<p>I&#8217;m amazed at the level of details that was created just using toilet paper alone.</p>

<p>This means me to wonder &#8230;. what do you folks do when you are having constipation and have to spend a longer period of time in the toilet? Do you read a book, surf the web using your iPhone, etc?</p>

<p>Users can ever align their feet on the  painted skis on the floor. These stalls have been built in various ski resort bathrooms as part of a promotion for Coca-Cola&#8217;s Georgia Max Coffee.</p>

<p>I always wondered how it would feel like to skii down a icy slope that is almost vertically inclined. I would probably poop in my pants =P</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are two really interesting toilet products that are being produced for Japanese women. First up is a special pill called <a href="http://hc.kowa.co.jp/ladyguard/index.html">Lady Guard</a>. This pill helps to relieve the urge to go pee and is targeted at women who have to run to the toilet often.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" style="border: 2px solid black; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="http://alafista.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/images/january09/011.jpg" src="http://alafista.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/images/january09/011.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="378" /></p>
<p>Next up is an intelligent toilet which is also targeted at female users.</p>

<p>This intelligent toilet II is equipped with all of the original health monitoring features (urine sugar analysis, blood pressure check, BMI and body weight measurement), plus an additional function designed to appeal to women: urine temperature measurement and analysis, which can help  women keep track of their menstruation cycles.</p>

<p>I wonder what will happen if I pop twenty of those anti-peeing pills into my friends drink. Will he/she never be able to go to the toilet again? LOL</p>

<p>Looks like about half of the surveyed Japanese have no problem with the hot water bum-washing toilet seat.</p>
<p>How about you? Do you look forward to using it at least once in your life? Or how was your first experience like?</p>
