Body Dryer


Their goal is to help you have a refreshing bacteria free drying experience. Traditional drying options such as the towel demand a considerable amount of maintanence and several of the same product. They looked at the evolution of hand drying systems in bathrooms and saw a natural progression with body drying. Hand drying options began with a simple tri-fold paper towel, next was a low powered wall unit for drying (inefficient), then came efficient high powered wall units, and finally the Dyson two sided drying system where the water is pushed down off the hands. They see this same evolution happening with the whole body and are already on the high powered and efficient drying step.
