Japan's Funny Portable Toilets
Japan has designed unique and funny portable toilets, mainly including the minimLET portable toilet, the 'World's Smallest Toilet', and Oki Sato's 'Portable Toilet'.
minimLET Portable Toilet: Developed by a Japanese company, it boasts extremely high portability and can be carried around easily. It consists of six components: a C-shaped seat ring, four lightweight aluminum rods, a garbage bag, a large piece of lightweight canvas, a coagulant, and a carrying bag. When in use, insert the four aluminum rods under the C-shaped seat pad. If aluminum rods are not available, plastic mineral water bottles can be used as a substitute. Then, put on the garbage bag to assemble a simple toilet. To avoid embarrassment for users, the designer has also considered privacy issues. Aluminum rods can be inserted through the small holes on the C-shaped seat pad to fix an opened umbrella, and then a tent made of nylon fabric can be put on. This tent can also be worn as a cloak in daily life. The gray carrying bag is made of waterproof material and can be used as a water bag in addition to holding components, holding up to 16 liters of water.
'World's Smallest Toilet': Known as the 'Pocket Toilet', its compactness is astonishing, being as small as the palm of a hand. When opened, it may seem like just a garbage bag, but it contains a lot inside, including a bag that can hold 1000ml, a coagulant, a deodorant, an odor-proof bag, and hand sanitizer. When in use, first find a toilet stand and put the bag on it. If there is no stand, the bag can be spread out and used as a squat toilet. Then, throw the deodorant and other materials into the bag. Finally, fold up the bag and put it into the odor-proof bag. After that, wash your hands. The whole process is both interesting and practical.
Oki Sato's 'Portable Toilet': It also has the characteristic of portability and can be put into a handbag. It consists of four aluminum rods, a C-shaped seat pad, a tent, tissue paper, a garbage bag, and a coagulant. The usage method is similar to that of the minimLET. Insert the four aluminum rods under the C-shaped seat pad. Four mineral water bottles filled with water or sand can also be used as a substitute. Then, put on the garbage bag to use it. To solve privacy issues, aluminum rods can also be inserted through the small holes on the C-shaped seat pad to fix an opened umbrella, and then the tent can be put on.
