One of the busiest rooms in any home is the bathroom. Everyone uses it while preparing for the day or at night for bed. The fixtures in the bathroom are the most-used in the house, yet they rarely get upgraded.

Toilets are often standard, designed for the basic function they are used for. They’re not designed for comfort, or to fit the different phases in a woman’s life, especially during pregnancy.

The Uncle Brown Smart Toilet ST12U was designed to be a practical upgrade that is comfortable and hygienic, and is not a gimmicky luxury toilet.

Built From Real-Life Needs

Uncle Brown, a veteran engineer, was inspired to design a smart toilet when he observed the struggles of his niece, Sarah, who was in her third trimester. He realized that modern technology, especially in the bathroom, wasn’t made to help her deal with the physical challenges of pregnancy.

Uncle Brown worked at his workbench to create technology that would give moms “Safe Zones” and give them “dignity, comfort, and effortless hygiene.” Though his starting point was to address the needs of mothers, the toilet also benefits growing families.

Health And Hygiene

The Uncle Brown Smart Toilet ST12U features smart toilet healthy technology that maintains the cleanliness of the fixture. It uses three different technologies for a more hygienic experience.

UVC-Clean Water

The toilet uses ultraviolet (UV-C) light to treat the water that is used by the built-in bidet function. UVC-light is used to reduce microorganisms in the water before it’s used in the washing process. The cleaner water is used by the toilets' front and back bidet stream, which is important when it comes to daily feminine hygiene.

PlasmaClean Air Sterilization

After someone uses the smart toilet, it releases ionized particles (plasma) into the bowl. The ionized particles break down airborne contaminants and odor-causing molecules, reducing lingering odors and keeping the bathroom fresher without masking fragrance sprays.

Foam Shield Technology

One of the other unique features of the Uncle Brown Smart Toilet ST12U is the foam shield technology that acts as a barrier between waste in the bowl and air. A thin layer of foam sits on the water that reduces splashing, odor release, and residue buildup inside the bowl.

Comfort Features

The Uncle Brown Smart Toilet ST12U was designed with women in mind, especially when it comes to the bidet features. The water temperature and pressure are adjustable to provide comfortable cleaning. The spout’s position can also be adjusted for a precise stream.

A bidet is more gentle than toilet paper, which is good for those with sensitive skin. Once someone uses the bidet, the toilet has a warm air dryer with a temperature control. Bidets reduce toilet paper use, making it a sustainable option.

Another comfort feature of the smart toilet for women is the heated seat. There is even a night light in the toilet. A warm bidet for women during pregnancy is especially beneficial during the winter months and in colder areas

The hands-free design of the toilet includes an automatic lid that opens and closes, automatic flushing, and remote-control operation. These features are especially helpful to women during their pregnancy and postpartum recovery.

Many luxury smart toilets cost several thousand dollars, but the Uncle Brown Smart Toilet ST12U is priced around $1,000, making it more accessible. For those homeowners looking for long-term value, upgrading to the Uncle Brown Smart Toilet ST12U might be a sensible choice.
