Swash: the butt-heating, butt-washing toilet

Posted 12.15.2005 by PooperGal
Bidets are practically unknown in the US. So it figures that an American entrepreneur -- one who perhaps doesn't realize that this fine piece of bathroom technology has existed for decades in Europe -- has come up with his parallel-universe invention: The Swash.

The Swash is a toilet that comes equipped with a heated seat to serve as a cheek warmer and a nozzle that provides a cleansing spray of water to remove all traces of poop and piddle from one's posterior. According to inventor Scott Pinnizzotto, owner of the San Francisco-based Brondell, Inc., the Swash is "the next evolution of the toilet."

As if there aren't already heated toilet seats for sale in pretty much every novelty catalogue -- and as if there aren't already add-on bidet conversion kits you can buy from one of PoopReport's own fine sponsors. So personally, I don't see the combining two already-existent conveniences in to one as anything “revolutionary."

But I certainly do approve of the convenience of a triple-purpose shitter that receives your waste, warms your ass, and sprays it minty-clean.

Thanks to Colon Bowell, AssBlaster2000 and Samdamnit! all for tipping us off to this story.

Show some poop support, or make a poop retort.

Do you know what this writeup says to me? It says "We at PoopReport have an exclusive subculture. We alone know better than anyone else the importance of assal comfort. We're offended that this company would try to turn our subculture's values on to the mainstream."

I think that's great. We're an elite group. However, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that our values are for the benefit of all humanity.

Tydirium. My interpretation is "Typical Madison Ave hype, to claim an idea as revolutionary that's been around for a long time. But though it doesn't break new ground, it is convenient packaging." As to it sounding elitist, it's nearly impossible to write up a review of something (movie, book, product...) without taking the position that you know better.

LogJam nailed it. Right on the money.
To bad he didn't get first post this time!

I'd hate to see what would happen if that thing malfunctions while you were taking a shit.

My friend Mark emailed this to me:

"Marc Cuban, internet billionaire and NBA owner, was on the Colbert Report talking about a special biday-type device he was investing in. I believe called the Swisher. If you end up interviewing him on this poop related subject, could you slip in a question about why he, a
pittsburgh raised billionaire, won't buy the PIttsburgh Pirates."

I didn't realize that Cuban was involved. Maybe this is bigger than I thought!

If anyone will get to the "bottom" of this story, it's you, Dave.

As quoted in this article:

"Cuban, who is an old friend of Brondell's other flush co-founder, David Samuel, signed up when he learned about The Swash in October. 'I have always been interested in innovative and cutting edge-technologies coupled with a large market opportunity,' Cuban said in a statement." According to the story, Cuban has sunk 1.3 million into the project.

One can only hope he does not "flush" his 1.3 million dollars down the (opulantly appointed) toilet. I wonder if it comes in a faux fur covering.

I tried the swisher swash but it pooped out within a week. A no charge replacement didn't work any better and pooped out too. The pooped poop cleaner went right into the dumpster. Another try and the aloha brand worked perfect....and is still cleaning ass.

healthy 1 (1423) -- 11.23.2006

Assmantoo, how much did the swisher cost?

I think this is just another invention to make us even lazier than we already are. Maybee I am too old fashioned, but I would rather clean my butt, vs a machine doing it for me.

Maybe Scott Pinnizzotto just needs to join Poop Report. Perhaps he's been searching for us his entire life.
