Rub-A-Dub-Dub, Don't Take This Mouse in the Tub

Rosa Golijan — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 23:30:00 EDT

We've seen soap shaped like mice, now in a case of life imitating art imitating a rodent imitating a Dove bar we've got the M-SP1UR Soap optical mouse. A plain three-button mouse that looks like soap-on-a-rope. [AkihabraNews via CNET]

Sean Fallon — Fri, 15 May 2009 19:00:00 EDT

Molded like brass knuckles, this soap is perfect for punching away the memories of the night before, purifying your body and spirit with a mixture of soap and pain. [SPYE via Likecool]

Wiimote Soap: So Nice I May Bend to Pick It Up

Jesus Diaz — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:19:00 EDT

Made of coconut oil carried by African swallows, cocoa butter, palm oil, and lots of slippy bubblicious love, comes the Wiimote soap. And it looks so slippretty that I'm actually spending $10 on it. bubble

The Wiimote Soap is the last of a long list of soaps based on controllers, like the Xbox 360 and the NES. OK, a long list of two. But then you have the iPod soap too, with its frothwheel. [Etsy via Gadget Venue via Geeky Gadgets]

Get Clean And Enjoy An iPhone Fresh Scent

Sean Fallon — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 13:40:00 EDT

I like to feel clean—that's why I take my showers in the pristine wilderness underneath a waterfall that is pure and untainted by man. But I've ditched the Irish Spring for this iPhone soap.

*Sniff* ahh...nothing is more invigorating than an iPhone fresh scent—which, incidentally, smells like Mojito and Tropical Mango. And nothing lathers quite as well on my delicate skin like buttery Apple engineering. Experience it now for $8. [Etsy via Geeky Gadgets]

Xbox 360 Soap: Rated C for Clean

Mark Wilson — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 18:20:00 EDT

I know my soaps, OK? I love a good, $20 chunk of scented lye that melts away after a few blissful showers. Meanwhile, video games are pretty fantastic, too.

So naturally, I'm drawn to this $12 Xbox 360 soap spotted on Etsy. Even more detailed than the NES/PS2 game controller soaps we've seen in the past, you could totally hand this bar to player two without them knowing the difference...until their hands became baby-soft and began to smell like freshly cut flowers and spring rain.

For $5, You Can Clean Your Ass With an iPod

Jason Chen — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 19:30:00 EDT

You have the choice of orange and blue, and they smell like "ocean truffles" and "ocean breeze", respectively. Am I the only one who's ever wanted to put an iPod in my crack? No? [Etsy]

Console Controller Soaps Wash Up Your Sweaty Gaming Hands

John Mahoney — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 11:20:00 EST

Brilliant soap maker (soapsmith? soapist?) Digitalsoaps sells bars molded as gaming controllers. The blue olive oil NES controllers are sold out, but you can still get one in orange glycerine, or go for PlayStation.

Check out the Etsy shop here—they're all around five bucks. [Digitalsoaps - Etsy via BBG]

Double Click Your Body to Cleanliness With the Soap Mouse

Elaine Chow — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 01:30:26 EST

We've seen washable mouses and mouses you don't need to wash before, but have you ever thought of possibly washing yourself with a mouse?

This soap from a Taiwan retailer is for people who can't bear to leave their computer peripherals behind... even in the shower. It's only $5.75 to alert all your roommates to your creepy mouse infatuation. [Zakka]

Weener Kleener Soap Ring (SFW)

Brian Lam — Thu, 17 May 2007 04:39:10 EDT

I don't know what kind of world we live in where an inventor is coming up with a) new ways to shape bars of soap b) a device that increases the efficiency of me pulling on my weener for the sake of hygiene c) a package for said product with copywriting that displaces all my $.99 jokes.

