You should have visited that joint where you and Leon like to go for Mex! That could have started the ball rolling...


What was funny was when we were installing the handicap bars around the

Butt Spa, I sat, fully clothed, on the seat (which automagically opens

when you approach the beast) to judge the correct height of said bars,

and it warmed up the butt end my jeans considerably ... a strange sensation.


Wait... WHAT? It has a butt heater, too? No kidding? How cold can a plastic seat get? Of course, I guess it doesn't have to be that old sometimes to interrupt the initial "flow" of things. Is it 110V, plugged in behind the unit? Does the lid close by itself as well? Inquiring minds need to know.

All that thing needs is a washer nozzle and it would be perfect.


110v, dedicated GFCI ... I simply rerouted the dedicated GFCI circuit
that was designated for the old Jacuzzi tub.

The both lids programmably open and close automagically. They/it opens
when you walk up, programmable for either for male or female, and closes
the same a few minutes after you walk away.

Totally programmable, for heating, washing, wiping, drying, (and
possibly kissing?) with remote control, for two users.

Not one washer nozzle but two, one for the butt, the other for the more
delicate female unit ... either, or both remotely programmable at the
push of the button.

Here's a similar unit:

I am impressed it was installable. I don't stray much off the path these days having had to jackhammer up a piece of slab, replace/relocate the lead drain boot/bowl ring for a fancy turbo flush monster in a house. Now I let the client pick out the toilet as I too was assured that the toilet was a "universal fit" to existing dimensions. Nope. Another expensive lesson for yours truly.

No kidding... a heated seat. I had heard of them but never actually knew of someone installing one.


The thing is scary. When you see those nozzles come out, you start
worrying about keeping any virginity you might possess!

I hope Kathy doesn't find that as an after market install.


I have, wisely, refused to let Linda see it in operation.
