1. Travel Bidet

Let’s face it. Compared to your immaculately clean bathroom, the hygiene in rest rooms in the rest of the world leave a lot to be desired. But thanks to Sanicare’s Travel Bidet you’ll be as fresh as a daisy.

This unique personal hygiene system makes cleansing more available and convenient for frequent travellers. It also comes equipped with three multifunctional nozzles, each with very particular purposes. Just make sure you read the manual before you use it. Choosing the wrong nozzle can have serious consequences…

2. Wearable Mosquito Repeller

It’s all very well lighting coils or plugging something into a socket. But what about when you want to leave the room?

Introducing the wearable Mosquito Repeller. It straps to your belt, repelling mosquitoes – and cool people – within a 15ft radius. Anywhere and everywhere you go.

3. UV Disinfection Light Scanner

The Nano-UV Disinfection Light Scanner, by Zadro Products, eliminates 99.99% of bacteria, mould, fungus and virus surface contaminants in only 10-seconds, 30-seconds in backpacker hostels.

Wave it over virtually any type of surface – from toilets on Indian trains to seats on the New York subway – to create an almost germ-free environment. Not totally germ-free. And let’s face it, it’s the 0.01% of germs this thing won’t kill that you’ve got to worry about.
