Kneeling bench keeps toilet splashes (and pride) to a minimum
"Japanese men brought to their knees by angry housewives"... this headline brought to you by the makers of the Tenshi no Hizamakura, literally "Angels Knee Pillow", a bizarre kneeling bench for your toilets!
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 has to perform the toilet cleaning services.
...and when a Japanese woman is expected to become a regular toilet cleaner, you can bet urine trouble. =P
The Tenshi no Hizamakura is the answer to a Japanese woman's dreams (and the cause of Japanese men's nightmares).
The deluxe DX style costing 5,800 yen (about $60) is the two-piece ensemble, and the cheapest one, with the one-piece design that from above resembles a peanut, costs 4,800 yen (about $50).