I guess this is a whole lot kinder than the other gadget I can think of that could be used to clean my privates. (Dyson vac with hose attachment.) – Brian Lam

Simplehuman Sensor Soap Pump vs. Old Squeeze Bottle

Brian Lam — Thu, 03 May 2007 11:07:14 EDT

I think this IR touchless soap dispenser is awesome. The main reason is that when I'm washing dishes, I can re-soap the sponge without squeezing a bottle or hitting a pump. The soap flow is adjustable, depending on how much fluid you want dispensed, and how viscous a soap you're using. The pump even has a timer that blinks for 20 seconds, which is generally how long it takes to get icky germs off of your hand. (To turn it on, you can flip the manual dispenser button while flipping it on.) $40 bucks. – Brian Lam

Jason Chen — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 16:40:26 EDT

Really savor the feeling of using sinks in public bathrooms? Now you can get halfway there with this infrared soap dispenser. All you need to do is add 4 AA batteries, pour in some liquid soap, spray some pee around and below the rim of the toilet, smear poop in the wall next to where you wrote your phone number in Sharpie, and voila, you're good to go.

How'd that one about George Michael's latest release go again? – Jason Chen

Brando Soap MP4 Player: Good Clean Fun?

Charlie White — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 08:49:19 EST

Brando rolled out a digital media player that's low-priced ($99) but still holds two gigs of your favorite songs in its flash memory. It's aptly named the Soap MP4, because it looks like a bar of soap after you've used it for a week or two. Oh, I mean, it must have good clean sound.

It works like an iPod, plugging into USB, but it brings more features as well, such as an OLED color screen, FM radio, voice recording and the ability to watch MPEG4 movies. Here's another pic of the white player with its black brother, plus a bit of harmless scatological humor:

For some reason this player reminded us of that bar of soap that looks like poop. At this low $99 price, we're wondering if this is poop that looks like a bar of soap. – Charlie White

Poop Soap

Jason Chen — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 14:00:33 EST

Fun for both kids and the demented, this soap may be shaped like poo, but unlike real poo, it cleans your hands instead of dirtying them. It took me eight years of my life to learn this concept. And it wasn't even the first eight years!

"Nope It's Soap" is coffee scented and can even be used as a exfoliator. Each dookie is hand-made and unique, giving it that extra bit of realness. Great for your kids, or husband, who never seem to want to wash their hands. – Jason Chen

Vibrating Automatic Soap: One Less Barrier to Cleanliness

blongo3 — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 19:05:26 EST

So here at Gizmodo, we're not exactly opposed to washing regularly. It's just that it's such a pain in the ass to have to keep moving the soap back and forth just to get a decent lather going. But now we'll be much cleaner, thanks to Vibrating Soap.

The idea is that when you pick up the soap, it goes into vibration mode automatically. Then, while it is in your filthy little hands, it creates a nice soapy lather all by itself. Apparently the vibration mechanism is placed deep within the bar of soap (Where else would you put it?).

While this is great for us dirty blogging types, we cannot recomend this for our readers behind bars. Your soap is already slippery enough, and in your dangerous bathrooms it could lead to a terrible situation. See the soap in action after the jump.

The iPod Looks Like a Bar of Soap, Kind of

Travis Hudson — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 15:29:35 EDT

So I can understand the simple mistake that was made when Sean received his shrink-wrapped iPod from Smalldog.com, and opened it to find a couple bars of soap and some cheap batteries.

After a quick call to the Smalldog customer service, and a laughing at by the representative, Sean had a replacement on the way. Check out the entire story over at the Consumerist. – Travis Hudson

SquidSoap Tells You When You're Done Washing Your Hands

Jason Chen — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 19:15:00 EDT

Made for kids—though we all know a few people who could use a lesson in hand washing—the SquidSoap inks your palm when you press down to dispense soap. After you've washed your hands enough to remove the ink-stamp, that means you're done scrubbing.

Available in a 4-pack for $15.99. – Jason Chen

Soap Genie Kills Bacteria with Style

Travis Hudson — Tue, 14 Feb 2006 16:28:19 EST

The Soap Genie will automatically dispense soap or lotion of your choice by using IR technologies to sense a hand presence. What makes this so much better than the average automatic soap dispenser is that it plays a jingle while dispensing. Additionally it has a no-drip technology to prevent a puddle of old soap from forming on the ground. This is available or a reasonable (considering it is from Shaper Image) $39.95.
