Munchkin Shampoo Rinser, Colors May Vary

Practical
I use this to bathe my infant. I still don’t use the flexible contour against my baby’s head so I can’t comment on how well it works to keep the water from her eyes, but I do use it to rinse her head and other body parts. I looked everywhere for a rinsing cup and this was the one I liked best. Easy to use and clean, holds a good amount of water, and it’s nice that it’s soft.Review update (Jan 2012): My baby is old enough now that I’ve tried to use the cup as directed, against her head, to rinse without water running down her face. It sort of worked, but as another reviewed mentioned, it is not as effective as my hand to hold back the water. It’s just quicker and more effective for me to use my hand. However, I still find the rinsing cup pretty helpful to take her shampoo off as it holds a nice amount of water.Just a few cleaning and storage tips: 1) Make sure you rinse the cup well and set it to dry after each use, otherwise gunk can build up easily. I also found it hard to clean inside the cup holder, especially at the bottom. I guess it’s because of the single-piece design. In this sense a traditional cylinder cup would be easier to clean more thoroughly. Once a month or so I rinse with white vinegar to prevent mold.2) I have two of these and one of the cups was stored in a tight space where it got squished. After a few weeks it had become deformed and lost its shape. I managed to bring it back almost to the original shape by filling it with water and letting it sit, but it’s not perfect. So, don’t squish it when you store it!

Would purchase again
I love that it holds a good amount of water and is pretty flexible. But I did run it through the top rack of the dishwasher once to get the mildew cleaned out of the handle and it sort of warped it. Still usable and I never used it to push against my son’s head anyways so it still does the trick. I usually just use my hand to prop underneath his chin to keep his head back and just pour the water gently. Works quickly and he doesn’t usually fuss too much because the water is avoiding his eyes. Did not get to choose the color and was sent a pink one for my little boy, but I really don’t care too much about that.

Much better than the Skip Hop one
We had the Skip Hop whale-shaped rinser first, and it’s nice looking but that’s about it. The spout is not super helpful. It grows mold after a relatively short time. I figured I can’t buy a Skip Hop branded one every few months so we switched to these. I bought this munchkin one in September 2017 and one more recently in July 2018 after noticing mold. So yes, this one will grow mold (everything left in the bath does, unfortunately). However, I think it deteriorates slower than the Skip Hop brand. I think these are cheap enough to replace once in a while. The flexible spout is more useful than the Skip Hop design. We will continue to buy these every 6-12 months. Colors do vary: both times we received pink.

Buy this!!
We had the old version of this rinse cup and loved it but the handle used to be hollow. It worked great but eventually grew hold in the part I couldn’t reach to clean. They definitely fixed the issue by making the handle no longer hollow! I’ve thrown it in the dishwasher a few times to keep it clean with no problems. I love the material of the cup I can use it during bath time to push against my littlest head so it doesn’t go in the eyes! I’ll definitely purchase again when this one breaks down, although the old one worked for 2years so it might be a while!

Great product, during my grandson’s bath time I don’t need to worry about the rinser falling and hurting him. It’s soft and sturdy enough to rinse his hair.

Nickel, super pratique dans le bain même si au final, on s’en sert plus comme une simple “cruche”.Les enfants s’amusent à remplir, vider l’eau du bain entre eux et sur eux, dans les petits bacs, les petits jouets.Quant à son réel usage, ça fonctionne très bien (appui sur le front) mais on n’en a plus l’utilité.
