HIA 07: Crazy toilets invade Australia
We hear about lots of crazy toilets around here, but rarely do we get to see them in the flesh in Australia. But down at the HIA Home Show 2007 we found out the Royalet super seats is available to make your bum a more hygienic place!
The seat installs onto your standard toilet, and gives you all the functions your rectum has been weeping for needs (too early on a Monday for that imagery). Washing, heating, deodorising, massaging, drying… you even set the water and seat temp. Good times await.
As much as the local wholesaler offered to let us sell you these seats through our site (seriously, they really did), we’d rather put you in touch with real toilet aficionados. Go check out everything you need to know right here. Prices from $690 for the Excellence, to $1275 for the Elite Aromatic. Mmmm, so fragrant.

The first time I saw one of these babies in a Japanese hotel, I laughed myself silly. Then I saw whole display walls of bum-washers in the electronics shops in Akihabara. Amazing.
Puts me in mind of the old heated toilet seats we used to sell in Dick Smith Electronics (where I worked while I was at high school and uni). We had a demo dunny set up in the store to show how the heated toilet seat could be easily installed. One day, the inevitable happened – a little girl used the toilet, in full view of everybody in the shop. I guess that’s why the demo unit at the home show had a clear plastic cover over the bowl.
The cover helped stop the water from spraying up everywhere when being demo’ed too! :-)
Mate, just how HIGH would it spray? I mean, are these things comfortable to use, or a little, um, invasive?
So, how about a user review, not just a photo from a trade show? Seamus?
Yet ridiculously enough, no-one has bothered to introduce a comfortable elongated toilet to Australia for the guys who suffer here.
