With our super hectic lives and chalked-up schedules, bathtime is probably the only time of the day when we get to truly relax and unwind. It’s that precious hour of the day when we can completely indulge in self-care, and pamper ourselves, hence it is my favorite time of the day. Having a beautifully designed bathroom with thoughtful designs will only amplify this special time of the day. These products can make a huge difference in our everyday bathroom experience. They not only help us carry out our personal and grooming activities even more easily, but they also help us take care of ourselves and our washrooms a little better. From the world’s first flush toilet built from wood chips to an odor-free, absorbent, and quick-drying towel – these well-designed products are all you need to elevate your daily bathtime!
1. The Tandem Showerhead
Called the Tandem Showerhead, this intriguing showerhead can be directly attached to your existing showerhead and serves as an easy-to-install, no-plumber-required shower accessory that divides the shower into two separate streams. It is excellent for both couples and solo showers that provide a more luxurious experience.
Why is it noteworthy?
The Tandem Shower comes with an adjustable design, allowing it to fit in most bathrooms. It connects directly to your existing showerhead’s water inlet, which effectively distributes the water supply between the two showerheads. A valve on the Tandem Shower then lets you effectively switch between either of the showerheads or run both simultaneously.
What we like
- You can angle-adjust your water flow as you would with the existing shower
- The high-velocity setting in particular delivers nearly two times more force than standard showerheads
What we dislike
- It’s an added installation, making it difficult for people living in rental apartments
2. one&done
With the one&done, Pelin integrates and combines a toothbrush and a candy dispenser. Inspired by a PEZ dispenser, the toothbrush features a convenient little storage space to hold toothpaste tablets, completely eliminating the need for toothpaste tubes.
Why is it noteworthy?
This allows you to carry your toothbrush and toothpaste in one compact form and prevents the mess that ensues with carrying and dealing with a tube of toothpaste.
What we like
- Ensures that you use the right amount of toothpaste every day, something that isn’t easily achieved when you’re squeezing paste out of a tube
What we dislike
- The toothbrush is pretty thick and may be difficult to brush with and carry out different motions to clean your teeth
3. The VEAU LED Mask
Designed by COZCORE, this new-age LED mask is meant to revolutionize skincare practices. The innovative product utilizes LED technology to offer users an effective and personalized skincare experience.
Why is it noteworthy?
The VEAU LED Mask is a premium facial mask that uses light therapy to improve the health and look of the skin. It has an ergonomic shape that fits the curves of the face gently, allowing for a relaxing and effective treatment.
What we like
- Features multiple modes, so you can pick your favorite LED light colors based on your unique skincare needs
- Can be folded, so users can wear it with ease and comfortably
What we dislike
- We’re not fully aware of any side effects the mask could have on the skin
4. The Promo Toothbrush
The Promo Toothbrush is a sustainable alternative to toothbrushes in hotels that are discarded every day or every two days. It is a hybrid reusable toothbrush that is made from 50% less petroleum-based plastic as compared to conventional products.
Why is it noteworthy?
Its lightweight design and utilization of naturally derived materials, such as rice husks, contribute to a significant reduction in petroleum-derived plastics.
What we like
- The toothbrush can be taken home or carried anywhere by the guests, promoting reuse
What we dislike
- Since the texture of the material is moist, the capacity of it to sustain the print of hotel branding needs to be explored
5. K-25 Bath Towels
Cast aside your terrycloth napkins and towels, and say hello to the K-25 Bath Towel. Designed to be a large, absorbent, quick-drying, and odor-free towel, the K-25 Bath Towel features a waffle-weave fabric that is soft on the skin and absorbs water much faster than your regular ‘fuzzy’ towel.
Why is it noteworthy?
The large waffle texture of the towel is quite interesting and useful, as it gently exfoliates your skin at the same time, before distributing the absorbed water back into the air in minutes, ensuring you’re never left with a damp and smelly towel.
What we like
- The square-shaped waffle pattern does a clever job of giving the towel much more surface area than it otherwise would – this allows for easier absorption as well as drying
What we dislike
- No means to personalize the towel, especially in a bigger family
6. Bebo
Bebo is a line of bath essentials products for toddlers that pull double duty. They are, of course, primarily designed to be containers for personal hygiene products like shampoo, gel soap, powder, and lotion.
Why is it noteworthy?
These containers come in interesting shapes that resemble specific animals. In other words, these containers can become toys that these same toddlers can play with once they’re no longer in use.
What we like
- Double up as containers for personal hygiene products, and toys for toddlers to play later
- They’re designed to ensure that kids don’t accidentally open them up or squeeze out their contents even when they’re playing with them during bath time
What we dislike
- It’s a concept!
7. Portable Washing Machine
Designed by Kai Xia, this portable washing machine may look like a collapsible cup, but it was designed for a specific purpose. It may have a deceptively simple appearance, but its functionality is quite unique and streamlined.
Why is it noteworthy?
Its low power consumption and limited capacity mean it can run at gentler speeds, providing the perfect settings for washing smaller clothes or ones made with sensitive material.
What we like
- Designed specifically for single-person households that are trying to economize both space and expenditures
- Doesn’t occupy too much space
What we dislike
- May seem unnecessary to have another washing machine, if you already have one
8. Mimo
This revolutionary refillable toothpaste tube is called Mimo, and it pumps toothpaste into each tube from the bottom using an external refilling basin.
Why is it noteworthy?
Equipped with a refilling basin, Mimo fills each tube up from the bottom through a pressure pump that’s encased in each basin. The transparent bottom half of Mimo indicates the toothpaste level so over-filling won’t be an issue.
What we like
- Portable and easy to carry
- Reduces the wastage of toothpaste tubes
What we dislike
- It is a tedious process, and it could be difficult to sustain on a long-term basis
9. Block
Say hello to the Block – toilet built completely from wood composite. Designed by Finland-based design company Woodio, wood composite was utilized to create everything – from the seat to the toilet.
Why is it noteworthy?
Wood composite is supposed to be a pretty sustainable material since it produces 99% fewer emissions in its production than ceramics. The toiled is called ‘Block’, and was built using a material that Woodio founder Petro Lahtinen developed himself.
What we like
- The material is supposed to be 80 percent wood by volume and was created using locally sourced aspen and offcuts from the Finnish forest industry
What we dislike
- Woodio claims that the material generates 99% lesser emissions as compared to ceramics, this claim does not involve any emissions from material sourcing or disposal, which do have a major impact on the complete footprint of a product
10. Jacqueline Tap
Dubbed the Jacqueline tap, this rather unique and good-looking tap is built entirely from segments of bamboo. It is crafted with immense precision, and attention to detail, much like the care and concern given to high-end fashion accessories while they are being manufactured.
Why is it noteworthy?
Bamboo is a sustainable, flexible, weather-resistant, and strong material that is a boon to the planet. It is a great alternative to the marble or concrete faucets we usually install in our bathrooms, hence making the Jacqueline tap a sustainable and eco-friendly fixture for your bathroom
What we like
- Sustainable and eco-friendly
- Extremely good-looking
What we dislike
- There is not much information on how to maintain the tap and keep it in a good + clean condition
