Shower

Mountain bikes have a way of getting muddy, while their riders have a way of getting dirty and sweaty. The latest offering from outdoor gear company RinseKit was designed with these facts in mind, as it combines a tailgate pad and a shower.

Imagine taking a shower or washing your hair on-the-go, indoors or outdoors, without any dripping water or the need for a towel to dry off. The makers of Yoomiily promise just that, with what they say is the world's first portable shower/dryer.

You don't need the full force of the water for every second that you're in the shower, but turning it up and down at the taps can be tricky. That's where the Reva shower head comes in, as it automatically reduces the flow whenever you step back.

While there are now quite a few Bluetooth speakers that can be used in the shower, they all periodically need to be taken out and recharged. The Shower Power speaker is different, in that it's continuously powered by the running shower water.

If you're dirty and sweaty from performing an outdoor activity, it's understandable that you don't want to drive home that way. Wouldn't it be nice if you could take a hot shower first? Well, the portable Geyser System lets you do so – depending on how you define the word "shower."

​The bathroom is one of the last bastions of privacy, where we can belt out a tune in the shower, soak in the tub, or primp and preen ourselves without judgement. To help your friends and family make the most of that precious personal time, we’ve rounded up some of the best bathroom gift ideas.

A new eco-friendly take-with-you shower is being developed by Japanese company Hotaru. Relying on the company's water purification system, it delivers great pressure and can run on 5 gal (20 L) of water for two weeks.

The team behind Hydrao is aiming to build awareness around water wastage, with an LED-equipped shower head that changes colors when you're plenty clean enough.​​

Recently, showers like the Nebia and the Hamwell's e-Shower have launched to help us save water when showering. The WaterDrop foldable watering can, however, takes a much simpler approach. It is designed to collect the average 3.5 l (0.8 gal) of water we waste waiting for the shower to warm up.​

In the move toward sustainable homes, the progress of showers has been more of a trickle. Ten minutes in a traditional shower can use up to 100 l (22 gal) of water. The Hamwells e-Shower, however, promises high pressure and volume, while saving up to 90 percent on water and 80 percent on energy.

We're really beginning to like singing (or arguing with out favorite podcasts) in the shower, thanks to the Splash Tunes Pro waterproof shower speaker from FresheTech. This small, unassuming suction cup-mounted Bluetooth speaker delivers a surprising amount of sound in a speaker that costs US$70.

Eva, a Bluetooth-connected shower head that just hit Indiegogo for crowdfunding, aims to cut shower water consumption in half by making sure water only pours down when you actually need it, paying for itself in just one year in the average household of four.
