$330 Toilet seat

And it isn't even being purchased by the Government!

http://www.amazon.com/Brondell-Luxury-Toilet-Elongated-S400-EW/dp/B0009PBPP0/ref=xs_gb_20_right-3_1.0_19291





Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The Swash line of advanced toilet seats combines the latest innovation and design to bring you a new level of luxury and hygiene while reducing or eliminating the use of ineffective toilet paper. The Swash replaces your existing toilet seat and can be self installed in less than 1 hour. The seat bidet offers tremendous health benefits to all users. Its hygienic warm water posterior wash offers a gentle and effective cleansing spray, eliminating the need for harsh toilet paper. The feminine wash offers benefits to pregnant, menstruating, and sexually active women, leaving them shower fresh after each use. The Swash features also afford senior citizens and those suffering from debilitating illness such as arthritis a hands-free bathroom experience that can provide independence and restore dignity. The product's user-friendly controls are also great for children. With its heated seat, posterior and feminine warm-water washes and convenient side-mounted control panel, the Swash 400 provides affordable luxury to any bath. Like the Swash 600, this model incorporates a reservoir to heat the warm water washes and a gentle-closing seat and lid.

I don't think life would be the same w/o getting a little poop on one's hand every once in a while!

What I need on some occasions is an automatic plunger! Or maybe something like a garbage disposal for the shltter, if you get my drift.

I've always wondered what you do with your wet bottom after using something like this. Do you use your face towels to dry off?

I could be wrong, I've never used anything but TP, myself, but I think you use the water and your hand to get stuff clean (your hand is used in place of a washcloth). You'll want to really wash that hand well when you're done.

That's why, I believe it's Arabs, that would never shake hands with a left hand or eat with a left hand or really much else...

I don't know about anybody else, but I'm pretty sure my cats would figure out how to turn it into a drinking fountain in a couple of days

Someone's going to have to remind me how this is a more sanitary option than TP. It sounds like I'm just wiping with my hand. Blech.

Think of all the money you can save by not having to buy TP

The "used" ones have probably never been installed; after someone paid $300 for the toilet seat, they decided they didn't want to pay another $800 for the installation!

You're going to need a water and electrical hook-up to that seat.

That doesn't sound like the best combination to me, think I'll just stick with my hand and the TP, this is an extremely over engineered product.

Last thing I want is to get fried on the shltter!

Yep, its the moslems who use the left hand to "clean themselves" in this area. No, they do not use any paper, its all a manual operation. When in this neck of the woods you do not use your left hand at all. Its considered "unclean" to touch anything with it.

You really should see the bathrooms after they get finished. Water spashed everywhere, and its a complete mess.

Thats why if someone is caught stealing in this area their right hand is cut off so that they can still "clean themselves." If they are caught a second time their left hand is cut off and its all up to them.

Personally I am still fond of TP.

Joe,
If they consider it unsanitary, WTF don't they use TP or is this just a moslem thing. Would they still consider it unsanitary. Do they hold their penis with the left hand as well or get some chick to do that for them?

Probably more information that I really need to know

I'll let know how hard it is to hook up, I bought the mans version But it was closer to $500, and yes, it does have a drying feature as well as heated seat.

Old joke...


A man traveling by plane was in urgent need of a restroom facility. But each time he tried, it was occupied. The flight attendant, aware of his predicament, suggested he use the attendant's ladies room, but cautioned him not to press any of the buttons.

There next to the paper roll were four buttons marked: WW WA PP ATR.

Making the mistake soooo many men make of not listening to a woman, he disregarded what she said when his curiosity got the best of him.

He carefully pressed the WW button and immediately a gentle flush of Warm Water sprayed on his bare bottom. He thought "Wow" these gals really have it nice!!

So a little more boldly he pressed the WA button and body temperature Warm Air blew across his wet bottom and dried it comfortably.

"Aha" he thought, "no wonder these women take so long in the bathroom with these kinds of services!"

So he pushed the next button PP with anticipation. A soft disposable Powder Puff swung below him and dusted his bottom lightly with talc.

"Man, this is great," he thought as he reached out for the ATR button.

When he awoke in the hospital, the morphine was just wearing off...confused he buzzed the nurse to find out what happened.

When she appeared, he cried out, "What happened to me?! The last thing I remember is I was in the ladies room on a business trip!"

The nurse replied, "Yes, you were having a great time until you pressed the 'ATR' button which stands for Automatic Tampon Remover... Your penis is under your pillow!"

The Japanese are obsessed with bathroom hygene. Take a look on the web.
