This hands-free Sensor Soap Pump will keep your hand soap handy and very stylish. The pump has an infra-red sensor to detect your hand and can dispense one of four different volumes of soap. There’s also a continuous dispensing button, presumably to be used for practical jokes. It needs 4 AA batteries, which will last 3 to 12 months and it holds about 400mL (14 fl.oz). It can also dispense hand lotion, but probably not toothpaste. US$39.99

The sensor soap pump dispenses soap touch-free to help avoid cross-contamination. Simply place your hand under the sensor to dispense soap automatically. An optional LED light timer blinks for 20 seconds to indicate how long to lather for germ-free hands. Four volume settings allow the pump to dispense preset amounts of soap or lotion. Operates on 4 AA batteries (not included).
