    ive got a mat one, which hooks to an electric pump. made by babyliss or something i think. works pretty damn well, comes with remote, there's three settings for varying amounts of bubbles and stuff. got it for about 100e in argos afaik.

    I got my wife a Babyliss one last year for Xmas she was very impressed, I got it in Boots for just over a hundred but they are cheaper now.

    It sounds like the same one you have Seraphina, it has a mat you lay in the bath with suction cups, (only problem is half of over bath has little bumps which can make it tricky to stay down) you run a hose from the mat to the air pump, which you can put on the floor or outside the room there is also plenty of cable with a RCD Breaker switch and a waterproof remote control.

    It certainly feels great, but its very loud not only the sound of the air pump(like a hoover), but also all noise of the bubbles in the water.

    And whatever ever you do don't add bubble bath or such things to the water ( my wife did once!, and the foam wave which followed was comical as we tried to mop up the bathroom)

    Just saw your last post Cormie as a gift for a partner/gf I think its original and you will get lots of brownie points.

    Make sure you dont put bubble bath in, I did in mine and started to nap. When I opened my eyes the bubles were about four feat above water level. Nasty to clean up.

    Ok so I went to Argos and had a look in the catalogue. It's €134!!! That's crazy! The same one (same catalogue number and all) on the argos UK site is £59, which is about €85. But it was reduced from £89 which is about €127. I tried about 4 different boots outlets and didn't see it anywhere.

    However, I saw one in Roches Stores in The Square, Tallaght, for €75.

    Seemed to do the same job except it had only 2 settings low and high relaxation. Had remote and all that too. So I bought it. Hopefully it wont be terrible compared to the Babyliss product. Nearly half the price anyway so here's hoping it does the job. It was a JML product. Anybody have experience with this brand?

    The Jill Jet, invented by the big bloke (Penn) from Penn & Teller
    In July 1999, Jillette was granted U.S. Patent 5,920,923 for the "Jill-Jet", a hot-tub jet specially angled for a woman's pleasure. He has credited Debbie Harry of Blondie for suggesting the idea, as the two of them were once in a hot-tub and Harry made a remark about changing the jets for a woman's pleasure. Jillette liked the idea enough to pursue patent application at the USPTO under the patent title "Hydro-therapeutic stimulator".[19] The abstract of the patent explains that a "discharge nozzle is located within the tub and connected to the outlet, mounted to the seat so that the discharged water from the circulation pump automatically aligns with and is directed to stimulation points (e.g., the clitoris) of the female user when the female user sits in the seat." An article in the June 2006 issue of Playboy shed additional light on the invention. Originally, it was to be called the "ClitJet", however he stated that "Jill-Jet" was more suitable because it included his name in the title.

    On the Penn Radio show, telling the listeners about the photo shoot for the Playboy article, Jillette mentioned that he has a Jill-Jet installed in a tub at "The Slammer", and that several of his female friends and friends' spouses enjoy it a lot, but he is not aware of any other installations of a water jet in such a configuration anywhere else.
