If you’ve ever heard the phrase “man cave,” you probably cringed, knowing that for many men, the bathroom is the ultimate hideaway. It’s where they “take care of business” for what feels like an eternity while we’re left juggling the kids and dinner. But it’s time to change that!
Introducing the Toilet Timer, a clever new gadget that ensures your partner can’t linger for too long. For just a one-time pledge of $17 on their Kickstarter, you can snag this game-changing tool—assuming they reach their funding goal, of course. The timer features a cheeky silhouette of a man enjoying his time on the throne, phone in hand. And with the sand gracefully flowing through its hourglass, it serves as a friendly reminder: “Shit or get off the pot.” Literally.
Just imagine the relief of knowing that those 40-minute throne sessions are a thing of the past. With this timer set for five minutes, your partner will have to make a choice: go or get out. No more endless scrolls through Reddit or YouTube while you’re left to manage the chaos at home.
If your partner is anything like mine, you can practically see him strutting into the bathroom with a device in hand, preparing for an extended stay. But let’s face it: if it’s not ready to come out, there’s no need to camp out on the toilet! We all know that as moms, we’re lucky to get a couple of minutes before the world falls apart outside the bathroom door. Just this morning, I barely had time to pee before my little one was knocking, wrapped in a blanket, demanding breakfast while my partner blissfully snoozed away.
If we tried to take those long bathroom breaks, we’d return to find the house in disarray or our kids in utter chaos. So why should our partners get a pass? It’s time for some equality in bathroom time!
