Created by UK-based Standard Toilet, the specialty of this toilet seat lies in its 13-degree angular slope. This is reportedly a slope too steep for you to sit happily for a prolonged period of time. According to its designers, the slope aims at straining the quadriceps, resulting in most people’s inability to remain seated for more than five minutes. Thus, it will help you to cut downtime on your phone and increase productivity to a great extent.

According to the chairman of Standard Toilet, Mahabir Gill, this slope will not cause any health adversity in individuals apart from straining the quadriceps minutely enough to get done in five minutes. You would be pretty surprised to know that the British Toilet Association has also backed this supposedly genial idea. In fact, Gill had also lodged a patent for the same back in July 2019.

However, it seems not every Twitter user is happy with it. As per many, it will cut down on comfort breaks during work hours, benefiting the employers more than the employees. In doing so, it might also curb the efficiency of the employees to a great extent.

Whether or not this toilet will be effective and efficient in the lives of people is yet to be seen. But, we can’t really get over with this idea of creating an innovative sloping toilet to increase productivity. Priced at $600, do you think it is worth a purchase?

Stuul is not your everyday toilet stool. It has been designed specifically as a two-part stool, which can be compressed into one when not in use. When intended to be used, you can just flip it open into two parts. Now, the question that many of you might ask is, why do we need a stool in the first place.

Well, clinically it has been proven that a squatting position while pooping relaxes the related muscles and makes the job much easier than the seated position. It also minimizes the chances of constipation to a great extent. Hence, stuul aims to elevate your legs to just the right degree that you might need to be on a squat position while using your regular toilet seat.

The makers of stuul have also kept in mind the aesthetics of a modern bathroom and given a sleek design to it that matches the vibe of a well-decorated bathroom. What is more appealing is the fact that the stuul is made from a special material with a high strength-to-weight ratio. The manufacturing process is further carbon-neutral that promises no repercussion on the environment. It is also 100% recyclable.

You would be happy to know that the stuul is available in five different colors. They are available at $99, and are really an investment of sorts. You can buy them at Yanko Design (free delivery till December 31).

Does it sound a bit similar? Well, we know it is a fearful scenario, which is why we have brought to you three easy ways in which you can clear unclog your toilet. These are time-tested methods and requires no rocket science to be used. Take a look –

1. Pour hot water. Wait. Flush

This is one of the quickest and easiest methods. Hot water works magically when it comes to unclogging drains, toilets, and sinks. In this case, you need a few cups of hot water. Pour this boiling water into the toilet and wait for some time. About a minute or two must be enough. Thereafter, you can flush as usual. Hot water dissolves the dirt and grime, and breakdown the waste products. As a result, the clog loosens. Later, when you flush it out, the remaining dirt goes away with the flow.

2. Add soap. Wait. Flush

If you have some time in hand and if you find that the clog isn’t much harsh yet, this method works fine. In this method, you can use any type of soap – detergent, liquid or even shampoo – and pour it all over the toilet. Detergent works great in this case. Then, wait for it out for some time, preferably an hour for the best result. Thereafter, scrub a little with the toilet brush and flush it out as usual. As one might know, soap tends to clear the dirt by breaking even the minutest particle. However, giving it time to work is absolutely mandatory, so perform this step when you’re not in any kind of hurry.

3. Plunge it up

Before you start plunging, make sure you have a flange plunger as the general cup plungers don’t work great when it comes to unclogging toilets. Flange plungers are equipped with a rubber sleeve that manages to extend below the dome-shaped cup, section or boot. You have to be ensured that the flange is extended as you lower the plunger into the toilet. Perform this task at an angle that allows the boot to be filled with water instead of trapping air. Thereafter, insert the flange into the drain pipe and press down in order to let the boot seal tightly around the hole.

Now, push the plunge in both upward and downward direction as both these forces are required to unclog the toilet. If the clog is too harsh, you can let it sit in that position for a few minutes before working on the same. Flush after you’re done!
