<![CDATA[Cry About the Nightmare Economy Under Kohler's Flipside Showerhead]]> Marketing a $130 handshower as a recession-friendly bathroom upgrade is pretty ballsy, but, if there's anywhere I'd weep about losing my retirement, it'd be under the Flipside's "layer of dense, soft, enveloping downpour of relaxation."

The Flipside has four separate modes, which you pick from by simply flipping the shower head like a coin, instead of trying to grab that annoying ring most adjustable showerheads use:

•Koverage – for a traditional, everyday shower with maximum water coverage that is perfect for
the morning shower routine
• Kotton – streams a layer of dense, soft, enveloping downpour of relaxation that caresses your
skin
• Komotion – a drenching spray that delivers an exhilarating, circular pattern to refresh the senses
after a tightly-wound day
• Kurrent – provides a focused and invigorating massage spray to target tired or aching muscles

And obviously you can re-purpose the modes for whatever else you can think of. My mom said the first thing she always did when she moved in somewhere new was replace the crappy showerhead, so maybe this isn't the worst time ever to sell this thing, at least to people taking advantage of the real estate crash to buy new digs.

Update: Apparently, it's going to have a list price of $107, meaning you can find it for even cheaper. [Kohler]

<![CDATA[Hand Charge Your Floating Musical Orgel Spa Ball]]> This Orgel Spa is a floating, hand cord-charged ball that plays one song and one song only. It's waterproof, goes into your bath, and is supposed to give you three minutes of relaxation.

The downside is that it's $20. This would be great if you could somehow load your own MP3s on there and play it back, but it is pretty cool. As is, it'll only be a few baths before you get tired of the song and wonder why there's a pink think floating in your water. [Sega Toys via Crunchgear]

<![CDATA[LED Bath Temperature Floaty 10x More Useful and Beautiful Than Rubber Ducky]]> This watertight, multicolor LED housing sits in a bath and changes hues according to water temperature. Simple and a lot more effective than a simple faucet mounted sensor that will not compensate for cooling off periods. But not as simple as dipping your toe into the water. If this were it, I'd probably recommend that this concept never see the light of day, but it also can be switched into a candle mode. [Yanko]

<![CDATA[AquaRain Bath Fountain Puts on a Show Using Your Bathwater]]> I've never found bath time boring enough to need a water fountain and a light show, but in case you hate not being reminded of the Bellagio every time you step into the tub, the AquaRain is here to allay your washroom ADD. The AquaRain floats in your bathtub and pumps bathwater through its jets to create a fountain effect. Four LED lights—red, purple, blue and white—can be remixed to turn your shower into a rave. On sale at Japan Trend Shop for $49, hilarious Engrish included. [Japan Trend Shop via Gizmo Diva]

<![CDATA[Brando's Cyber Tap Radios Suck (Onto Your Shower Cubicle)]]> Brando's Cyber Tap bath-time radio is not massively high-tech, sure, but its cuteness is undeniable. Stick its 4.7-inch sucker onto tiles or glass, adjust FM/AM frequency and twirl the volume tap to boogie away to showertime music. Is the red one more suited to Hot Gossip while the blue one's best for Coldplay? Who knows, but after a bad joke like that you'll be pleased to know the water-resistant, battery-powered Cyber Tap costs $16. [Brando]

<![CDATA[Waterproof PSP Bath Bag Is Every 9-Year-Old's Wet Dream]]> As Adrian pointed out, if we had these PSP bath bags when we were nine, we'd be a whole lot cleaner and a whole lot wrinklier than we are now. It's a bag. It holds your PSP. It goes into baths. That's pretty much all you need to know. It's unclear to us why you couldn't just get a sandwich bag from Target that would do the same thing, but sandwich bags don't have that fancy pants cord at the top. Does the PSP camera work with Skype video? Because we have an idea... [Impress via PSP Fanboy via Kotaku]

<![CDATA[Rotator Bath-cum-Shower (Stop Sniggering at the Back) is Confusing]]> I have a soft spot for Ron Arad. His Bookworm bookshelf was the first piece of designer furniture I craved (admittedly, this might have been due to the fact that it was up on the wall in the apartment of a boy I craved.) He has me confused now, though, with his this design for a bathtub-shower-thingie that ever-so-slightly reminds me of this crazy wall sculpture from last year. Called Rotator, it transforms from shower to bath and back again, but there's something about its continuous trickle of water that makes me want to... hang on, back in a bit.

