Wearable Toilet: Japanese Invention
Right on the heels of Lizz’s post come these high-tech space diapers: the wearable toilet project.
Engineers all over the world have focused their vast brainpower to overcome one major obstacle—space pooping. The Japanese think they have a solution with their fancy new wearable toilet.
Indeed, this is a far cry from the glorified Depends former NASA astronaut Lisa Nowak drove cross country in a couple of years back. These can detect when you relieve yourself, remove the waste with suction and clean you up after each use. They can even eliminate unpleasant sounds and odors.
Sounds? Odors? I know this is somewhat of a joke, but there were many times when I wished for a good night’s sleep and something like this.

OMG, this is amazing. I think I would utilize these sans Crohn’s and J-pouch; just for the sake of convenience.
