Brilliant Vado Shower Head Is a Refreshing Squid Attack

Sean Fallon — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:40:00 EDT

It may look like the business end of a squid, but I have a feeling the Sculpture showerhead from Vado would be bad ass in the bathroom.

Think about it—you can set those tentacles up to spray water in any direction. It's kind of like blending elements of traditional shower heads, rain shower heads and those full-body systems that everyone dreams about owning. [Vado via Trendir via DVICE]

Cry About the Nightmare Economy Under Kohler's Flipside Showerhead

matt buchanan — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:20:00 EDT

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]

Cool Shower Head: Rainfall, Waterfall, Rainfall, Waterfall

Sean Fallon — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 21:20:00 EST

Hmmm. Do I want my shower rainfall style or waterfall style? I certainly hope this Aquavolo showerhead from Bossini is sturdy—because I would be flipping back and forth like an idiot. [Bossini via Trendir]

Color-Changing LED Shower Head Actually Purchasable

Jason Chen — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 14:50:00 EDT

The last color-changing, heat-detecting showerhead was some kind of nebulous OEM product from China, but this LED Shower Light is actually purchasable from Thinkgeek. Unlike that one, this only has blue and red, but it works exactly the same: red == hot, blue == cold. Unfortunately, the red in this activates at 89 degrees, which is actually still colder than your body, so unless you like lukewarm showers, this maybe ain't so great after all. [Think Geek]

Bathe With the Bears Using Sea to Summit's Pocket Shower

Jack Loftus — Sun, 11 May 2008 20:00:00 EDT

Usually 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]

Jet Black Digital Showerhead Can Pause H20

Brian Lam — Thu, 17 May 2007 07:38:48 EDT

The fact that the Grohe Ondus faucet-ware is digitally controlled and has a clock is secondary to the fact it comes in a Batman black finish, and that it has a pause button for the shower, which can bring the water flow back at the same temperature you left it at. 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. – Brian Lam

A Gasmask Becomes the Most Terrifying Showerhead Ever

Adam Frucci — Tue, 15 May 2007 14:00:00 EDT

Showers are great and all, but sometimes I wish they could be more terrifying. That's why I like this Gasmask Showerhead. It strikes fear deep into my soul, which is what I look for in a bathroom appliance. It's the details that make it special: the eye-holes hold your soap, and it appears to be coming out of the wall rather than being simply attached to it.

Unsurprisingly, this is a one-time project and isn't available for sale. I guess I'll stick to not peeing myself in fear every time I bathe. Dang. –Adam Frucci
