Everyone who is anyone pees and when you do so, you’re supposed to hear the gentle tinkling of your inner release hitting the porcelain bowl.. right? Not according to Japanese women, as they apparently find it shameful to let other women hear their peeing sounds when they are in public areas. Their age-old solution involved flushing first, only to quickly pee right after to have the flushing mute the sounds. But that is all outdated since this ingenious device hit the market!

Measuring 6.5 x 3 x 2 cm, it emits the flushing sound of 25 seconds at one time so that you can pee in peace without the pressure of finishing before the flushing ends. A TDS experiment revealed that 25 seconds is indeed sufficient enough. I only peed for 6 seconds. Milfo needed 12 seconds, Johnny Mountain only takes dumps, Pushcart Prince was in the booth for 6 minutes with Chrissie Chau’s photo album book (and was hence disqualified) and Kitty Cougar’s fee for golden showers was out of our budget. The device comes at a cheap price of 315 Yen (HK$ 27), which would allow for plenty of fun during movies or family dinners as well.

Say yes to anime figures being raped by octopus monsters, tattooing of testicles as an open show and exposing nubile butt cheeks roaming the streets, but heaven forbid…. peeing noises. The horror. You gotta love the Japs.
