<![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]

Basically,the device attaches to the top of a standard PET water bottle and restricts the flow of water so that it can be dispensed like a shower head when squeezed. Just make sure you don't use that bottle you took a leak in during the car ride—unless you are into that sort of thing. Available for around $50. [Made in Design via Swissmiss via Likecool]

<![CDATA[ Bathe With the Bears Using Sea to Summit's Pocket Shower ]]> 250_pocketshower.jpgUsually camping and showering are either/or activities, but for those of you who absolutely have to cart the body wash and loofah into the wild, the Pocket Shower from Sea to Summit could be for you.


The 2.6 gallon Pocket Shower sports a compact showerhead that operates with twisting on/off valve. Bathers can adjust the stream to produce a slow trickle, or open it up completely for a dousing 8-minute power shower. Want a warm shower for those cool, crisp camping mornings? Leave the black fabric out in the sun.

Alternatively, the Pocket Shower can also be used as a dry sack to transport clothes, a sleeping bag, or those aforementioned beauty products no self-respecting city slicker would be without on the open range. [Sea to Summit]

<![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]

Enter designer Tommaso Colia and his Eco_Drop Shower. When the shower has decided that you have outstayed your welcome, concentric circles on the floor will rise&mdashmaking things too uncomfortable to continue. I don't know if this concept will ever see the light of day, but I vote for modifying it into a moving wall of spikes. Now that would be effective. Additional pic after the break.

<![CDATA[ Shower Head Music Player Cleans And Entertains All At Once ]]> This concept for a combination shower head/MP3 player definitely falls under the unnecessary gadgets category, but that doesn't make it any less cool or imaginiative. The concept consists of a speaker/charging base/shower head holder mounted to the shower wall while the detachable shower head has control buttons for the MP3 device.

While no specifics were given as to how MP3s would be loaded on the device, one would assume an SD card, or similar removable flash media, would be the storage method of choice. If this ever comes out, consider me in, because just looking at it makes me want to start singing in the shower.

Useful for answering the phone mid-shower?

Oh, one thought on that black finish: It could pick up soap and calcium deposits pretty easily. Then again, people who have shower systems like this also have French maids to clean it all up.

<![CDATA[ iSave Faucet Water Counter for your Green Conscience ]]>

The iSave is a rather simple gadget that has just clinched the runner-up prize in Metropolis Magazine's 2007 Next Generation Awards. Attach it to either your sink or a showerhead and it will show you just how much water you are using for your morning's ablutions/scrubbing last night's taco melt off your plates. Designed by Reamon Yu, it's not going to save any water, but it will make you conscious of just how much is used/wasted, and hopefully will push you to further reduce your consumption.

The iSave is powered by a small turbine embedded in the waterflow, so greenies among you need not worry about expending any more energy than you have to. It's not available as yet, but fingers crossed and faucets tight.

If you've got Kohler's other products, like the DTV II or their standalone systems, we're sure it works well with those as well. As if your teenagers didn't spend enough time in the shower. Available later in May.

ESS-Standard is specially created for multi-head showers, and it can control up to three showerheads, letting you input three custom programs that custom-tailor your fave settings.

You can also mount a second control elsewhere in the bathroom, so you can start your shower or run your bath from a distance, getting it all warmed up for you to simply step in. Now if they could just hook this up to a smart home control unit, we could get this thing running from the bed.

This is one of those moments. This is the Vitamin C showerhead from Sonaki - which, apart from giving you an all-over citric tang in the morning, can remove 99 per cent of chlorine and chloramines from your tap water.

Benefits? Well, if you suffer from dry or sensitive skin, have chlorine-based dandruff, or use hair dye, this is for you - just read the testimonials on Sonaki's website. Prices range from $79 to $189, and a 5-pack of filters (each one is good for around 3,000 litres of water) costs $49. Or you could just have your girlfriend squeeze oranges over you - it might be sticky, but it'll be a whole lot more fun.

When Lisa Napoli of the NYTimes asked me what fantasy gadget I wanted most, I didn't hesitate. I told her I really wanted a shower karaoke machine.

Santa, please make me a waterproof karaoke machine, with built in shampoo and soap holder. With an LCD, and wifi that can stream (heh) new tracks down from some buying service. And the microphones should have pitch change, so I can sing both the Diana Ross and Lionel Richie parts of Endless Love. And it should have some sort of digital filter that makes gurgling noises sound like Pavarotti.

Extra points for making a showerhead that doubles as a microphone.

<![CDATA[ Shower Tap Radio In-Shower Radio ]]> Granted, this bath time radio is no Cell processor-powered beast, but it could make a good gift for a family member with a good sense of humor (or a passion for radio). It officially goes by the name of Shower Tap Radio and sticks to the wall of your shower thanks to a suction cup. Then, you tap it to turn the radio on, turn the knob to tune it to your station of choice. One last turn of the dial will adjust the volume. It's powered by two AA batteries and is completely waterproof. Otherwise you'd have quite a mess on your hands.

Again, the Shower Tap Radio probably won't win a Best in Show award at a consumer electronics trade show, but it's simple enough to work as a second or third gift. Plus, it's only $20. Much better than getting your kid a Wii.

The Sentavi Solarium is said by its maker to be easy to install in most bathrooms, where its UV light bulbs are hidden behind a seven-inch deep panel.

The idea is that instead of giving yourself a gigantic dose of ultraviolet rays every two weeks in a tanning bed, you can gradually burn your skin with this unit that simulates sunlight. Either way, by age 60 you're sure to have that leathery cowboy-looking skin of trophy wives from the Hamptons to Malibu. On the plus side, shining that light on yourself is a great source of vitamin D, so there's that.

By the way, we've covered a shower 'n' tanning device from another manufacturer before, but none with pictures this provocative.

<![CDATA[ MP3 Powered Shower ]]> water_cd.jpgRub-a-dub-dub, two Gizmodo writers in a tub, singing some MP3's, getting ready for some CE S. My yearly poem entry, check. Las Vegas CES fantasy, check. This is the CD Shower Companion. It is the latest and greatest in music showering technology.

featuring special aluminum-cone diaphragms, high-compliance suspension rings and powerful neodymium magnets for super-high energy output, low distortion and superior frequency response.

From the picture it appears it supports MP3 CDs, while also having an AM/FM tuner, clock, date, temperature, alarm clock (yeah I've napped in the shower, deal with it), and displays for CD track, radio station, and battery strength. Available for $169.95.

<![CDATA[ Digital Faucets Make Water Extra Happy ]]> visentin-gioielli-klino-faucet-collection.jpg

Why deal with that nasty old shower head that came with the place when you could be showering in luxury with the Visentin Klino Digitech shower system. From Italy with love, this baby's got an integrated water temperature display and gorgeous silver finish. And I think I can safely say its the faucet of champions. Along with this gadget, you can also get yourself a Klino basin single level mixer, Thermo-digitech thermostatic shower mixer with integrated temperature digital display and Glazed Soap Dispenser and Klino Digitech water inlet with integrated temperature digital display + Fly 3 spray shower. Those crazy Italians. Always thinking of new ways to get clean.

<![CDATA[ Sun Denshi Waterproof MP3 Player - Ready for Its Shower Scene ]]> suntac1.jpgWaterproof audio devices are a strange breed. They fill a niche that a lot of us didn't even know we had, namely the desire to place electrical devices near our naked, wet bodies. This 32MB MP3 player—PLEASE NOTE: Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to attach the player to a laptop for music reloading while the shower is operational—looks like a bulbous blue shower bug and even includes a waterproof AC adapter. I'm going to assume it has an FM tuner, but no mention of it appears.
