New Toilet Seat Has Hot Air, Warm Water
<snip>

SAN FRANCISCO -- A San Francisco entrepreneur isn't out to warm your heart. He's interested in a lower part of the anatomy.

Scott Pinizzotto's Swash is a high-tech, heated toilet seat.

The Swash is also a wash. A warm water spray eliminates the need for paper to wipe with.

The top-of-line model even comes with a warm-air blower to dry those tender parts. But you'll have to watch your bottom line to pamper your posterior.

Swash models retail for about $440 to $550.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban recently invested $1 million in the startup company that makes Swash.
