Keep the seat down
Want to make sure male visitors don’t leave the seat up? The Potty Mouth helps remind those (read: guys) using the bathroom to put the toilet seat down after they are done with their business.

A variety of different women’s voices playfully yell at the offender until the toilet seat is put down. $14.95, potty-mouth.com.

Say goodbye to cord-chaos