Ah, that's better. The Rotator is made of some kind of substance called duralight® (important enough for a "registered" symbol, but not important enough for capitals, that's, like, profound.) It's on show at this week's Salone di Mobile in Milan, or the Furniture Fair if you're a pleb like me who can't speak Italian, and, aspazzarently, it is "a new enjoyable experience in which a continuous and unexpected flow of water becomes the protagonist." Is anyone else finding it hard to get a handle on its proportions? It looks Lilliputian in size to me. Ah well, file alongside the self-stirring cuppa, I think. [Dezeen]

<![CDATA[Bathtub Bookcase Is Perfect Match for Stairs Bookcase]]> If you thought London's apartment stair bookcase was the coolest thing since Martha Stewart introduced you to vacuum-packing underpants with you still inside, check this beautiful bathtub bookcase (or vice versa) by Italian company Antonio Lupi. Part of the Biblio collection, it's made in wood and corian, the adamantium-hard material made by Dupont. And as their giant UFO and boat after the jump show, it's not their only cool bathtub.

They are call Vasabarca and Arca, respectively. The price range goes from frackinghell to yougottabekidding. [Antonio Lupi via Aqua—in Spanish, gracias Fernando]

<![CDATA[Moody Acquario: Bathing With The Fishes]]> There is something about aquariums that is just plain cool—and the Moody Acquario is definitely a cool bathtub. While I can see where the designers got the idea, the logic behind the $14,500 price tag is a little harder to fathom. I mean, the design itself is pretty basic and it doesn't look all that comfortable to sit in. Plus, you have all of those fish quietly laughing at your whale-like physique or less-than-impressive manhood. [Giant.co.uk via Apartment Therapy via Born Rich]

<![CDATA[Rubber Duck With Remote Control: Bathtime Gets More Fun]]> Playing rubber duck battleships in the bath (you do that, don't you?) will be more sophisticated now you can remote control your duck. This one has twin propellers, so you can steer him around, backwards and forwards from the waterproof remote. Ok, so it's not quite so much fun as some bath ducks for adults, but it will be handy for amusing your kids. Available now for around $27. [Technabob]

<![CDATA[Bath-O-Matic Fills Your Tub for $8000]]> Fine, it's a little more complex than that. The Bath-O-Matic from Unique Automation is an automated bathtub filler that draws a bath just the way you like it. Through a touch screen interface, bathers can choose the temperature and height of the water, as well as any combination of oils, bubbles and fragrances.


The Bath-O-Matic is equipped to run on home automation equipment from AMX and Crestron if you want to fill your tub from the comfort of your couch, and can fit on tubs both old and new. It also includes a motorized plug so no water is wasted, and adjusts to pressure and outside temperature so you won't have to worry about getting burned. Just slap a toaster and an iPod on this baby, and I think we have a real winner. It sells for 4000 (about $8000) so you better get one before supplies run out. [Bath-O-Matic via CE Pro]

<![CDATA[Paw Jacuzzi]]> We enjoy dogs as much as the next person, but giving them a little paw jacuzzi to warm and wash their mitts is a bit far. Sure, 5800 yen ($48) isn't that much to pay for a good soak, but c'mon. This is a dog. He won't know the difference between a paw jacuzzi and you filling up your sink with hot water.

<![CDATA[Digital Bath Spout Cover Keeps Kids From Crying About the Bathwater]]> Instead of manually checking the water with your hands to make sure it's not too warm or cold, just plop on this digital bath spout cover and be done with it. The easy-to-read display shows both the temperature in number form and in color form. Once you get your water just right, dump your child inside and get back to blog surfing.

Even though we have no kids of our own, we still really want one of these. We swear we've burned our peepees for the last time, Trebek.

<![CDATA[Sok Overflowing Bath Looks Great 'Til You Get In]]> The sok Overflowing Bath from Kohler looks so nice that it should be some sort of crime for your fat, naked ass to ruin the beauty of it by clogging the drain with pubes and littering the serene surface with bath toys. It's designed for two people, so you'll also need to find someone willing to take a bath with you.

It sure looks nice though, doesn't it? It can be yours for $6,000.

<![CDATA[Starfish Bath Sensor Notifies You When Your Tub Overflows With Boiling Water]]> Personally I've always been a shower guy, but this Starfish Bath Sensor may make me switch it up once in a while, if I could get past the "soaking in my own filth" aspect. The Starfish has a water sensor so you can let your bath water go while you're getting your bubbles, music, and booze ready for a long soak. When the water level rises to hit the Starfish, it'll notify you via a sound—do starfish make sounds?

Also, the temperature sensor tells you exactly what the water temperature is, preventing you from burning your delicates. The Starfish is powered by 2 AAA batteries, and you can pick one up for $17.99.

<![CDATA[Suntac Bath-Time iPod Speakers]]> Is there any other any other time of the day with your kids more painful than bath-time? Maybe diaper-changing-time, but I'm sure bath-time comes in a close second. Not anymore, with the Suntac iPod speaker case. Now you can distract your spawn with the soundtrack to Dora the Explorer while you clean their grubby, booger covered fingers.

The speakers are powered by the iPod, iPod Nano, and iPod Mini, and the four included batteries. There's also an AC adapter, but we're guessing that it's not such a good idea to plug this in while in the tub. The speakers also work at the beach or in the pool, wherever there's water. Or on dry land, if you're some kind of dry land music-loving weirdo.

Available now from Japan for $42 plus shipping.
