Tooshlights LEDs Let You Know if Someone’s Parked in a Restroom Stall

Posted on by

Many indoor parking areas use lights so you can see if a spot is vacant or taken way before you get there. A company called Tooshlights figured it could install the same system in public restrooms. Its eponymous product works exactly the same as parking lights: they will shine red LEDs when a stall is occupied and green if a stall is vacant.

Here’s an animated video about Tooshlights:

Tooshlights is also working on a mobile app that will be tailored to a specific area. Say you’re in a stadium and you want to go to the restroom. You can then use the Tooshlights app not just to find the nearest restroom, but to check exactly how many stalls are available in that restroom. Tooshlights will make a version of the app for management that reveals more information about the condition of their restrooms.

Automatic Toilet Paper Dispenser Perfect for Germophobes

Posted on by

Sometimes it’s mind-boggling how companies are able to come up with solutions to problems that seem pretty trivial at first glance. A perfect example is the Camitool, an automatic toilet paper dispenser which was probably developed in response to all the complaints that germophobes unleashed against having to use toilet paper that (ick) others have already touched.

Auto Toilet PaperWe’ve already got automatic faucets, automatic soap dispensers, and automatic hand dryers in public restrooms. So why not automate one more thing so that people will virtually not have to lay their hands on anything at all?

On a serious note, it actually does help people with rheumatism grab toilet paper without the pain or the hassle. And the less hands that touch it, the cleaner.

Users can program just how many inches of toilet paper to dispense before having Camitool automatically cut it. Several Japanese hospitals already have the Camitool installed, but it might take a while before we see this hit public restrooms on a massive scale, no thanks to its 60,000 yen (~$765 USD) price tag.
