The Toilet That Transforms Into an Urinal

It’s a fact that men have something when it comes to urinals. We love them for a reasons that we don’t even understand. However when you look at this piece of technology below, you may get an idea why! It’s a self-cleaning toilet that turns into an urinal with the flick of a button. An innovative toilet system designed by Young Sang Eun, this is the “Ultimate Clean Toilet”. It closes up and blasts those septic areas with steam and ultraviolet light, leaving them extremely clean even if it’s no scrubbing involved. Now if they could bring in the “butt-washing/cleaning” solution to that thing … it would be ultimate toilet for modern men. Right?
