This is what cracked me up from ita's link:
There is a virtual communicative relationship built between you and the smart tub
I suggest we give lori a warning. Should I take this to Bureau?
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't leave anything on me that might irritate my skin, because it will.
I can't bathe in anything that might irritate my skin, so it's not much of a practical issue for me.

I don't like baths. I'd have to shower, then soak in the tub, then shower again. Not relaxing. I could probably change my mind for a truly fantastic tub/tub setting (meaning some gorgeous bathroom, not a setting on the Magic Tub ita linked to). But I don't have that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think I have an issue with still water, as well. Because I don't mind warm showers (although I tend more toward hot or cool). Hot tubs = all good.

Dried soap or anything leaving a non-oily residue (like salt stuff or oatmeal bath stuff) will eventually drive me nuts. But in a bath? Nah.
OK, off to depressing when-will-the-layoffs-hit-and-how-many meeting!

Okay, that seating system ROCKS. I'm already pro-pile, but mine doesn't respond to moods.

Also, you can play some sort of yogilates-Twister on it.

Better than a couch to cuddle on is a couch that cuddles you.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Best feature of that bathtub:
Self cleaning: With a simple command from the instrument panel, this function initiates the circulation of water plus detergent through all the Smart Hydro’s internal water-bearing systems and in the interior of the bathtub. When the operation is over, Smart Hydro automatically empties.
[Though I wonder if bath bombs would be a problem for it the way they are for jacuzzis. That would be ungood.]

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I think that bathtub would know more about me than my DH. Scary.
