Kmart's $29 item solves common camping problem: 'Best contraption ever'

There's nothing worse than a camping trip to a site with no showers – at least in my opinion. But it turns out there's a solution and Kmart has come in and saved the day with a $29 portable shower.

One Kmart shopper, Ofa Mario, tells Yahoo Lifestyle why she loves the item and why she thinks it's a must-have for those on the road. While she was excited to get her hands on the shower, she wanted to see if the water pressure actually holds up and if it can last beyond a few uses.

Kmart shopper reveals must-have camping item: 'Such good bang for your buck'

Ofa tells us that it's "such good bang for your buck", especially when "compared to others on the market that go for $100+."

She explains that she found the instructions "super easy to follow" and that it wasn't "too heavy to carry around" and that it has a handy strap.

When asked about cons, surprisingly, Ofa couldn't give us any, saying, "Can't fault it for its price and how much it helped me."

She also found some unexpected uses for the shower, telling us, "It was perfect for my stand-up paddle board as I was staying at a non-powered site and there was a saltwater lake, [it was] perfect for hosing down the board."

"Even when I go to the beach and don’t want to lug my board to the showers I just pack the portable one and spray it down," Ofa says.

Ofa also shared a TikTok review of the portable shower, telling one of her commenters that she managed to grab it in-store after they said they couldn't see it online.

In her video, she tells viewers, "I'm going to show you guys the best contraption ever, and how it is saving my life right now."

She showed that she used it for around 10-15 minutes nonstop.

"Run, don't walk," she added at the end.

Many other Kmart fans commented on the video, with one saying, "Me sad after buying the original for much more and Kmart bringing a knock off weeks later."
