Japanese girls are very image conscious, but good hygiene is such a bother. Why expend energy lathering and scrubbing if you don’t have to? Dirty teens can pay about $30 to hop into Avant’s Santelubain 999, close the lid, and relax while the coffin-shaped contraption treats them to a sudsy wash, body lotion, or even a seaweed treatment. Their noggins protrude to let them enjoy aromatherapy and soothing sounds. Avant has sold 70 of these $152,000 pods to beauty salons in Japan. What’s next? A tumble dryer?
