Blown Away by Triton

Filed under: Dermatology , OTC

Triton was a Greek god and mer-man

We're going to call the Triton Luxury Body Dryer a medgadget, because they claim blow-drying your body is more hygienic than towels. And because the pretty lady and the letters falling from the sky amused us (Triton's demo movie actually has a few moments that are NSFW, although, as they say, can be "great fun.")


This abstract is the best literature we could find that gave support to Triton's claims, but it's about hand-drying, and it compares air to paper towels. Also, this paper suggests the act of towel-drying stimulates immune cells. But then again, the Triton spokeswoman looks very healthy.

The thing I like best about this invention is the idea that people will gladly trade-off wet towels for wet floor mats. The water that drips from the body before the dryer completes its work has got to go someplace. That someplace used to be the towel. Now, I guess, it's the floormat.
