The whole shower is like a glass go-go cage designed to make you feel like you’re washing yourself for other peoples’ enjoyment, but in a classy, design-centric sort of way. It’s definitely smaller than a traditional shower/tub combo, but all that glass is going to be rough to clean.

Well it could be used for your crotch if you are tall enough, or you have a weirdly high crotch with a weirdly short torso. Either way, it’s a sweet-looking fixture with a lot of options. [Hansa via Trendir]

Seriously though, somewhere in this image is an outdoor shower that heats water up to 60 degrees Celcius in two hours using solar power. Of course, now all you can think about is a cold shower right? Well, the product page will bring you crashing back down with the imagery conjured up by the following line:

“you and your family can take several showers consecutively before the tank needs to reheat.”

That is so wrong. [Herrington via Red Ferret via DVICE]

This thing controls music streamed wirelessly via Bluetooth, lighting in your shower and even (who’d have imagined) what kind of water is raining down on you. It even has a Scottish Shower mode, which I had to look up to find out that it meant alternating hot and cold water spray. [Hansgrohe via Trendir via DVice]

This designer-friendly shower kit is for people who really like squares. The simple, elegant 5×5 modules can be arranged freely and serve several functions, including thermostat, speaker, volume and diverter controls, showerhead, lighting and shelving.

No word on whether each block can be removed from and reapplied to the wall for even more bath time fun. However, the large “ShowerHeaven” overhead component this thing comes with does rain water down on you like a luxurious waterfall. [core77]

In addition to the fish tank base, Hydroco’s Hydroglass unit can feature a 7-head rainbar, heated aquabed, warm water mattress and other accessories when fully decked out. It’s going to start a revolution of laziness in the bathroom. That’s right—sooner or later we will be able to poop lying down. What a day that will be. [Hydroco via Born Rich via DVICE]

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 mum 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 $US107, meaning you can find it for even cheaper. [Kohler]

Sure, there are other methods of conserving water in the shower, but none of them put your life on the line like the inflatable shower curtain from designer Elisabeth Buecher.

My approach to design can sometimes appear shockingly radical but I have got different reasons to legitimise that. An alarm clock is not what we can call a pleasurable object. It is often even painful to be awoken by it. However it is a necessary object, which regulates our lives and the society. That’s what I call the “design for pain and for our own good”. Some of my designs seem to constrain people, acting like an alarm clock, awaking people to the consciousness of their behaviour and giving them limits. People often need an external signal to behave more. In France the government added thousands of new radars on the roads to fight excessive speed. And it worked: there are far less people killed on the roads of France today. I call it “design of threat and punishment” and I use it as an educational tool.

Yeah, she’s not fooling around here. If you don’t wrap things up in a timely fashion the curtain will inflate until you are a naked, shivering prisoner in your own shower. By the looks of things, if you aren’t careful the damn thing could completely cut off your air supply. Personally, I would rather go with the Eco-Drop Shower—the philosophy is the same but it’s far less deadly. [MoCo Loco via DVICE]

You’ve tried pills. (ICK!) You’ve tried topical treatments. (OUCH!) You’ve even tried sacrificing your first child to Aphrodite in hopes of a hair blessing. (OOPS!)

Now, for just $US90 (that’s just ten payments of under $US10) you can regrow the hair on top of your head (or anywhere else!). Japanese scientists have discovered that the root of all hair loss is the clogged hair pathways in your skin. This uniquely engineered rubber shower cap captures shower water in such a way that it steams your scalp, allowing hair through.

Operators are standing by, but they might not speak English. So you’d better just order this one through the website. [Hair Doctor via Tokyo Mango]
