SAN FRANCISCO — Scott Pinizzotto is used to the giggles whenever he brings up high-tech toilet seats that rinse and warm people's bottoms. Yet he continues to believe he's sitting on a potential gold mine.
"This is the next evolution of the toilet," Pinizzotto said of the Swash, an upscale seat made by his San Francisco startup, Brondell Inc. "We are trying to educate people that there is a more hygienic and comfortable way to go to the bathroom."
Introduced nearly a year ago, the Swash is designed to transform a run-of-the-mill toilet into a bidet — a device that cleanses with a spray of warm water, relieving people from the hassles of toilet paper. The Swash features heated seats, too, and its top-of-line model also comes with a warm-air dryer and a remote control.
Pampering the posterior isn't cheap. The Swash retails for $429 to $549, yet sales have risen by nearly 50 percent every three months, said Pinizzotto, the company's co-founder and chief executive.

There's hassles with toilet paper?
No, Sears still provides it free.
How does one know if it did the job properly and completely?
A computer chip does a read out and repeats the process if needed.
I wish they made taller toliets....I am tired of the toliets at my ankles.....sinks at my knee's...showerhead's just below my shoulder......
What's next, something to squeeze you, so you don't have to "push?"
I'm having a "Larry the Cable Guy" moment.
For you. Merry Christmas.
Throughout my military career in aviation maintenance I always taught my Marines that working on airplanes is a lot like taking a dump: the job isn't done till the paperwork is completed, CORRECTLY!
LOL!
Geesh, Im all for personal hygiene, but, (no pun intended), its a sad day when one can't wipe their own a$$.
MM
After 30 years of marriage, you'd think my wife and daughter would have learned to put the seat back up when they are finished.
