Many years ago, reports cropped up on the internet stating that prolonged use of heated seats could reduce the sperm count in men. That’s a good thing if you’re into shooting blanks, but now, a new study shows that those toasty bun warmers can cause rashes or even permanent scarring for those of us who like to leave the seat heaters on during long trips through cold climates. This condition, apparently referred to as “Toasted Skin Syndrome,” can even change the color and texture of skin along the lower back, upper legs, and, of course, your butt. So as much as it might be nice to have a nice, warm chair while driving, consider switching those heaters off after your hind quarters have defrosted.

 

I'll never give up my S2000 seat heaters!!! Nor the ones in my RSX-S!!!!

Butt then.... never leave them on too long!

 

I love my bun warmers but I really like my heated steering wheel. No more gloves, it heats up in minutes. I am seeing lots of hot buns at the beach in Naples.

 

Over done buns you say, we have that problem every summer should you leave the top down.

 

I have seat warmers in the Toyota Camry. I have never used them. I prefer to keep my buns in their pristine, fluorescent white condition.

 

I always thought seat warmers were a frivolous option, but my freebie Subaru Outback has them, and I don't know how I ever lived through a north eastern winter without them!

I typically only use them until the car has warmed up and the heater core is delivering warm air.
