Double Toilet for Lovers That Love to Do Everything Together — The Internet’s Most Bizarre Bathroom Trend
Some inventions are so bizarre, you’re not sure whether to laugh, cringe, or admire the bold creativity. And then there’s the Lovers Toilet — a porcelain monument to intimacy that goes far beyond scented candles and shared playlists. It’s real. It exists. And somehow, it still sparks debates online every time someone stumbles across its photo.
Originally, this ridiculous-yet-hilarious idea started as a joke. In 1991, a sketch on Saturday Night Live introduced “The Love Toilet” — a double-seated commode designed for couples who couldn’t bear to be apart, even in the most private moments. The concept was absurd, intentionally over-the-top, and meant to parody how modern relationships were obsessed with doing everything “together.” It was never meant to be taken seriously. Or so we thought.
Fast forward a few years, and someone actually tried to make it real. Enter the “TwoDaLoo.” Designed and marketed by a Texas-based company, the product took that SNL gag and flushed it straight into reality. The TwoDaLoo featured two seats facing the same direction, a shared bowl, and even options for upgrades like a flat-screen TV or iPod dock — because, of course, why not binge-watch while bonding?
According to reports, the toilet sold for around $1,400 before quietly disappearing into the obscure corners of bathroom innovation history. The company’s website went offline. The product never became mainstream. But the image? The legacy? That lived on. It popped up on meme pages, weird invention threads, and now, in the era of viral content, it’s back in rotation again. People can’t stop asking: was it ever real?
The answer is yes — and more importantly, the idea behind it still sparks strong reactions. For some, it’s the ultimate joke — a tongue-in-cheek take on how far people will go to be close to each other. For others, it’s an actual nightmare. Most people don’t want conversation and eye contact while handling… personal business. And then there’s the few who genuinely find it sweet, or at the very least, efficient.
That’s the strange charm of the Lovers Toilet. It’s both totally absurd and oddly meaningful. It makes you think about how strange modern relationships can be, how much we overshare, how little privacy some couples are okay with. It forces you to ask questions like, “Is this peak romance or rock bottom?” and, “Would you still love someone after witnessing that side of them, every day?”
In many ways, it’s a perfect snapshot of internet humor. It blends something very real (an actual manufactured product) with the surreal nature of meme culture. Nobody’s entirely sure if it was made as a joke, a serious invention, or both. And that’s what gives it power. It makes you laugh. Then it makes you uncomfortable. And then, just maybe, it makes you wonder if you’re actually the weird one for being bothered by it.
The truth is, the TwoDaLoo probably never sold in large numbers. It was a marketing stunt, a social commentary, a punchline disguised as plumbing. But it continues to live online because it taps into something deeper — our fascination with the ridiculous lengths humans will go to for love, comfort, or attention.
And honestly, in a world filled with soulless gadgets and “smart” appliances nobody really asked for, maybe a double toilet for couples isn’t the worst thing. Maybe it’s a weird kind of genius. It’s not practical. It’s not romantic. But it’s unforgettable. And that’s more than most inventions can say.
Would you get one? Probably not. But would you laugh, share the image with your friends, and bring it up during awkward dinner conversations? Definitely. And that’s exactly what makes it iconic.
