So err... not only is that easily replicated by poking a bunch of holes in a cap like takemetoyourtoaster mentioned, but you know, I tend to use more water than a little jug of water when i take a shower.

shamoononon

so now I can do those Herbal Essence commcerials anywhere? AWSHOME!

carmen89

For 15$ you could buy me a 12 pack and Ill turn into a heated shower, bacteria free.

MONSTERGOC

Of course! If I tooled together a fkin lid for a PET bottle with some holes in it I would totally charge 2-300x the manufacturing price for it!

If you buy this thing post a comment here and I will personally come home to you and take a dump in your closet!!

DanLar75

Take two 2-liter soda bottles.

Remove the caps.

Throw one of the bottles away (or recycle it, you fucking hippie)

Poke a couple holes in one of the caps with a nail and a hammer.

I just saved you $48.57 (not including CRV).

I'm really not sure how that promo photo shows off the product. The liquid is coming out like mouse pissing...and hes not showering...hes filling the moat on his sand castle? what? Fail.

Jesustron

$50 bucks seems a little steep to simulate hurricane conditions on a bunch of ants. I'll stick with my super soaker thanks.

B1663R

50 bucks? I agree with Peeps, it better be made of CHROME STEEL or something for that price.

Nintenboy01

uh that would be very easy to make,
just og poke a few holes in the cap,

takemetoyourtoaster

One who showers with 16.9-20oz of water is unclean and need to be disposed of immediately

Rouging it?
As in like applying make-up or something?

FIFTY DOLLARS!!?!?!

Pope John Peeps II

The person willing to shell out 50 dollars on a pathetic shower-simulation is likely to be the one "roughing it" in the huge RV that's cramping your tent into a corner... a huge RV that has a hot shower, oven, WIFI connection, and stereo system (that is of course playing the latest in Nature CDs)

@shamoononon: Oh wait, Cordfucious already mentioned that point.

What I'm wondering is why he doesn't just go take a bath in the conveniently placed ocean?

lordargent

There's a much better way to do this;

1.Clean out a one gallon bottle (from milk, juice, etc)
2.Poke 15-20 holes in the bottom of the bottle
3. Fill the bottle and put the cap on tightly and quickly, this will keep the eater from flowing out because no air pressure is going onto the water from the cap opening
4. Hang the bottle from a tree branch, within reach of your arm
5. Reach up and turn the cap open, one gallon of free flowing water that you don't have to hold above your head by yourself.

@lordargent: I nominate you for Comment of the Day. Why didn't I notice that sooner?

Why isn't there a link to the Pocket Shower in this post. Cmon Giz.

The ONLY way this is worth $50 is if I am the only one who has one in an area full of sexy ladies who desperately need to shower.

Come on ladies, no need to push. Sorry I don't have any means to ensure your privacy...just try to get close to me to use my body as a visual shield. I'll just hold this above your glistening naked bodies and wet you down while you rub the soap on. You want to try giving the bottle a squeeze? Okay, I'll work the soap for you... take your time, no need to rush, we can refill the bottle as many times as you need. Maybe your friend wants to come help soap you down too?

Camping by a fire hydrant proves to have its benefits yet again.

And speaking of noticing things, is that a prosthetic leg?

100 thumbtacks - Two Dollars

2 Liter Bottled Product - Another Two Dollars

Ugly portable "shower"(finger quotes) - $50

Crushing that crappy little piece of plastic the first time you try to pack it - Priceless

Skitchin

Oh my gosh, the $ tumbled even worse than expected in the foreign exchange market....When did that happen?

mortel666

Yeah I got to get on board, $50 for a water bottle nozzle that can be made for 6 cents worth of plastic. So you can take a sprinkly shower from a bottle with a 12 second supply of otherwise drinkable water? Oh super value there.

Hello_Newman

Oh good lord. If you want a sprinkler that fits on top of a bottle, get an iron-your-clothes sprinkler from the Vermont Country Store.

infmom

Gizmodo, if you're going to post articles about overpriced crap like this, at least make sure there is a NSFW video of it in use.

theimmc

is this an Apple device.

It looks cool and is expensive, but there are some small design issues. Pretty similar precepts.

flyboy

@Nintenboy01: It is made from 100% uobtainium - weightless, non-polluting, anti-microbial, can be compressed to the size of a young green pea and bounce back to original shape simply by rubbing it, and heats the water without using any energy as it passes through. Requires no outside source of power, and (with all due respect to the reporter) exudes its OWN PET bottle, that takes moisture from the air and thus provides a virtually endless supply of showery goodness.

Soap not included.

ps61318

Whatever, this is well worth it if you're in the situation where you need it. I'm going to buy this and send it to my brother in Iraq, who only gets to shower with water bottles.
