U.K. company, StandardToilet has created a toilet aimed at reducing employees’ bathroom breaks.

StandardToilet.net boasts that its toilets can “save time, save money, and benefit health.” The toilet is designed with the seat/bowl at an 11-13 degree declined angle, putting more pressure on the user’s legs. According to the company, an average user’s legs will begin to fatigue in about 5-minutes.
“Our unique Patent Application, applicable UK and worldwide, offers the ability to increase business efficiency and profits through reductions in social media usage.”
The company cites medical studies that say tradition toilets can cause swollen hemorrhoids and weakening of pelvic muscles. According to StandardToilet, the new angled seat can cause a reduction in the use of pelvic muscles. They cost between $200 and $650 depending on features and may sell seats with steeper slopes in the future.
