Fresh Fruity Floating Bath Favours
8:00AM Jason Chen | Do these floating bath fruits actually do anything? Other than draining three AAA batteries and lighting up your water in a rainbow of colours, no. [Himeyashop via Technabob via Boing Boing Gadgets]

AquaRain Bath Fountain Puts on a Show Using Your Bathwater
7:00AM Gizmodo US Edition | 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 US$49, hilarious Engrish included. [Japan Trend Shop via Gizmo Diva] More »

Device for the Elderly and Infirm Mistakenly Pitched to the Rich and Lazy
1:45AM Adam Frucci | There’s a fine line between being too lazy to do something and being physically unable to do something, which leads logically to the fact that there are more things in common between the very rich and the very old than you may think. Case in point, this “Neptune Portable Reclining Lift” which lux blog Born Rich deemed worthy for a “Luxurious Bath.” The great thing? This is totally designed for old people too weak to lower themselves into a tub without breaking a hip. More »

Wan Love Yu Dog Shower Cleans Puppy Without Shampoo
3:00AM Gizmodo US Edition | One of the most harrowing experiences of owning a dog, I’ve found, is the act of bathing it. For some reason, dogs that were happy to jump in a pond or pool suddenly find themselves allergic to water come bath time. If shampoo getting into Rover’s eyes is the problem, IDEC Corp.’s Wan Love Yu (”Dog Love Bath”) dog shower system ensures that you can clean your pup with just water and micro bubbles. More »

Brando’s Cyber Tap Radios Suck (Onto Your Shower Cubicle)
8:15PM Gizmodo US Edition | Brando’s Cyber Tap bath-time radio is not massively high-tech, sure, but its cuteness is undeniable. Stick its 12 cm sucker onto tiles or glass, adjust FM/AM frequency and twirl the volume tap to boogie away to showertime music. Is the red one more suited to Hot Gossip while the blue one’s best for Coldplay? Who knows, but after a bad joke like that you’ll be pleased to know the water-resistant, battery-powered Cyber Tap costs US$16. [Brando] More »

Gold-Framed, Dual-HDTV-Wielding, GSM-Controlled Bathtub Won’t Get You Any Cleaner
2:40AM Adam Frucci | Sometimes, I think that certain products are designed to remind the owner just how rich they are at all times rather than their supposed purpose. Take this ludicrous Red Diamond bathtub, for example. It’s got not one, but two waterproof HDTVs, can be controlled wirelessly via a built-in GSM module, and it’s built of solid fucking gold. Oh, and to top it off it has a Swarovski-crystal-lined champagne holder. More »

Teuco Sorgente Bathtub Is a Bathroom Accident Waiting To Happen
10:30AM Gizmodo US Edition | When Teuco isn’t creating ludicrously expensive cromoexperience showers for Adam Frucci, they’re inventing jaw-dropping Sorgente bathtubs that straddle the line between extravagant cleanliness and modern art. That is, if by modern art you mean a dangerous, gaping hole in the floor of your bathroom. More »

Disco Bath Means There’s a Party In My Tub and You’re All Invited
11:40PM Addy Dugdale | The Underwater Disco Light Show is a small waterproof contraption that you chuck in the tub for a full-on psychedelic bath-time experience—although, if you want really full-on, it might help to get the hallucinogens in before you strip off your clothes and your dignity and jump in. Turn it on, and LED lights in four colours whoosh around, and there’s a little button to change the pattern, as well as a weight underneath so that it doesn’t upend itself. Thomas and Guy-Man of Daft Punk should put these US$15 gizmos on their Christmas wish-lists now. [Firebox] More »

Waterproof PSP Bath Bag Is Every 9-Year-Old’s Wet Dream
7:40AM Jason Chen | As Adrian pointed out, if we had these PSP bath bags when we were nine, we’d be a whole lot cleaner and a whole lot wrinklier than we are now. It’s a bag. It holds your PSP. It goes into baths. That’s pretty much all you need to know. It’s unclear to us why you couldn’t just get a sandwich bag from Target that would do the same thing, but sandwich bags don’t have that fancy pants cord at the top. Does the PSP camera work with Skype video? Because we have an idea… [Impress via PSP Fanboy via Kotaku] More »
