"Another interesting product of theirs is the flat pak soap bar case. It intentionally lets moisture out so that the bar inside dries. We took a shampoo bar with us on a long trip instead of liquid shampoo, and the case worked great. FlatPak™ Soap Bar Case – Matador (matadorup.com)"on: Matador's FlatPak Toiletry Bottles

"Does preventing excess flood water to escape the system have adverse consequences? -Where does that excess water and pressure go if it can't exit the storm drain... plumbing fixtures upstream of the sewer perhaps? I'd rather have that water escape at the storm drain than from fixtures in my house... The floating ball concept is good and prevention of mosquito breeding is definitely a plus. I think that the gradient perforation pattern of the storm drain is nicely resolved. "on: Design Concept for a Self-Sealing Storm Drain
