The Strangest Toilets in the World

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do"...
It is known that every country is a microcosm of its own, with its customs and ways of being, and we travel enthusiasts can do nothing but adapt to the context.
But how would you react if you found yourself having to meet your physiological needs in one of these restrooms?
Here are the strangest toilets in the world, the most unconventional and curious restrooms scattered across various corners of the earth.

Mirrored Glass

This incredible public restroom with mirrored glass walls was implemented in the heart of Sulphur Springs, in the state of Texas. Since then, it has become one of the city's main attractions. The same restroom can also be found in Houston and in front of the Tate Britain museum: the uniqueness is that from the outside, nothing is visible, but from the inside, it's like being completely outdoors!

Mouth-Shaped

Designed by a Dutch designer, these can be found scattered across Europe and the United States. The artist claims to have been inspired by the lips of heroines from his favorite manga, however, this has not spared him from fierce criticism from feminist groups around the globe. The toilets in the picture are located inside a casino in Las Vegas.

China has now become a leading economic force and perhaps part of the successes achieved can be attributed to significant technological breakthroughs. Amidst one brilliant invention after another, the elite of Chinese engineering have found time to design modern toilets with a thousand features. The public restrooms in Hong Kong are shown in the picture.

Aquarium, Japan

Another unusual Eastern creation... The toilet in the photo is undoubtedly one of the most curious in the world.
It is located in Japan, inside the Mumin Papa Café in Akash. It is enclosed in aquarium walls, teeming with cute and charming little fish.

What if we told you that there are toilets considered actual works of art? The toilets in the photo were created by renowned local artists and displayed in the main square of Kiev in Ukraine. The invitation to passersby was to sit on the toilet to ponder the economic crisis and potential solutions to it. After all, it is well known that the shower and restroom are ideal places to reflect on social, political, and philosophical problems.

Sexy and Embarrassing, Portugal

Have you ever found it difficult to satisfy your bodily needs because you feel watched? If the answer is yes, you are among those who would absolutely not benefit from the toilets in the photo. The management of a well-known Portuguese shopping center had the brilliant idea to place teasing mannequins behind the toilets that spy on customers during "the act".

The Sculpture

But embarrassment can certainly be created in the restroom... the sculpture resembling a David, more or less, has an "excessive sharpness" at one point... which, however, is functional and indispensable (for some, not) after completing the act of urination... and if you want to wash your hands... "you'll have to"!

Help Us to Distinguish...

In Germany, they have a different restroom based on what you've been drinking... Water, wine, beer... but can we be sure that users will be "honest"??

Tree with Built-in Urinal

Usually, trees, like car wheels, are completely at the disposal of dogs or other four-legged friends... but let's admit it, which young boy hasn't had to stop to relieve himself leaning against a tree after a night of drinking with friends? Here you go, drinking buddies and nature lovers... a convenient (not really) tree urinal!

The Bathroom with Arms

It's not exactly the height of tranquility to do it with two mechanical arms and hands in awkward positions right there while you... relieve yourself!
If then the hands are mechanical... the risk of getting "stuck" increases even more!

The Trombones of Freiburg

In Freiburg, they have put genuine trombones in the toilets, and one has to do it right there, inside the mouth of the trombone! But are we sure that flushing will produce a nice sound!?

For Those Who Want a Little Help...

Joking discussions of questionable taste among boys and teenagers have always existed... who can hold it, who can't... in short, everyone does it in their own way, but just "get used to it"... just in case, here you are served!

A Warm Embrace

Funny Bathroom

We are sure that not many women will appreciate this version of the toilet, and not many will be willing to be embraced by a toilet! Moreover, the figure seems quite naked and in a position... that leaves little doubt about the intentions! But ladies, if you really need to go... this is the price to pay!

Open Legs

We are really at the height of trash here... and if we have any doubts about whether women might appreciate the above embrace, we have absolutely no doubts here! But this is indeed an exclusively male restroom that truly leaves one speechless... and it's fine that we're not in a tea room, but there must be limits!

Hentai

We are still in a men's restroom, and spying on us are the classic images of Japanese hentai, those slightly adult animated films. What effect will these young cartoon lolitas have? Up or Down?

Bomb Drop!

Here, a cute drawing, a decal, was enough to elicit laughter from users! On the toilet seat, a "metaphor" of what one is about to do...!

The Guillotine

A scene that even in the worst horror films... a fear that unites all men... that of losing our "treasure"! And in the worst way: while urinating, with a guillotine! A restroom for "only the brave"!

The Largest Bathroom in the World, China

The city of Chongqing hosts the largest public restroom in the world.
Consisting of over 1000 toilets spread over an area of about 32 thousand square meters. Perfectly recognizable in the photo, they feature quite imaginative shapes: dragons, sacred images, female breasts, etc.
