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.
