Building a more perfect commode
Posted on 12/21/16 at 9:04 am
Posted on 12/21/16 at 9:04 am
Several days ago, someone started a thread about devices so perfect they cannot be improved.
One TDer suggested the toilet was just such a device. There was some disagreement about this, but I didn't read any specific suggestions that really moved me. Eating some food out of my fridge that should have been tossed has changed that. I've now thought about this a lot. I'm convinced that toilets have not yet achieved their optimal design. We need to design a toilet that helps us poop smarter, not harder.
A better designed toilet should have these features:
Front mount
You should not have to turn around to sit. We approach from the front, often during a moment of urgency. A well designed toilet should optimize our inertia. The current design is probably even tougher on wheelchair bound people. They should be able to wheel up and slide forward without spinning around, not park their chair on the side of the toilet and then somehow maneuver to the side.
The other benefit of forward mount is it should enable a more ergonomic access for courtesy flushes.
Handlebars
Handlebars on a front mount design will help handicapped people pull themselves forward AND give the user something to grip. I recommend flush placement to mimic the throttle on a motorcycle. Right hand flush, left hand bidet.
Forward Lean
Forward lean just happens to work perfectly with a forward mount and handlebars. It just so happens that this is also the most sensible way to eliminate that final plop of water splashing up into your b-hole. In public restrooms, this can leave you praying that your predecessors didn't have AIDS. Launching a loaf should be more like entering a pool from a water slide, not a diving board.
A raised deck for foot placement
There's a reason why the Squatty Potty is getting traction. Buying a 7 inch stool may be a strategy, but producing a 7 inch stool should be the outcome. The feces aficionados of the Squatty Potty assert that the proper angle for a proper slow dangle and drop is 35 degrees. But proper foot placement which enables the knees to be raised, should not be dependent on an after-market accessory. The truth is you may not be as constipated as you think. Maybe it's your posture. Maybe the real culprit is the inferior design of your porcelain throne. Science proves it's all in the proper anorectal angle of your defecational expulsions.
..........
I know what you're all thinking, "Stop, Willie. You're making too much sense. There's only so much perfection we can handle in a single idea session."
Yeah, you're right. That probably IS all you can handle. But brace yourselves, because I feel one more coming on.
Cup holders
Nuff said.
But maybe more needs to be.

For some of us, taking a shite is the only personal time we can get when not sleeping. When passing, we often look for ways seize the moment and pass the time. The opportunity to make an efficient or entertaining passing of the time is often too good to pass up. The space between the handlebars would be perfect for a "shelf" for reading material, mobile devices, a charging station, or even just a place to put your sandwich.
All this win in one device? In one, broad-sweeping concept change, one of life's most cringe worthy moments is transformed into one of life's greatest pleasures that also serve up healthier, more natural and effortless poops. It's like buying your rectum a juicer.
What say you OT? Should I set up a gofundme page?
Anyone care to name it? I'll share profits for naming rights.

Do you have to undress for the front mount. Pants around the ankles would make that difficult. I'm not George Costanza.

I would like to motion for a small (6"x4") warming plate to set your hot pocket or other snack in the need that both grips on the handle bar need to be held.

I second this, unless someone wants to invent comfortable pants/shorts where the crouch and seat are removed easily allowing one to sit in front position, but at that point are they still pants or jean chaps?

I have the perfect toilet, bought 3 of those 4 liters (1 gallon per flush) fast flush low water toilets. Love them. Lower water bill and none of that swirling around occasionally having to reflush or plunge.

Yeah, I hear ya. It's not ideal for a public restroom unless it gets its own stall to provide it just as an option for those who prefer a more complete experience.
It came to me at home, because when I'm pooping in the morning before a shower or at night before changing into pj's, I'm usually sporting the Winnie the Pooh look where pants are a non-issue.

Built in bidet with fully adjustable, warm water pressure jets and joystick control. This is a non starter for any clean sheet, concept toilet design, imo.

But does it have handlebars or a cup holder??

Im not OT handicapped but I have a counter sink top next to it for coffee cup.

My toilets dont have this problem but I am sure others have experienced something similar at one point or another.
Eliminating all forms of splash back.
Whether the bowl is not deep enough or water levels are too high. Your drop should never cause something that can come back and touch you, nor should a courtesy flush have water pressure so intense as it rapidly fills the bowl that toilet water is hitting you.
I would also recommend a pressure floor pedal to lift the toilet seat so men dont have to bend over to lift the lid while pissing in the middle of the night. When the pedal is released the toilet seat returns to the resting position. No females yelling, guys dont need to overexert themselves while half asleep.

Almost everything you said doesn't work. If you mount from the front, then you can't see the door and you have to back up, then turn around to get off. You also don't have anything to lean back against when you read TD for 20 mins after you finish. Handlebars also don't make sense, they'd get in the way for 95% of people that aren't handicapped. If you've ever used a handicap tub, you know handicap bars get in the way. And the forward lean also wouldn't stop the splash. You don't shoot out poop at whatever angle u sit at, it still falls straight down. And when something falls into water, water splashes back at the same angle, so you would still get splashed. The only thing you said that actually makes sense is the footrest to make it more like a squatty potty

Magazine rack or holder for magazines to read or holder for tablet?
Fan that provides positive pressure downward (idea gained from Tech board)....no sense in making people smell their own stink by bringing it upward.
Self Cleaning?
Auto Flush?
For the environmentally concerned: 2 flush modes...one for liquid/one for solid (already designed...mind as well implement)

warming seat is a must on any "perfect commode"...but I love your other ideas besides front mount, that would require nudity.

Integrated thigh massage to keep my feet from falling asleep.
Recline feature with tablet holder for masturbating.
