The Kneeler is a short, padded stool with a half-circle cut
out
of one side to make it fit neatly against the toilet. The idea
came to me when I found myself once again complaining to
my
6'5" roommate that he splashes too much when he pees. As I
unsuccessfully tried to convince him that he
should sit
down
to urinate, I realized that the solution was simply to make
him
shorter without putting him in that "demeaning" seated
position.
In addition to making tall men shorter and less splash-prone,
the Kneeler can:
- make for more comfortable vomiting after a hard night (or
morning) of drinking
- give the lazy, drunk or extremely tired man a way to rest
while urinating
- position men for more accurate urination when depth
perception is poor, or when they've had too much to drink
The Kneeler would be height-adjustable, of course. Plus, if
you're concerned about splashing or dripping on the
Kneeler, tear-away paper sheets could be designed (similar
to
the toilet seat cover) to enhance cleanliness and ease of
use.

If you use bleach on your toilet the surface will become rough, this is causing the splattering. sorry to say: replacement is the best solution. The idea is good since toilets are virtually unchanged for the past 1000 year. |
|
| |
why cannot the height of the loo be adjustable? some crank handle on the side should do it. |

"you've left the toilet *up* again - you know how much that annoys me" |

Despite being 6'5" and something of a urinary crack shot, I can see that there may be a need for this especially in households were alcohol is a central part of domestic life. That said, kneeling might be just as demeaning as sitting. Perhaps you need a 'throne' on a thick plinth with steps up for the height-impaired. |

Welcome to the halfbakery, enjoy your stay. |
|

the Throne is a great idea...hmmm...problem is, i'm trying
to make my life simpler, and the throne could be difficult
to navigate when sleepy or intoxicated. it is very regal,
though...and there could be a scepter and crown to go
along with it!! |
|
| |
All sizes can use it if few steps get added to the throne, and it can flush when you get of it. |
|
| |
You mean menfolk around your place don't use the sink? |
|
| |
no, but actually one of my cats does. he only pees in
there, thank god. i caught him the first time a couple of
years ago - looking very guilty, i must say. just too lazy to
walk downstairs, i guess. can't blame him... |
|
| |
The Kneeler is a good idea. It could also be applied out of the bathroom in the garden, or when hooking up cords to electronics and the power plug is low on the wall, or whenever ya don't wanna get down all the way. |

Has anyone ever heard of a urinal that people could snap onto their existing toilet (or sink, however the user prefers...), and then remove when situations require... clean it off in the bathtub, flush with sink water? (Men and their fixations.) |
|
| |
edit: since I can't find this idea with a cursory look around, I'm posting it. Heh heh. |
|
| |
Croissant! I can see this working well for the drunk. |
|
| |
You know, I had a friend who taught her cat to use the
toilet. It worked for years... until one night grandma
went to use the toilet in the dark and the cat was already
there... and got knocked into the toilet. After that the
cat went back to the litter box. |
|
| |
tut, grannies - no patience. she should have used the litter tray. |

Am I the only person who thought this had something to do with oral sex? |
