Now before you start thinking about how dumb whoever came up with this idea is.. We're happy (and relieved) to let you know that the glass walls actually turn opaque at the push of a button.

The city of Lausanne in Switzerland might have found the perfect solution for the number of unhealthy and illegal activities that can go on in public toilets by introducing these high-tech, transparent ones in place of normal toilets.


The glass walls are partly made of liquid crystal, so when an occupant pushes the button, the crystals come under electric tension, making them go dark in colour, and thus ensuring privacy.


So what makes this toilet the solution to prevent illegal and unhealthy activities you might ask? - It features a motion detector that will automatically make the glass clear again if there's no movement, or if there's (cough cough), TOO MUCH movement.
