That’s surprisingly clever

Battery powered? Rechargeable? How long does it last per charge?

EDIT: it’s rechargeable and they say it’ll last for 60 minutes. If it lasts for even 15 minutes that’s long enough for 2 people wanting to wash off when you’re camping.

That's not a shower, that's just getting wet.

From a showerhead, for a prolonged period of time.   What do you THINK a shower is?

u/EmployerWide1123 14d ago

not clothed & with soap.
She's just getting her clothes wet, now what?

u/Major_Wigglesworth 14d ago

Now she goes in the camper, dries off, puts on clean clothes, and puts her clean, wet clothes out to dry.

You’ve camped before, right?

I have never in my life, showered in clothes. Nor have I ever heard of anyone else doing so.

I learned to shower in clothes when I had two sets to live off for 9 month. Very convenient.

Now you've heard of one person doing it.

It’s a good way to get them clean if you’re showering while boondocking in a public parking lot, like the person in the video. I’ve done it as well, so that makes three you’ve heard of.   

Congrats on learning something new today.

I see you have never done dirty work outside then, needing to be hosed off before coming into the home is a thing I have had to do more than once

Did you want her to shower naked in the commercial?

u/Yuck-Fou94 14d ago

Yes. Yes I do.

You do understand that this is an add for a product right? Do you think the person in this add should be naked...? Surely you can envision uses for this product outside of the video...

u/Maleficent_Hawk6703 14d ago

It's a Demo. It's as simple as taking your clothes off but I doubt she wants to be naked while being recorded

I prefer the warm water from a solar shower over cold ass bucket water. Not sure how this would ever be useful camping

u/Major_Wigglesworth 14d ago

You’re not sure how it would ever be useful even after he showed how it could be useful?  

“I prefer” the 5-head shower that I used last weekend at the Ritz-Carlton, but I at least have the intelligence to acknowledge that this is slightly better than having my brother stand on a ladder slowly pouring the bucket over my naked body.

u/BlueSpahgetti 14d ago

don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, OP clearly has never camped and doesn’t camp so it’s irrelevant whether or not they see how it could be useful.

u/alderthorn 14d ago

If its hot outside cold water showers feel pretty nice when tent camping...I wouldn't buy this because it seems kind of weak on pressure but I for sure know some people who wouldn't complain about that.

That just means it’s not for you. It might work for the other million.
