SpaTap is a device which attaches to virtually any canteen, transforming it into a water dispensing multi-use tap. Made of food and water grade materials, the SpaTap is capable of functioning as a hand wash, a shower, and a tap. It can serve as a hygiene and first aid device, and assists with water conservation. The SpaTap also weighs only 80 grams, is collapsible and folds flat, has a built-in soap caddy, and can be supplied in any color, including black.

I’m not sure who they think will pony up $25 each (and must buy wholesale bulk) for 45¢ of injection molded soft plastic, a 5¢ cord lock, and 3¢ of string.
Cost of injection mold tooling is a pretty serious upfront cost. I’m working on parts that are less complex than this and they’re all in the $20-$30k range for tooling.
Assuming a $25K tooling startup, they would have to sell 1,000 @ $25 each just to break even.
And then there’s the other costs.
I’m sure this will come with a warning label not to stick it in anyone’s anywhere.
I’d pay $25 just to fondle that vaguely suggestive-looking knob on the bottom.
Wait, are you telling me that producing stuff costs more than the price of the individual components and or raw unprocessed materials that make them up? $25 is actually pretty reasonable if you have a bona-fide use for this thing. How much do those dedicated camp shower bag things cost?
This is absolutely untrue, along with the myth of postage, wages, marketing, testing, and rent costing money.
