Does This Make You Cringe

While working hard to market The Shandle: Toilet Seat Handle as a smart inexpensive potty training tool we come across many other types of products. From potty seats, wee wee targets, books, videos and songs we've seen most (if not all) there is out there!

The beauty of the Shandle is that it removes the need to touch the toilet seat. No matter how clean it is- there is just something nasty about that surface.

If the kids hand on the seat in the image below makes you cringe you'll appreciate the function of the Shandle. Never Touch The Toilet Seat Again!

Our aim is to help you teach your kids healthy bathroom habits- with The Shandle they'll learn to wash their hands, put the seat up and they will never grab the seat again! Check out the designs we've created just for kids!

Reuseable Wipes

Just when I thought I had seen it all I come across the latest bathroom concept coming out of Australia. Reusable Wipes. While I'm all for GREEN causes- this is too much.

My guess is that anyone who is willing to use these doesn't mind touching the toilet seat and has no need for The Shandle in their home.

Do you need dedicated washing machine to truly integrate these into your daily life?

Whats In A Name?


The Shandle gets it name from combining Seat and Handle into a single and fun to say word-Shandle. The Shandle-toilet seat handle- is not descended from the ancient Shandle family roots described in this unique book available at Amazon. I wonder how much there is to really say about the name: The Shandle Name in History.

Do The Potty Dance


So...If you love dancing you'll love Doing The Potty Dance. This new kid friendly campaign takes nine dance moves and teaches kids what to do when they get that funny feeling!

Huggies Pull Ups Genius! The production value alone makes me one happy entrepreneur. Dreams do come true!

Tori Spelling, who could use a Shandle for her son, took part in the launch party!

I love Tori and Dean! (Love is a strong word- but this kid sure is a cutie!)

Our friends at As They Grow Up sent us this video of the Shandle in action. Pretty much the cutest kid ever! Love how he doesn't have to touch the toilet seat?

Toilet House: How Was This Overlooked?

The chairman of the world toilet association has built a home in south Korea in the shape of a gigantic toilet. His responsibility for bringing awareness to sanitation issues around the globe prompted him to design this odd home. Based on the number of posts (including this one) he's generated some serious attention.

I don't see a Shandle on this toilet, so I'm guessing the roof isn't retractable. Perhaps when they do the remodel they'll call us!

Wash Your Hands After Going To The Bathroom



Sometimes it is the little things in life that matter. This video is all fun. I particularly love the guy who pecks the mannequin on the lips. Too Cute.

Now Thats What I Call Innovation


I lived for 5 years in an apartment that was so tiny the bathroom didn't have room for a sink. This meant shaving in the shower and brushing teeth/washing hands in the kitchen sink.

It was a fine day when the bathroom gods delivered me a new home with a full bath, sink included.

Today I'm sending a photo to my old landlord of this awesome 2 in 1 toilet that I found. It features a sink built right into the top so that you can wash hands etc in a tightly constructed bathroom.

Sure wish I had this one back in the day. Who knows where I'd be today.

The Sign Says It All


Stumbled upon a great bathroom sign this weekend in Brooklyn. The Downtown Bar and Grill features about 1 million different types of bottled beer and a single unisex restroom. The restroom features this great sign posted right above the toilet.

Reminds me of the saying a friend requested for a personalized Shandle saying "We aim to please...Please aim too."
