Dad thought it was unnecessary — until the first use. Then it became non-negotiable. The angled pour keeps water off baby's face, it's gentle enough for a soft newborn head, and it solves the exact problem Mom identified: shampoo in baby's eyes during rinse.
Mom's reason was clear: shampoo getting into baby's eyes during rinsing. Dad's initial reaction was skepticism — did we really need a special cup just for rinsing? Then we used it once. That was the end of the skepticism.
We hadn't tried anything else before this — once it worked, we stuck with it.
"The whole point was keeping shampoo out of her eyes and it does exactly that. The way it's angled, you can direct the water right where you need it without it running down onto baby's face. Much easier to control than a regular cup or just using your hand. For bath time with a newborn, being able to direct the water precisely makes a real difference."
"I'll be honest — when my wife bought this I thought it was an unnecessary purchase. It's a cup. For rinsing. How special can it be? First time I used it I immediately understood. The angle it pours at is genuinely helpful for a baby's soft head. It's gentle, you can control exactly where the water goes, and it doesn't dump a big splash on baby's face like a regular cup would. Would I have bought it myself? Probably not. Do I think it's needed? After using it — yes. You don't want it, you need it."
One thing worth being upfront about: it's a smaller rinser. You'll need to refill it a few times for a full hair rinse. Dad's initial instinct might be — why not just get a bigger one?
Here's why: a bigger cup would be harder to maneuver around a baby's head. You need to be able to see what you're doing, control where the water goes, and angle it precisely. A large cup works against all of that. The smaller size is intentional and the right call for this use case.
There's a shower-style pour option that spreads water gently instead of one big stream. For a newborn's soft head that's the way to go. As baby gets older and less fragile, you switch to the regular pour. We used shower mode the whole newborn phase without any issue.
For a newborn — yes, buy it. Dad went from "this is unnecessary" to "you need this" after one use. Mom already knew. The angled pour and gentle shower mode make rinsing actually manageable. Would buy again 100%.
