I’ll admit, I don’t particularly like camping. One of the things that always disturbs me when I set up my tent at a camp-site is the fact that I know I’ll have to make use of those communal showers at some point. 
These showers always seem dirty to me, and I always wonder what kind of germs and other things are living in them. Do they ever clean those places? I don’t know…sometimes it doesn’t seem like it!
However, the Eco Friendly Pocket Shower may be a nice alternative. It’s designed for those who need to shower when out in the middle of nowhere. I’m not sure how much privacy this cool item provides, but it does certainly get you clean. The shower folds into a pouch that is 45 mm by 80 mm by 140 mm, and it only weights 120g. However, when you unfold it, it can hold ten liters of water. You hang it from a tree branch or tent, fill it up with water, let it heat up for a few hours, and then shower away.
If you fill up the entire pouch, you will have enough water for about a seven minute shower. That’s not very long, but it’s enough for a quick rinse. The pocket shower also has a nozzle that lets you adjust the flow of water so you can have as much water pressure as you like. When you’re finished, just fold it up and move on. The entire device costs only $24.

I love to camp and this is awesome! Wow, how small does it fold up to? Extra weight is always a concern for backpacking.
