Nobody wants to talk about it, but who really wants to listen to your gaseous emissions? Not me. This weird gadget from Japan lets you mask your bathroom activities while you “do your business”.
Seriously, I couldn’t make this shit up. And now, you’ll be able to cover yours up thanks to the “Ecohime Flush Water Sound Cell Phone Strap”. Just flip the switch on the Ecohime, and you’ll conceal any unpleasant noises with the sound of loudly running water.
What I don’t get is that they made this thing look like a rose, but it only covers up sounds, not smells. I mean why wouldn’t you design this thing to emit a pleasant flowery scent while it’s doing its job? Seems like a major miss. Well, there’s always Ecohime 2.0, right?
Want one for your pocket? The Ecohime can be yours for the low, low price of ¥999 (appx. $10.98 USD) over at Strapya World.

you know, i have friends with severe bathroom phobias– they can’t pee if it’s too quiet, if someone else is in the public restroom with them. i think this could come in handy for a lot of poor souls, hahaha.
Wow it’s rather obnoxious. And while it’s a neat idea, its usage suggests to others that you are, indeed, doing something that needs to be masked. Which almost defeats the purpose in my mind. But maybe I’m thinking too hard about this…
