One Little Tweak Makes A Vastly Improved Soap Dispenser
There hasn’t been much innovation in the soap dispenser world since self-pumping sensor-activated models entered the picture. But those can easily break and/or run out of batteries rendering their hands-free advantages moot. That’s why the simple design improvements of Joseph Joseph’s new C-Pump are so brilliant.
The Tongue Toothbrush Is The Grossest Way To Be Hygienic
Toothbrushes haven’t changed much. Sure, some fancy tech wiz brushes spin the bristles themselves, but at the end of the day, after centuries of use, we still have to hold the damn thing. Not anymore. The T2T is a hands-free toothbrush that you slip onto your tongue to do your teeth cleaning. It’s the grossest way to be hygienic.
Dyson’s Newest Airblade Could Change The Way Architects Think
While James Dyson is the obvious face of the company he founded in 1993, he isn’t the only one tinkering away at high-powered blades or really sucky vacuums in Malmesbury, England. With over 700 some engineers under one roof, Dyson tasked Marcus Hartley with creating the new Airblade Tap about two and a half years ago.
Dyson’s New Airblade Tap Dries Your Hands At The Sink

If you’ve ever debated the merits of storing a mug upside-down, or right side up, this brilliant redesign renders that discussion moot. When stored right side up, dust can easily collect inside a mug, and when stored upside down, the rim is touching a potentially dirty surface. But the angled handle of the Bevel Mug solves both of those issues.
Sex Science Facts 101: Can I Get An STI From Public Toilets?
No. The chances of getting an STI from peeing in a public bathroom are in the incredibly low-to-no range. Could the organisms that cause chlamydia and gonorrhoea infections be present in people’s urine that’s splattered on the seat? Yes. But are those organisms going to find their way into your urethra or vagina? Not unless you rub the tip of your urethra (or vaginal entrance) on a contaminated toilet seat. Who does that?
Dyson Has Patented A Tap That Also Dries Your Hands
Public and workplace restrooms often have far fewer hand dryers than they have sinks to wash hands in, leaving people queuing for a dryer with dripping hands. OK, perhaps it’s not one of the world’s biggest problems. But it is annoying enough to be addressed by vacuum cleaner and Airblade hand dryer maker Dyson of Malmesbury, UK, in a US patent filing: it has invented a water tap that can also dry your hands.
