“Current toilet seats provide a horizontal seating surface,” StandardToilet’s website states. “This enables a user to sit relatively comfortably on the toilet.”

And apparently that’s a problem. Sloping forward at an angle of 13 degrees, StandardToilet’s product is designed to make it uncomfortable to spend longer than about five minutes on it without experiencing leg strain, Mahabir Gill, founder of StandardToilet, told Wired UK in an article published Monday.


“Thirteen degrees is not too inconvenient, but you’d soon want to get off the seat quite quickly,” Gil told the magazine. The magazine reported that Gil is in talks with several local councils and service stations to use his product.

4. Bring it!

Check and mate. Plus when you want to take a nap (or pass out), you rest your head on the tank.
