Illustration of the Pocket Shower in use
Being dirty is not where it’s at. That’s why showers were invented. Unfortunately, showers are whacking great contraptions that require power. And that means you can’t have a nice warm blast when you’re stuck in the middle of the wilderness. Or does it?

Step forward the ingenious Pocket Shower. This super compact shower system has been specifically designed for those moments when you want a shower but are miles from power. And that’s because it is heated by everyone’s favourite bright orangey thing. No, not Firebox.com, the sun!

Fits into your pocket

Wash and go!

Ideal for festival-goers, hikers, campers and trans-globe explorers, the fully-portable Pocket Shower is essentially a roll-up fabric bag that heats water using the sun’s rays, so you can enjoy a warm shower anytime, anyplace. No plumbing or power required. The whole shebang zips into a 3” x 6” pouch that weighs just 4.25 ounces. It’s so impressive you might have to take a shower. Hang on…

Simple instructions...

How to use your pocket shower

Fill with water (10L max.)

Fold over
(3 times) and clip

Loop string over
a branch

Anchor it to the tree trunk

Simply fill the bag with water and leave it out to soak up some rays. Once the water is heated, hang the bag from a branch or some other overhanging thingamabob using its lightweight cord and get your kit off.

The shower head

Twist the shower head

You can even slip into your bikini and re-enact that Myleene-in-the-shower moment off ‘I’m a Celeb…’ (assuming you’re a woman). And with a generous 10 litre capacity you’ll have more than enough water to wash those bugs right out of your hair. We reckon almost eight and a half minutes.

The Pocket Shower comes with everything you need for an al fresco shower, including a built-in compact shower head with flow control (operates via an easy-to-use twist mechanism) and hanging cord. Pack a decent bar of soap and you’ll feel fresh as a daisy, wherever you may roam. Pass the loofah!

visitor avatar Sounds like a great Idea for a festival. But what if there's no tree's around to hang it from?
Hayley, United Kingdom Leeds - 3rd August 2011
Firebox says: A tall friend?
visitor avatar Do you sell pop up shower tent things or something similar for those people who don't want to do a myleene?
Tegan, Market Harbrough - 28th May 2011

James, Bristol - 25th May 2011
visitor avatar How long will the shower run at a time?
Dylan, Leicestershire - 28th March 2011
Firebox says: 10 litres with the shower head gives you approximately 7 minutes.
visitor avatar Hi, Could you fill this with hot water and just use it as a shower or does the water need to be cold to start with?
Kit, Lumphinnans - 10th January 2011
Firebox says: We see no reason why this wouldn't work.
visitor avatar Fab for staying in beach huts in India as the showers there are not the most hygenic!
Mandy, Manchester - 26th May 2010
visitor avatar What a brilliant idea, I am going to get one of these for our beach hut, then I can wash off the sandy kids before we go home in the evening in nice warm water rather than either with freezing water from the cold water tap nearby or in a washing up bowl of water heated on our camping stove!
Susan Davies, Poole - 29th April 2010
visitor avatar How long does it take to warm up?
Harry Ingram, Radlett - 21st November 2009
Firebox says: At least a couple of hours but it will depend on the strength of the sun wherever you are hanging it

Tina, Manchester - 1st November 2009
