Meet The Toilet Of The Future

Ladies and gents, witness the toilet of the future. Seriously, I’ve never seen anything like the Kohler Numi in all of my days of sanitary wellness. Not only is it a SQUARE toilet seat, but it includes several incredibly neat features like:

  1. Floor level feet warmers
  2. Illuminated panels (AKA it glows in the dark)
  3. A deodorizer
  4. Motion activated lid (I wonder if it automatically puts the seat down after a man uses it… this alone could be a selling point for women everywhere)
  5. And my personal favorite, an iPhone-esque remote control that has six user presets and enables you to adjust music, heat, and more.

The only problem is that it apparently costs around $6k. Time to start saving up.

Listen — I'm always looking for a reason to get new party dresses, and the holiday season gives PLENTY of reason alone.
