The Bathroom Issue

If you're expecting to find new ideas for building your business, mastering technology, getting organized, or taking better photographs, you've come to the wrong place... this month's Urbach Letter is refreshingly free of any worthwhile intellectual content. Instead, I've decided to "unload" the contents of my bathroom folder for your perusal and amusement.

If there's any lesson to be learned this month, perhaps it's this: there'll always be some creative, wacky people out there who have a different idea about the form and function of ordinary, everyday things. Who says bathroom fixtures have to exist in expected shapes and be made of white glazed porcelain? Who says it's wrong to bring some whimsy and style to the little room we each visit every day?

WARNING: You may consider some of my selections to be in poor taste (and marginally NSFW). I've therefore kept the thumbnail images small. If you are a person who is sensitive about excretory functions and associated "equipment," please don't click to enlarge the photos. Instead, hit the delete key and we'll just catch up next month.

Dissolving Travel Toiletries
Keeping with the bathroom theme of this issue, I present a very clever way to bring your personal grooming substances with you, no matter where you're going. Discreet, dental floss-sized containers each hold 50 sheets of quick-dissolving hand soap, shampoo, or body wash. TSA-friendly, they'll go in (and stay in) your carry-on bag, or serve as an "always with you" alternative to questionable restroom hand cleaning substances. From ThinkGeek, a set will run you $12.99. Just add water...
