Here we strongly recommend you this slicer: simply peel a banana, place the slicer on it and push it hard, then you’ll see the banana cut into pieces. More important, every piece is of the same width… (Is that really important? Not, to me. )

Diaper for men? Sounds bit of ridiculous, it is real product recently showcased at the Eco-Products 2011 in Tokyo. The pas has a cozy penis pocket, an electronic urine sensor, and a suction tube that’s hooked to a bedside vacuum with a tank. Whenever the diaper detects urine, the vacuum then starts sucking until the pad becomes virtually dry once again. That means the diaper not only features an outstanding ability of absorbing urine, but also quite ideal for reuse. According to its demonstration on the Eco-Products 2011, the vacuum can suck up almost all the urine, leaving merely a maximum of 0.5 cc (0.01 ounces) in the pad.
