QuickShower Water and Soap Showerhead
For Those Looking to Shower Even Faster

030509quickshower00.jpgIronic we discovered an advertisement for this product while taking a relaxing bath: the QuickShower is a funny looking but sort of cool contraption that dispenses a mix of soap and water as you shower, eliminating the time you need to lather up and get going. Of course, you can set it to rinse mode, without any soap. Or just slow down there, Flash...

 
 

The QuickShower shower head is available for $39.95 and appears to work with other shower head options, according to their online instruction manual.

Here's how you can do this for free. Get wet, turn off shower. Lather down, turn shower back on and rinse. Done.

I just watched the Daily Show and Jon Stewart noted how lazy we were as a society. Believing the best in people, I mentally disagreed.

But after seeing this I'm not so sure I was right.

LOL @ebj123 - I just snorted root beer out of my nose.


I say this is obviously for people that don't like to shower...in fact they probably hate hot water. HATERS!

My husband wrote back "That is the stupidest thing I have seen in a long time"

It does look like testicles, and I don't spend time around large, ungelded animals.

What a silly product, and a great way to promote slipping and falling in the shower. I'm waiting for the lawsuits to start.

bwahahahaha! Really, does AT ever think about these kinds of things? I just spit out my drink. It's testicles! How can you not see that?

Yeap... I saw testicles too.

good grief!

it's all bad:
- looks like your showerhead sprouted testicles
- screams "I'm lazy and can't bathe myself"
- hard to avoid getting sprayed in the eyes with soap

Testicles it is, I was looking at this at work, and stroll down quickly I didn't want anyone around me thinking otherwise. And no I don't spend time around farm animals, but eew.

Oh, I saw it. I just wasn't going to write it. It's so much more fun to see y'all doing it for me. And thank you mdeathstar for dropping some knowledge...I had no idea the reference would be so esoteric in nature (but then again, our readership doesn't lean toward the nerd pop culture demographic).

Can it be adapted to dispense morning coffee, so you could have breakfast AND clean yourself at the same time? Like with some sort of drinkable coffee-soap? Because I'd really love to save all that time wasted by drinking coffee and showering in the morning.

And knowing it does look like testicles maybe it could also... no ok I'll shut up now. Forget what I just said.

Ooh ooh
You might not ever get rich
But let me tell ya it's better than diggin' a ditch
There ain't no tellin' who you might meet
A movie star or maybe even an Indian chief

(Workin')
At the car wash
Workin' at the car wash, girl
Come on and sing it with me
(Car wash)
Sing it with the feelin' ya'all
(Car wash, girl)

Ooh!

Some of the work gets kinda hard
This ain't no place to be if you planned on bein' a star
Let me tell you it's always cool
And the boss don't mind sometimes if you act the fool

At the car wash
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Talkin' about the car wash, girl
Come on, ya'all and sing it for me
(Car wash)
Oooh oooh oooh
(Car wash, girl)

(Work and work)
Well, those cars never seem to stop coming
(Work and work)
Keep those rags and machines humming
(Work and work)
My fingers to the bone
(Work)
Can't wait till it's time to go home (?)

(Hey, get your car washed today)
Fill up and you don't have to pay
Come on and give us a play
(Do the wash, right away)

(The car wash)
Talkin' 'bout the car wash
Car wash, girl
Come on, ya'all, let's sing it with me
(Car wash)
Sing it with feelin', ya'all
(Car wash, girl)

Whoa whoa whoa whoa
(Car wash)
Never seem to stop comin'
What'd I say
Keep those rags and machines hummin'
(Car wash)
Let me tell you, it's always cool . . .

Yes, testicles. R2-D2 did you drop yours! They're in AT lost and found. Please call 1 800 4yr balls.

What about washing your hair? Wouldn't soap dry it out?

The thing is, it doesn't actually wash you, it just sprays soap on you. Not really time saving or efficient... just yucky and stupid, I think

That shower head is hung like a horse!

But, in all seriousness, could you imagine how clogged that thing would get. I can't even deal with those soap-dispensing dishwashing brushes. They don't dispense the right amount, and they get scummy and clogged fast.

I hope I never lead a life where I have to shower that quickly!

Could be useful in vets' offices or animal shelters or such where one would have to keep animals under control and wash them really quickly.
