A new invention is going to revolutionise the way we use toilets.
Maximising our toilet potential and minimising splash-back is clearly a pressing problem for all of humanity.
AND IT JUST GOT SOLVED.
Introducing The Main Drain:
The Main Drain is a portable urinal designed to be attached to any toilet, any time, anywhere.
It’s the detachable urinal you never knew you needed, and it’s definitely going to change the course of human history.
Dan Garvin, the brilliant, innovative man who came up with the concept for The Main Drain, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to get his noble dream off the ground. You see, upon doing extensive research and collating the results of that research into data that is definitely very scientific and reliable, Garvin found that 9 out of 10 men wish they could use a urinal in the comfort of their own home.
“But the sad reality is,” Garvin tells us solemnly, “that less than 1% of guys will get a urinal in their home.”
Recognising that the lack of urinals in privileged western households was (at least) a tragedy on par with genocide, Garvin set about making sure every man who wants to pee in a square-shaped hole instead of a round-shaped hole WILL GET TO PEE IN THE HOLE THAT HE DAMN WELL CHOOSES.
For a detailed example of how The Main Drain works, Garvin has helpfully provided this informative GIF, which demonstrates exactly how gravity pushes wee down into the toilet.
Revolutionary.
But, besides the universal right to a home-based urinal, The Main Drain also comes with a few other incredible benefits. It’s designed to be attached to the toilet bowl under the toilet seat, so that the toilet seat never needs to be lifted again.
And the only price you pay is having a urinal next to your face every time you sit down on the toilet:
THIS IS A GAME CHANGER, PEOPLE.
If Dan Garvin has his way, the detachable urinal soon be as common as the television in households across the world. Soon, we’ll have a urinal at face-level every time we sit down on the toilet.
If you’d like to see this utopian vision of the future become a reality, you can invest in The Main Drain Kickstarter right here.
Seems like a no-brainer, really.

I think that is just gross - wouldn't have it as a gift - we have two toilets in our house, one which my husband uses (his choice, not mine) in our laundry where there is also a shower, and a very modern unit which has a handbasin on top of the cistern and when you flush the loo, the water pours into the basin, you can wash your hands and the water continues to run to fill the cistern - hand wash and a towel are provided in the toilet room.
All you have to do is push the urinal head out of the way when you sit, is it that hard to figure out?
and guess what, it won't smell if you clean it!
There is no way I would touch that thing with my hands after it had been used and btw, why should I clean it if I don't use it !! I honestly believe there wouldn't be too many men who would choose to have this thing in their home !!
Yeah but who would be cleaning it? I'm pretty sure I would have to cave and clean it before hubby even considered it may be time for a rinse.
