Well.. You can shower for 4 minutes if you have hair like that (Silky and extremely short) Women with long curly hair would need at least 20 minutes to take a shower (says a woman with long curly hair)

Did no one actually READ the article? They aren't for marketing. They're an art project designed to initiate a discussion on water usage.

And all these commenters missed the point. As stated it's not actually for use but more aimed at sparking a discussion and debate around WATER CONSERVATION

Where can I buy one?

I can't use this shower curtain. Oh my god. How can we wash ourselves properly in 4 mins? I can't do that.

Stupid nonsense. Those spikes are not nice, they are disturbing, they will be very soon dirty and will be hard to clean them out. If you want to chuck the people out from bath after 4 minutes using why it automatically does not stop warm water? 99% of people will be out in a second. Somebody is thinking with his a*s again....

They had a better water-saving idea staring them right in the face, and they completely missed it: after four minutes, a guy bursts into your shower and starts taking photos.

just dont go in the shower in the first place.

I found this on a tumblr post that got uploaded on pinterest, and honestly, I can't believe I actually looked this up. And being here feels like what I would imagine a frozen piece of internet, untouched for 2 years. If anyone finds this comment, the year is 2017. It is the 17th of December, and in my time zone it is 5:29 pm. Obviously this post was made in 2015, before so many things have gone wrong. Politics have been turned into a war zone. Stupidity is a common thing now, so please, save yourselves.

brilliant . . . . .

yes. Just shower for 4 minutes. Not need to go all medievil with spikes!

extra

The idea is great an all but seems like it could not only make showers really stressful but make them kind of dangerous... catch you off guard and cause you to slip and fall... *shrug* maybe just set a timer lol...

All the wrong camera angles

And these inflatable spikes are clearly made out of plastic. How about this one: Be a disciplined, conscious human being that does not need silly gimmicks to do something as simple as taking a shower!

until someone's eye gets poked

this is obviously a design student's thesis project. much like those coffee cups with the handle on sideways, its a design project.

It would need more energy for the pump , and the gauges etc etc.

silly

impractical

no way in hell i can take a shower in four mins. it take that time to wash hair alone. i want to be fully clean. not just my hair.lol id cut the spikes if i seen it somewhere.

Who showers in 4 minutes?! I cant even shave my legs in 4 minutes!

Is it better to consume the electric energy needed to inflate those spikes better than the water? Or having that huge box in the toilet? how about just using one of this ( I already use it to brush my teeth) Or just count a couple songs if you listen to music...http://csimg.mercama...ina-manzana.jpg...such a useless invention...

As a male with an extremley large penis, I would like to make you fully aware of the timescale required to properly clean oneself.... The shaft - 20-22 mins. Starting from the base, working upwards. Excessive girth requires full clean and lotion. The End - 16mins. Tricky. Very sensitive and requires more attention than said shaft The S*****m - 18mins. The complexity of the ball sack is hard to describe. Starting like an old mans neck and fast becoming a hippos eye on contact with water, this is the trickiest part. Add 31mins for shaving of said parts. There you go. This really does make a mockery of your "4 min shower" does it not. Micky
