Portable Body-Freshening Scales

The Body Dryer Eliminates the Use of Bath Towels with Ionized Air

— March 20, 2014 — Lifestyle
Push that absorbent bath towel to the side and make way for the Body Dryer, a revolutionary and portable device that will not only dry your body with compressed ionized air, but also sanitize the air around you in the process.

The Body Dryer is equipped with two drying settings: hot air for that toasty sauna-feel or cool air for sweltering climates. The machine is hardly larger than a common bathroom scale and works by using pressured air to push the water off the body onto the black platform where it then evaporates. This whole process is said to take only 30 seconds.

The goal of the Body Dryer is to leave consumers just as squeaky clean as when they first stepped out of the shower instead of getting contaminated by the germ-filled towels they dry off with. It aims to lessen household carbon footprints through water conservation by ditching the need to frequently wash bath towels.

The Body Dryer is a prototype that will make its presence known on Indiegogo.com in April.
