Collapsible shower / soak bucket
可折叠淋浴桶
Fold-flat soaking bucket for dorms, camping, and apartments without a tub. 1688 wholesale around ¥15; Western camping retail has not really noticed.
1688 back-to-school 2026 listings are everywhere. Combines camping, dorm, and ‘no bathtub’ urban living — three channels, one SKU.
Jacket color and logo from 100 pcs.
Light PP — factory routinely DDP cartons to SEA/NA warehouses and can parcel-sample to a residential address.

- Southeast Asia is competitive. Shade the $11 average without dropping through the $11.5 floor (factory $4.8 + landed $7).
- Europe listings are thin. Sit at a light premium to the $24 average; few sellers to undercut you.
