nightmares.

Dude, 120 Kilos is insane...12 maybe?

Lol. I can't imagine people chatting about this. God bless america & japan ^^ Here in France we know how to deal with this : we chose adapted bowls shapes and we piss straight to avoid any trouble FOR US (and not to please our women whom views we don't care about this particular gender difference : It's absurd like if a man would complain about troubles a woman creates when blocking up the water collecting system with her lost long hairs. Who cares ? It's their life ! They have long hairs, we have penis(not related, though) ! And complaining is an absolute preferred female behavior.

(sry for poor vocabulary)

Screw this. I saw we invent taller toilets with steps on the side that our women must climb to mount.... just tall enough for us to "reduce our spillage"...... If it's such a problem then rethink the toilet.... don't bring a man to his knees.... and shoot..... since they love to talk about exercising a little climbing won't hurt....

They aren't that far from the bowl to start with...

Just get a taller toilet

Clean up after yourself and there won't be a problem.

But to be fair, public women's bathrooms are more horrible than the men's room will ever be. I am a woman who has had the pleasure (er, if you can call it that) of performing janitorial duties in the past and I will never be able to understand how someone who sits on the can to begin with can still manage to get 90% of their urine on the seat. It's disgusting.

Oh, and I also hate mothers who let their toddler sons (or daughters) pee on the seat and then leave it there. Clean up after your damned offspring!

You would then be spending a nice, long time cleaning it up. :)

Freaken tired of his piss all over. Disgusting. Keep freaken telling him to freaken be careful, sit and clean after himself. He doesn't. So gross! It's not demeaning, you clean up after disgusting piss and then talk to me about. I will freaken find it and he better freaken use it.

If you don't want to use the contraption then don't freaken leave pee splatter all over the floor and bowl. And CLEAN after yourself!!!!!

Your bladder will actually be compressed and empty more fully if you sit.

I have lived with my fiancee for 3 years now and he has never had a problem with urine.
Now every once in a while one of his friends will use the bathroom and afterward my bathroom looks like he took a sprinkler to it.

so i am going to take a stab in the dark and guess that it has everything to do with the mans aim and how considerate he is. (then again my fiancee and i take turns cleaning everything including the bathroom.

or maybe it has something to do with the amount of teeth being scraped during a blowjob... i will have to talk to my friends girlfriends...

Sitting down while peeing is what makes women live longer than men. ;-)

Ummm. . . Traditionally Japanese do not use western- style toilets. They usually squat over a small basin on the floor. I don't see a use for this product in most Japanese homes.

You obviously haven't been to Japan lately - the "squat toilet" to which you prefer is a rarity in Japanese metropolitan areas. It may be "traditional" but so is the outhouse, doesn't mean either are the norm these days. Besides, why would a Japanese company invent this thing if it wasn't practical for use in most Japanese homes?

Isn't the "splash factor" the reason men wear socks. I know I just use my foot to make a clean sweap around the bowl at my house.

I actually have to stand on a stool when I pee standing up. Otherwise, my willie hangs in the water and gets wet.

To Nor Right.

hah. you seriously need to get out of your own 3rd world country of america and visit Japan.. they are renown for their hygiene.. especially when it comes to toilets. they have robotic toilets that shoot water at your backside when your all done. no toilet paper required.

however, this contraption of kneeling down to piss is ridiculous.. I might consider this when women decide that its far more disgusting to throw away used tampons in the garbage.. perhaps creating a biohazard femme garbage that incinerates immediately in order to prevent bleeding genital left overs from infecting the masses.

HMm these would also be good to put your feet up when your are pooping

I would not make any assumptions that this artical is a joke. The people in Japan, can create some horrible horrible things, and honestly use them.

Need I remind everyone of the Vending machines with user under-garments? I rest my case.

As a plumber who takes clogged toilet calls on a regular basis, let me tell you that flushing tampons (or as we like to call them, Little white mice) down the toilet is NOT the solution. It's a pretty good way to clog your drains and make a plumber angry, however. use the garbage, seriously!

sounds very sanitary. anyone who thinks a man is not a man for using this is a dirtbag and doesn't see that splashing urine back on to yourself is filthy mcnasty.

Fantastic!

You don't splash if you just aim in the bowl where the is no water (that area between the lip of the bowl and the where the water starts). Duh. That solves the problem of sitting or standing and being clean and then you don't have to waste your money buying one of these things

I pee standing up during the day, clean up with toilet paper if I do miss or drip and sit down at night because I do not want to wake anyone with the light. Problem solved!

Umm, are people really basing their dignity on the position they're in to pee?

Seriously, what's with the "I proudly pee standing up!" comments? Is this kindergarten? At the same time, sitting or kneeling to pee is just asinine. Admitedly, my partaking in this conversation is equally so, but when in Rome...

As a side note, every civilized man knows to seek the great outdoors when doing the deed. Nothing like some cold wind on the wang!

My penis is so tiny that I have to kneel otherwise I pee on my fingers.

Good comments on both sides of the argument. Yes; piss splashes all over the place while you're standing. I had to replace a baseboard heater that had all but rusted away for just that reason. Yes; it's cleaner to just sit and piss, but some guys just won't do it. As for your aim, it makes no difference. My bog faces south, so on a sunny day its obvious that no matter how hard you try, you see the droplets going all over the place.

Seriously, the Japanese can make anything appear cute! I mean, it's difficult to make something like this cute, but they managed to do it! Impressive!

Masculinity is based on peeing standing up? I didn't realize it was so easy to demasculate. Silly me, thinking a man was a man because he's a man, and not because he pees standing up.

Wouldn't it be better to just raise the toilet to a more reasonable height?

And yet no woman likes the man to leave the seat up which would alleviate some of the problem.

Fuck the japs. I bought my toilet, and if I want to piss in it, on it, around it, or over it, I'm going to.

The pussification of America has apparently spread around the world.
Anyone that sits to piss is either a woman or a homo.

A woman that tries to prove how much of a man she is is not very much of a woman, if any at all.

This invention wouldn't even exist if men would learn to clean up their own damn piss. Your wife/girlfriend is not supposed to be your second mommy!

why can't the girls just clean up our piss and quit whining. Take away their dishwashers and washing machines and this starts looking like an easy job.

"they actually COUNTED the droplets..."
Umm, actually, no they didn't. Panasonic did. Have another read of that Japan Times article you linked that text to.
also, it seems your attribution should read (via Japan Times, c/o Tokyo Times, c/o Degenerasian). TT got the story from JT - that's why they linked it to JT...
