Object: Paper Shampoo

Have you ever had to face that nightmare of your shampoo leaking inside your suitcase? Discovering that your best holiday clothes and books are coated in a layer of gloopy soapsuds is not the way any of us wants to begin our dream break. Yet it sounds absurd to wish for shampoo in compact, non-liquid form. Magically paper shampoo is just that!

This brilliant invention comes in packs of 30 sheets of paper measuring at a very compact 9.5 x 4.5cm. To use, simply slide out a sheet from the sleek plastic case, add a small amount of water and lather up. No matter where you're travelling this convenient little necessity works a treat, as even sea water will dissolve the paper. What's more, each sheet has a mint aroma, giving the illusion of real mint scented shampoo. Who'd have thought it was possible to stay glamorous and fresh even when trekking through a dense jungle or in the mountainous wilderness.

Paper shampoo is also ideal for short breaks when you don't want to pack a large suitcase; the product is allowed in airport hand luggage and is so lightweight you won't notice you're carrying it. Furthermore, this versatile and inexpensive creation is also available in citrus and wild rose.
