If that bar of Zest doesn’t provide enough of a thrill during your morning shower, consider upgrading to the Shower Gun. As far as cleaning products go, it’s pretty self-explanatory. You fill it with an included bottle of blood-red shower gel, point the barrel at the filthiest parts of your body, and pull the trigger.

Childhood summers are all about blowing iridescent soap bubbles out of plastic wands. It seems like a short-lived activity, but somehow it provides endless fascination. Involving an Arduino and some stepper motors might seem like overkill, but these parabolic bubbles are pretty mesmerizing.

So you’ve had a long hard day wandering through mazes, gobbling up dots and running from ghosts. You’ve worked up a Pac-Manly sweat. What better way to wash away the grime, but with some unofficial Pac-Man soaps?
These handmade soaps come from Fushichos Gallery, and come in a set of four ghosts and two Pac-Men for just $6(USD). They’re available in a variety of fragrances and colors, so you should be able to match up the colors to Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Stinky Clyde. Just be sure to make any special requests when you place your order.
Or, just order a set in all dark blue so you can start chasing the ghosts instead of them chasing you all day.
There hasn’t been much innovation in the soap dispenser world since self-pumping sensor-activated models entered the picture. But those can easily break and/or run out of batteries rendering their hands-free advantages moot. Which is why the simple design improvements of Joseph Joseph’s new C-Pump are so brilliant. More »
While I love cinnamon buns as much as the next guy, I have to say that I’d be sorely disappointed if I bit into one of these pastries. You see, what you’re looking at here isn’t a cinnamon bun at all. It’s an insanely accurate replica of a cinnamon bun, made from soap.
They’re even made with actual cinnamon to give them that authentic scent. Just don’t try to eat one, unless you want to fill your mouth with moisturizing vegan soap. Yuck. These detailed cinnamon bun soaps are made by Aubrey Elizabeth Apothecary, and are sure to fool even the most avid of pastry connoisseurs.
They sell for $6.75(USD) for a set of two, which is actually cheaper than getting two Cinnabons – though much less tasty. And when you’re done not eating these, you can find a number of other deceptive food soaps over on Aubrey’s Etsy shop, including such delights as gummy bear, and bacon and egg soap.
I guess this is one surefire way to lose weight, right?
After a hard day of spiraling through loops and collecting rings, it’s time for a good shower. A hedgehog can get pretty dirty running around all those 16-bit landscapes. This Sonic the Hedgehog soap should help. Forget inserting it in your console. Instead, insert it in your armpits and other crevices to get squeaky clean.
This one is grape soda scented. Supposedly this soap will make your hands soft, which should help you interact better with your controller. Just don’t try jamming it into your SEGA Genesis unless you want a nasty surprise.
This neat soap shaped was made by Digitalsoaps, and will cost you just $7(USD) – which is actually a little more than a used Sonic the Hedgehog cartridge.
Most men I know don’t smell like bacon, baseball gloves, top soil, or urinal cakes, but maybe it’s because the men I know take baths regularly and practice good hygiene. At least, I’d like to think so.
Nonetheless, it’s still funny to see ManHands’ line of man-branded soap featuring all sorts of weird and unusual scents like the ones I mentioned, plus more like muscle rub, bonfire, red wine, cash, and brewed coffee.
The product page boasts that the soaps will make any man ‘smell like a man’ and ‘smell the way they need to smell.’ That’s pretty ironic, considering the fact that all 19 scents being offered smell, well, pretty disgusting to me. At least, I’d imagine they would, given the actual things they based on aren’t exactly stuff any girl (or guy) would want to sniff on a regular basis.
They are: bacon, baseball glove, beer, bonfire, brewed coffee, buttered popcorn, cannabis, cash, cedar log cabin, democrat(?), fresh cut grass, margarita, muscle rub, nag champa incense, obsession cologne, red wine, republican, top soil – and, saving the best for last – urinal mint.
Each 3-ounce bar of ManHands soap is priced at $6.95.
Do you want to smell like one of the houses from Game of Thrones? Maybe the Lannisters? How about the Starks? Let’s face it, you wouldn’t want to smell like most characters from Westeros. Except for Denerys. You know that she smells good. You can’t look that good and not smell good – even if you have been walking through the Red Waste for weeks. But everyone in the seven kingdoms might smell nicer if they had these soaps.
These house sigil soaps by GeekSoap are pretty neat. They will evoke sweet scents that make you think of each house. There’s Stark, Lannister, Baratheon, and Targaryen. The Lannister scent is “Pride” made from patchouli, plumeria, and orange. I guess that seems about right. Stark’s scent is “Betrayal,” a crisp combination of pine, cedar, and eucalyptus with just a hint of campfire. Yep. That’s how I always imagined they would smell. You get the idea.
There’s no Greyjoy because no one wants to smell like salt water and seaweed. They are just $6(USD) each. Or you could just pay the iron price.

Let’s face it, after the hours of gaming, not to mention the eating of snacks to accompany your gaming sessions, it is safe to assume that your gaming controllers can hardly be thought of sanitary. Sure you could always wipe them down but what’s the point especially if your grimy hands are going to be all over them again, right? Well in case you’re not in the habit of washing your hands with soap, perhaps these gaming controller shaped soap bars might change your mind! Not only are these soaps gamer friendly, but they are apparently vegan friendly too and contain no ingredients taken from animals.
In case you couldn’t identify the controllers above, they belong to the NES, SNES, the Genesis, PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360, with the former two priced at $16 while the remaining three will cost you $21 each. They are admittedly pretty pricey as far as soap is concerned, but given the level of detail in each soap bar, they might be better off as displayed rather than actually being used. For those interested, you can pop on over to Firebox and place your pre-orders.
