Japanese toddlers enthusiastic for portable banana toilet

Japan is a country that offers an unparalleled variety of pooping experiences, from its legendary high-tech washlet toilets to the traditional squat style and even rural pit toilets. And yet, the Japanese can still find room in their hearts, and their butts, to welcome a newcomer.

The photo above may look like a hard plastic case designed to hold a banana, but it’s actually a receptacle to be used at the complete opposite end of the digestive process. The crescent shape actually folds out to reveal…

…a portable toilet, which the designers say is perfect for outdoor activities like camping and music festivals, long car rides, post-natural disaster recovery periods, or child potty training. Weighing just 320 grams, the Banana Potty is compact and light enough to easily carry in a day bag.
