Are we getting lazier, so we need a touchless and automatic device just to carry out some simple tasks for us? Or, we simply just wanna save some time? Here is the Towel-Matic touchless towel paper dispenser, which automatically dispenses paper for you without having you to touch or hold it.
When your hand is approaching it, it’ll automatically dispense the towel paper to you. According to the product page, it’s claimed as the world’s first and only automatic universal paper towel dispenser that works on all perforated paper towel brands, standard full size and new half sheets.
Of course, it’s equipped with couple of sensors to detect when your hand is approaching and it guarantees a single hand operation, so there will be no touching on the unused sheets or the dispenser, and the towels don’t unravel. Now, I see the point of having a touchless paper dispenser i.e it prevents contamination.
You know, your dirty hands when you’re about to finish your business in the loo, you’ll have a couple of pulling and tearing of the paper roll. Your sticky fingers could easily transfer some extra “substance” to the toilet paper roll or the dispenser. So, a touchless one is much more hygienic.

[...] A touchless electronic bath tissue dispenser, as shown in the picture, which is claimed to be the first one in the world that is touchless, according to Kimberly-Clark. But, I think we’ve seen one just last month, which is also a touchless paper dispenser. Anyway, the touchless dispenser of Kimberly-Clark works on coreless paper, which is different from the one we’ve seen before that works on all sizes of perforated paper. You just need to give a wave of your hand under its sensor, then a pre-measured amount of toilet paper will be rolled out to you. And you can program it for the sheet length such as 16″ (Short), 20″ (Medium) and 24″, so you can control your kids not to waste too much paper. Kimberly-Clark calls it a “controlled dispensing” that can help you save at least 20% of the amount of tissue used. This dispenser definitely guarantees you a single hand operation, so you can leave the other hand free for some other more “important” task. Its battery can last more than one year. But you still can fall back to manual once the battery goes flat i.e. by pushing and turning a knob on the front of it. I know, it’s painful to fall back to manual since you’ve been spoiled by the touchless operation. There is an LED that tells you its battery level. Be sure to always keep an eye on it for early replacement of battery, so you don’t have to get into the hassle of having to turn the knob for paper. The LED also tells you the paper level, this is what you must check always as it’s simply no fun at all while waving your hand getting no paper. [...]
