Shower in a bag

Rabies

If you live on the streets and need a wash. Try putting water in a plastic bag. Leave it out in the sun to heat up. Attach a pipe, and away you go. Gravity does the rest.

It is what I needed to do last week.

I wasn't living on the streets. Spent the week camping with a youth club up the New Zealand coast.

No showers, but we did have toilets so it wasn't all that bad.

Here is a picture of it. First time I seen one. In the end it was easier to use a tap with a garden hose to shower under.

A cold shower on a hot day after the beach.... Ahhhhh

To be fair though, if you're living on the streets you're unlikely to be reading this thread now, are you?

And there was me having visions of a Dunnes carrier bag full of water.

Get some spare change from your McDonalds cup and buy one of these. Then look for free wifi and browse boards.

Now run away unless you are going to discuss the pros and cons of showering from a bag.

I hope that they also have instructions in Braille on those things, or I forsee many colostomy bag related lawsuits in the future.

Surely if it's hot enough to heat up that bag of water, then a cold shower would be preferable?

i'm guessing the shower in a bag isn't the cheapest thing in the world to buy either, especially given the circumstances of your planned consumer group.

okay, so it is a bag, but it's not exactly going to cost 15c like the rest of them is it? "a shower bag for life" perhaps?

i actually had visions of some dude on nassau street with one of these hanging from a lamppost exfoliating with a pidgeon (cheaper than dove ).

I presume the reason the shower bag works is that its black!

I used one of these in Fiji before, and it burnt me! - don't think it was even a brilliantly sunny day either! (actually it was cloudy for most of it)

Health and safety will ruin your plan, all carrier bags have holes in the the stop the childers dying.....
