Tips On Using Tech In The Bathroom

As modern technology continues to take over every avenue of our lives, there is one area that has for the most part been free of too many big tech advances – the bathroom. Perhaps it’s because of the fact electricity and water don’t easily mix. However, even that is changing with many great and innovative pieces of tech being designed and retailing for use while you soak in the tub or enjoy that refreshing shower.

If you are interested in how you can utilize tech in the watery escape that is your bathroom, take a look at some of the following suggestions and ideas.

 

Mirror TV

 When is a mirror not just a mirror? When it’s also a TV. Although it may sound strange, there are mirrors out there these days that have an LCD TV integrated into their design. Basically, if the TV is off, just see your own reflection, but if the TV is on, you see both your reflection and whatever is on the box. Which means you can enjoy catching up with your favorite shows, watch the news or a movie, while enjoying a relaxing bath or during your morning washing and grooming routine.

 

The Soundtrack to your Shower

Singing in the shower is a popular phenomenon. Even people who are shy about singing their hearts out in other areas of life, tend to be more comfortable singing their favorite songs at the top of their lungs. Whereas in the past, the best you could do was have a device set up far away from the shower area and all that water that could potentially ruin it, nowadays you can actually bring your music into the shower with you.

There are several ways you can have a speaker in the shower, ranging from the more traditional, waterproof radio option to the more advanced, showerheads with inbuilt speakers. Either way, there is no excuse for not having music to back your dulcet tones as you wash.

 

Smart Scales

Depending on your personality and temperament, the humble bathroom scales are probably not your best friend. They often look up at you accusingly, displaying the numbers that you really don’t want to see, but need to see. Even these bathroom staples have been infiltrated by technology and given an upgrade,

Just as is the case with smartphones turning cellphones into minicomputers where there is less focus on their use as an actual phone, the same has happened with smart scales. Rather than just telling you how much you weigh and leaving you feeling guilty, smart scales are designed to tell you so much more.

Depending on the product you invest in, you can find out a more balanced and in-depth guide to your body composition with everything from the percentage of body fat, BMI, and (if it is linked to your activity/fitness tracker) blood pressure and other areas of your health.

 

Its a Shower, No Its a Toilet, No Its Both 

That is not a trick heading, ladies and gentlemen, as you now have toilets that double up as showers. Before we go any further, it’s worth noting that it doesn’t mean you need to stand in the toilet water and use a shower head over the top. Rather, both waterjets and dryers are integrated into the design of the toilet around the rim to give you a deeper clean than toilet paper ever could.

Think of it as an eco-friendly version of a bidet, with added dryers.

If that all sounds exciting, trust us, it’s only going to get better, as technology continues to become a more integral part of our bathroom designs and setups.
