May 19 2009Closer To The Action: Kneeling Pee Bench

The Tenshi no Hizamakura (Angels Knee Pillow) is a little bench designed to get men lower to the action and help prevent urine misplacement. No word if it actually comes with the flying pee genie in the picture, but that would pretty awesome if it did (and also a bargain at $60).
...according to the manufacturer, House Doctor, urinating into the toilet from a certain height results in hundreds of droplets of spray & splash being ejected from the bowl - yes, they actually COUNTED the droplets - and in Japanese households it's the wife who gets to perform the toilet cleaning services.
Ha, maybe America and Japan aren't so different after all. Get it? Because the women do the cleaning here too! Isn't that right, honey? Honey? HONEY?! Shit. Note to self: rerun singles ad. Bigger penis this time.
Hit the jump for a couple more shots of the questionableness that I'll never need because I always sit down.


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

@3 those slippers are regular in japan, they're used in places where you can't wear shoes inside
6. Clamdigger - May 19, 2009 5:24 PM
I have never seen a urinal that low. Drawing must have been by a woman,who was shown the midgets bathroom. I hope she ate the mint.
7. STOMPY - May 19, 2009 5:26 PM

9. naas - May 19, 2009 5:34 PM

10. Milkman - May 19, 2009 5:44 PM

The best part about the whole thing is the GW's title. It made me warm and fuzzy in my pants.

13. Clamdigger - May 19, 2009 5:52 PM
@8 now that is the spirit girl ......I like the bathroom clean
14. Taylored - May 19, 2009 5:55 PM
Women are lucky that we let them use our toilets to begin with. Women are to clean up our piss in lue of payment for use of our toilets.
15. Quik - May 19, 2009 5:57 PM
You think this toilet is low? You should see some of the public "squatter" toilets. Literally little porcelain holes in the ground. If you're going deuces you just have to hover like you're doing some kinda kung fu horse stance.
Actually, this was the first kind of toilet I saw upon arriving in Japan. It was in the train station. I thought, "I hope they're not all like this," and they weren't.
16. Quik - May 19, 2009 6:03 PM
Oh, and more on Japanese toilets: The one's in the home are like the Cadillacs of toilets. They have a little control panel and everything.
The seats are heated.
There's a built in bidet (spelling?).
The knob goes both ways (ladies??) up for number one or down for number two.
Plus, in the interest of being green there is a little sink on the tank, so you can use the water to wash your hands while simultaneously filling the tank for the next flush.
BRILLIANT!
17. naas - May 19, 2009 6:08 PM
^ absolutely true. They also have motion sensors that raise the lid when you stand in front of them & flush automatically when you walk away
18. uchar8 - May 19, 2009 6:11 PM
@12: look up "Everybody Poops" on Amazon. Lovely book.
19. JJtoob - May 19, 2009 6:29 PM
Japan trusts their tech too much. When the robotic death army attacks, it will all start with the toilet, it will bite you in the behind and squirt the water with high pressure.
So anyway, I'm 6'3, but I know I got a lot of choices: sink, sit down, neighbor's backyard, lemonade stand. And recently, the golf club thing, only need to make the bottom twist-open for when I am at the toilet, like an extender.
20. Boost - May 19, 2009 6:33 PM
Why don't we just make the toilets higher?
Or invent self-cleaning toilets, bathrooms even.
21. DoubleP90 - May 19, 2009 6:37 PM
they should do a portable version too, you can take it with you when you go to visit yuor friends, you go to the toilet and some minutes later you call your friend to amaze them that you didn't pee all around, they'll be amazed for sure isn't it geekologie writer?
fortunatelly i don't need it because i have to use a ladder otherwise i flush it down (and im scared about the monster coming out and eating my penis
22. Double O'Awesome - May 19, 2009 7:10 PM
Japan: makers of 78% of the world's weird shit since 1920.
23. Clamdigger - May 19, 2009 7:13 PM

24. Tennist0 - May 19, 2009 7:15 PM
@20- there is a self cleaning bathroom in New York City...i'm gonna use it when i visit this summer!

26. Boost - May 19, 2009 8:48 PM
@20 That's pretty cool.
I kind of imagine it like a shower, but with a toilet.
When you're done, it just sprays everything down and it all goes through a drain at the bottom.
That's probably not how it is, but that's how I imagine it.

Must just be a short penis thing - not much of an issue here.
30. haha - May 19, 2009 10:16 PM
ahahahahaha the name kills me "Angels Knee Pillow". That creates some nice imagry. Kneel on ol' arch angel Michael's bent knee and piss. Is there a smaller portable version of this that you can bring to public bathrooms??
31. Daisy - May 19, 2009 10:29 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where Max and Baja got attacked by ROUS in the fire swamp.
32. alphabet - May 19, 2009 10:42 PM
is it conceivable that the unit is not actually designed for urinating, but maybe some other, um, activity...?
33. Boost - May 19, 2009 11:05 PM
So I just took a piss.
I can conclude that the urine pressure along with the backsplash factor make this product a HORRIBLE idea.
Just make the walls on the toilet higher, or the water lower.
34. Iroc - May 20, 2009 12:45 AM
Oh great, now not only does my 50 yr old knees need a second person to get me up from the toilet, but my Dick is gonna be going for a swim....no thanks.

if you sit down to piss then there's no need to wash your hands!!!

40. Jaded Icon - May 20, 2009 7:00 AM
I can't belive it! One of the cool things about being a guy is that you can pee standing up. We take pride in it! The only time I am ever going to kneel in front of a toilet is when I have had WAY to much to drink. That is the only time I pray to the porcelain god.
41. Douchie McBagman - May 20, 2009 8:30 AM
Here I kneel broken harted
came to piss and only farted.
42. catch22 - May 20, 2009 9:34 AM
so you basically have 2 sponges to "urine-soak" your knees
43. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - May 20, 2009 9:44 AM
I pee in the sink. Keeps the dishes clean!
44. STOMPY - May 20, 2009 10:02 AM
i'm a dbag so I'd probably pee on the pads just to eff with the next dude to come in and kneal to the porcilian throne...
45. Anon - May 20, 2009 10:12 AM
If women didn't have such short legs they could make the toilet higher so it would be a problem.
Maybe they could make a step for women to use and raise the toilet to a more comfortable level for when we have to sit down.

I had a comment, but after reading the retardedness here I forgot it.
47. someone - May 20, 2009 11:20 AM
Isn't the urine supposed to be yellow?
48. someone - May 20, 2009 11:22 AM
I'm guessing Japanese people think the color of urine is not appropriate.
49. His Huge Greatness Himself - May 20, 2009 11:25 AM
The Japanese have more things for use in bathrooms what we don't have but i haven't seen this yet!
50. Rhialto - May 20, 2009 11:32 AM
I know these Japanese shower stools with a gap in the middle so you can reach everywhere.But this is new to me too!
51. neki - May 21, 2009 9:05 AM
@32 yeah i also think this is for jackin off
52. Nick Sydney - November 5, 2009 8:57 PM
well, just like Mr. GW i also always sit down, never know when you'll have to take a dump simultaneously
