Chindogu

Hydrophobe’s Bath Body Suit
-Take a bath without getting wet
“The dry shave has already saved millions of man hours the world over. The dry bath is an even more radical concept, and with the potential for even greater impact on the way we live. The benefits are considerable. No need to undress. No need to dry, talc up and redress. You can experience all the warmth, comfort and therapeutic relaxation of the conventional bath, without the wetness. You can then get out of the bath, surrounding yourself with the cool air of the bathroom, without the unpleasant chill factor that so often spoils the end of bath experience for the wet and naked.
Such is the pleasure and convenience of the dry bath, that wearers of the body suit may be inclined to ‘soak’ for very long periods. This is to be discouraged, as resulting excessive perspiration may require the remedy of a conventional wet bath.”

Daddy Nurser
Lets Dad experience the joys of motherhood
“The division of work and responsibility within the modern family is constantly up for revision. Yet there is one task that still falls inevitably to the mother: breast-feeding the infants. This Chindongu challenges one of the last bastions of sexual inequality, and allows Father to experience the joy of nourishing his baby from his own body – almost. If this device was adopted on a large scale, then the benefits in terms of father-child bonding and the feminisation(sp) of the male could produce greater love and understanding on a global scale.”
