We’ve written before about how the average toothbrush is believed to be harboring more than 10 million bacteria, including particularly nasty stuff like Staph and E. coli. This is partly due to the number of bacteria that live in your mouth — anywhere between 100 to 200...
You haven’t felt true cold until you sit on the toilet when it’s dropped below freezing outside. But surely, human ingenuity can outwit a chilly piece of porcelain? We went searching far and wide for a solution to this glacial problem. Here are the options we uncovered:...
We are all aware, subconsciously, that the bathroom — that place we tend to spend a lot of time naked — is crawling with germs. Of course it is: It’s where you poop; it’s where you leave your grimy street clothes in a pile before leaping into...
It starts as an emergency move: You’re trying to wash your hands, and the soap dispenser is giving you nothing but air, so to help that last half inch of soap reach the frustratingly short plastic tube, you add some water, give it a shake, and hey...
Provided we don’t end up in a Mad Max-style post-apocalyptic nightmare, where water is hoarded by barbarian warlords, the future looks pretty good for the average bathroom. Here are just some of the upgrades we’re likely to see become standard in the next couple of decades. The...
Your partner could be incredible, flawless, perfection incarnate — and still annoy the hell out of you after too much time together. This has become readily apparent since the coronavirus forced us to hunker down in our homes with our significant others for months on end and,...

It may be the year 2020, but living in a home with a dishwasher is still a luxury to many. Hand washing dishes after each and every meal is a necessary evil across much of the world, and with much of that same world in some level...
