How to make a ‘hyginea’ toilet
Hygineas are a new kind of toilet, designed to be more comfortable than the traditional flush-down toilet.
It has the added advantage of eliminating the need for the toilet paper, and has been developed by the UK’s National Centre for Health and Care Excellence (NCHA) in collaboration with the University of Bath.
Hygines can be fitted with screens and doors, and can be attached to a toilet, shower, or bath.
You can use one in public toilets and two in private toilets.
There are now some 3,500 Hygeneas in use in Britain, and a further 4,000 in the US.
Hygiene experts say there are many benefits to using hyginees, but some caution against the practice.
“This is a very safe, simple, and cost-effective option to help people stay in touch with their health and well-being,” said Dr Andrew Rimmer, from the Department of Hygiene at NCHA.
“It’s very much like using a regular flush toilet, but with a little extra security.”
A hygenea is a toilet that is attached to the toilet seat, and if it gets wet the seat will flush.
“However, the toilet’s design makes it so that the seat is flushable and will not leak, and it has a built-in toilet paper dispenser which can be removed and flushed as soon as the seat’s dry. “
“If it doesn’t need to be flushed, it can be washed or reused as many times as needed, so there’s no need for any cleaning.” “
There is a separate device that you can put on to wash and sanitise the seat after it has been flushed, as well as the option of attaching the seat to a wall and using the wall to provide a separate toilet. “

Hygenas are designed to help the person in the room, but are also suitable for use in public areas.
The technology is now being used by organisations such as the National Health Service, NHS Scotland and local authorities to help with health issues such as urinary tract infections, gastro-esophageal reflux, constipation and bowel infections.
Dr Romer said it was a shame that some toilets were still not designed for hygines.
“We are currently working on a hyginea for the NHS, which will be installed in the NHS’s primary care areas and will be the first one in the UK,” he said.
“For now, there are a lot of barriers to people using hygenas in their public toilet.”
The National Centre of Health and Health Care Excellence is working to introduce hygens in public and private toilets across the UK.
The National Health and Social Care Information Centre is working with NHS Scotland to improve hygiene at public facilities and is currently working with local authorities on hygienic strategies to help reduce toilet paper waste.
Hygelas can be installed anywhere there is a need to relieve pressure on the seat and provide a barrier between you and the person you are about to urinate with.
Hygeinees are available for £20, and £10 can be purchased as a kit from your local pharmacy.
