How would you improve on a common toilets design.
Please specify, or make evident whether you’re a male or female.
I would say garbage disposal would help… as disgusting as that may sound.

sorry…
I cut and pasted to spellcheck… and ended up puting the message in twice.
I would install an automatic flusher. My kids have a real problem remembering to do it.
I never use the plastic sit on it seat thingee. Never have. I wonder why anyone would.
I would design the bowl so that there was a little more room in the front, so that the tip of your penis doesn’t brush up against the inside of the bowl.
This is particularly disturbing in a public restroom, where hundreds of other guys’ penises have likely come into contact with the inside of the bowl, transferring their smegma to your penis! Re-design the goddamn toilets!!
When you live on a boat for any length of time dealing with marine toilets (or “heads”, as they are known) becomes a major part of your life. I have a few ideas on how to improve the designs but I m too lazy to get around to developing them. Some day i will become rich though. BTW, it’s not a “garbage disposal” it’s a macerator.
I agree.
At times… when you, um… ‘strain’, you can’t help but pee a little. When you’re a man, sitting and peeing at the same time… the pee often can escape between the seat and the bowl.
You would think a woman designed it.
Standing up at peeing can result in splash back.
I want armrests, so it’s like a real throne.
Not so much a redesign of the toilet itself, but more to do with the actual cubicle size. It’s way too small. Clearly vast acreage is out, but even so.
By the time you’ve managed to open the door, shoe-horn yourself between it and the loo, and then manage to precariously balance whatever bags / books / children [insert your choice] you happen to be carrying at the time around your neck because there’s no way you’re going to risk leaving them on the floor, you are in the first throes of claustrophobia.
More space!
And someone should make a token operated toilet roll dispenser. How many times have you rushed in without checking if there’s any paper, only to find that a) someone stole it b) used it all and didn’t bother to replace it?
<-female.
Female here!
I would replace the handles that you have to press to flush the toilets with things you can step on instead. I hate touching the same thing as hundreds of other people did after washing their hands! ewwwwwww!

I’d like to see some sort of auto seat wiper/sanitizer. It thoroughly grosses me out if I really have to go, sit down without looking (at a public toilet) and stand up to find that someone had peed on the seat. I considered automatic seat covers, but there didn’t seem to be any way to work that.
Female.
Self-cleaning. Seriously. And I’m talking about my home toilet.
There is nothing worse than cleaning the toilet (and the surrounding floor space). I know it’s my own funk, but I just can’t stand to do it.
And yes, public restroom stalls need to be bigger - or make the dang doors open OUT. I hate to brush my leg against the bowl when I’m trying to exit or enter the stall. Eew!
Automatic seat covers exist, I swear! There is a roll of material on one side (tube like), and it slides around the front to the other side (using a motor), where it is collected. Neato design.
Add a back massager to it. Also man size toilet paper holder. Of course, they would have to make man size toilet paper first.
Self cleaning for sure. The majority of the mess which occurs in my house’s toilets come from the guys…yet I’m the one who has to clean it up. What’s the deal with that?
There are some really cool high-tech toilets here in Japan. Some flash department stores have automatic flushers. They also have sound buttons; you press the button and it makes a flushing sound, so the people in the neighbouring cubicles can’t hear what you’re doing. And most of the toilets have handles for flushing, which are low enough to activate with your foot if you so desire.
My in-law’s toilet is heated (common over here), has a built-in bidet (again, very common) and an automatic deodoriser! Now THAT’S technology!
Lots of shopping malls and airport toilets have auto-flush. A back massager sounds good. How about a self-cleaning foot-massager, too?
Some of the toilets over at the Kahala mall theaters have seats that are cupped. Oh man they are so much more comfortable then flat ones, they really should be standard.
If you’re squemish this next paragraph may be a little TMI but hey, this is about toilets right?
You know the tractor beam technology from Star Wars and Star Trek? I’d like them to adapt that for toilets. And bathtubs abd showers as well. After you do your business you press this button and small little tractor beams rove across your nether regions pulling of ever drop of liquid, ever mote of fecal mater and other various dirts. Heck maybe even clean out the last few inches of the rectum. Of course the shower one would cover your entire body. Mmm-mmm, imagine how clean you would feel after that?
Following on the tractor beam idea. They could even be used to guide pee streams at urinals so as to completely eliminate any and all splash back. And when you’re done and leave the facilities they can roam over the seat and entire bathroom area making the porcelin clean enough to eat off of. Not that I’d recommend it though.

So I guess it’s up to me to provide the obligatory SNL “Love Toilet” reference.
