NEWS – Kickstarter is a great place to find cool new gadgets, and it’s also a place to find the world’s craziest gadgets that make you go hmmmmm. That’s what I thought when I ran across the PitShower, which is currently seeking funding.
What is it?
The PitShower is a specially designed handheld underarm washer.
Why do I like it?
I like the PitShower because. Ok, I don’t really like it at all. I just want to make fun of it. It’s one of those products that makes me say why. Why would anyone want to spend $108 for a battery-operated armpit washer when they probably have a bathroom closet full of wash cloths? Someone, please explain it to me? 🙂
Where can I find more info?
The PitShower campaign ends on 07/23/25 and they have easily bypassed their funding goal of $3,000. You can pre-order a PitShower starting at $108. After the PitShower campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in September 2025. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.

Julie,
You successfully trolled me.
😉 you have to admit that it’s a crazy product.
It may see like an odd product, but I could see it being used especially in places where you can be outside for five minutes and work up a real sweat. I could also see people nervous about armpit stains and use this to avoid getting those. There are also people who would prefer a more natural way to deal with excessive armpit odor vs. using chemicals or pharmaceuticals. It’s bacially a bidet for your armpits.
But you could just take a washcloth with you that is wet with soap and another that is just wet and put them in ziploc bags. Free!
Also, you would have to get undressed to use this (same with my free solution). I still think it’s silly 🙂
I agree, silly. You know what would make it even sillier? Get Brad Pitt on board, and call it Brad PittShower.
HBO Max just announced they are changing the name of the successful medical show “The Pitt” to “The PittShower”
Finally, a product that answers the age-old question: “What if I wanted to wash just my armpits?”
It’s like a car wash for your underarms. Just hope no one drives through while you’re using it.
The inventor clearly lost a battle with his or her deodorant.
It’s possible that the PitShower can make you clean, confused, and slightly ashamed all at once.
What if the battery died halfway through? One pit stinky and one pit clean?
$108 to clean your armpits? I’ll squeegee them for $2.
PitShower has three power settings: Mild, Deeper Clean, and Existential Crisis.
(I’ll stop now.)
It might be silly but I wonder how they were only asking for $3,000.00? Their video must have cost more than that.
This will never ship. Many (most) of these product-centric Kickstarters never reach their customers. I am quite sure that this will be one of them. The Kickstarter is just a marketing trick, not really a way of raising much-needed funding.
