In hygiene and health, the aspect of comfort is often overlooked. Comfort should be considered an integral part of hygiene because a comfortable body will be able to adapt to changes more efficiently and therefore achieve higher state of health. Comfort need not be complicated. It may take simple forms such as a warm toilet seat, preferably one that is pre-warmed before use. This is not as extravagantly luxurious as it sounds. The Ultratouch Heated Toilet Seat was made to increase the comfort of toileting. It is adapted in order to reduce the problem of disturbed toileting due to discomfort from cold. For all the technology we put into making us more comfortable, a warm toilet seat is not too much to ask.
The Ultratouch heated toilet seat is made from the same “soft to the touch plastic” that is used on soft handle toothbrushes and pens. This gives it a foam padded feeling which is smooth and comfortable. It also has the Ultra Fresh anti microbial agent built in to the plastic which retards bacterial growth. It also preserves the toilet seat because it prevents staining and fading caused my bacteria. This alone makes the Ultratouch toilet seat stand out against others of its kind.
The warmth from the Ultratouch toilet seat is provided by a 12 volt transformer which is safely sealed in the design. It provides an average of 95 degree Fahrenheit warmth in a 70 degree Fahrenheit room, which is the preferred level for most users. Unlike thermoplastic toilet seats that use your own body heat to keep the seat warm, this temperature is generated when the lid is kept down so that the toilet seat is warmed before you use it. There is even an option for a 16.5 or 18 volt transformer for areas where the temperature is unusually cold or for those who prefer keeping the toilet cover up. The power required is only 15 Watts, which translates to only a few cents more in your electric bill. The product also has built in safety measures to ensure that using electricity near wet areas is risk-free.
The Ultratouch Heated Toilet seat is installed much like a standard toilet seat, with the only concern is having a power outlet need enough to the commode to plug in the power source. The dimensions are the standard measurements for toilet seats of 16 ½ inches, while a fit for elongated toilets is available at 18 ½ inches for more comfort. It also features quick release hinges for easier cleaning and maintenance.
The Ultratouch toilet seats are available for order online. These the standard price is 80 dollars, excluding shipping. When placing orders, specifications may be made regarding the transformer power preferred and the size of the toilet seat. Different colors are also available in order for the new warm toilet seat to not just be comfortable but also harmonize with the overall theme and feel of the bathroom.
