  • the hinge 2 or the hinges 2 are vibration-damped.
  • the toilet lid 1 is designed shell-shaped with a lateral wall 14 which, together with the lateral wall 14, delimits receiving chambers 6 for massage cushions 7, 8, 9.
  • the massage pads 7, 8, 9 are actuated by preferably two to eight independently controlled motors.
