Slam Dunk toilet basketball set: Road Test

It’s possibly the most unhygienic piece of sports apparatus ever invented. But is it fun?

What is it?

Possibly the most unhygienic piece of sports apparatus ever invented. It’s a basketball game for the loo.

How does it work? You fix the net to the back of the bathroom door via a sucker attachment, and the ball-holder (which holds three mini, soft basketballs) next to the toilet. Then you shoot hoops while sitting on the throne.

But what about picking the balls up? You may have to waddle, which is terribly undignified – but at least no one’s looking. Alternatively, you could keep a garden rake in there.

The manufacturer claims it makes toilet-time “infinitely more exciting”. Does it? Well, it’s pretty challenging. But if you burst out of the bog yelling that you’ve just scored a hat-trick, don’t be surprised if no one wants to high-five you.
