I don't know why, but I've never been able to keep a cup in the bathroom for rinsing after brushing my teeth. For my entire adult life, after brushing, I bend over and jam my mouth to the faucet of the bathroom sink and I occassionally (usually when a guest of someone else's house) feel that this is
a violation of ettiquette or somehow barbaric.
The cold tap of the bathroom sink should have an attachment that functions as a water fountain. Press the button and cold water shoots up allowing one to rinse in a civilized manner.

This'll do the trick, but it's not quite what you want [lurch, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 17 2004]

Push button water fountains are baked. |

My grandparents' bathroom faucet had an aerator with a spring-loaded cross-slide. Pretty simple, but I haven't been able to google one up yet. |
|
| |
[half]-I had one of those.
<consumer advice>It's not worth duck spit</ca> |
|

I'm not persuaded that this is baked. |
|

[Lurch]'s link is in the right ballpark as far as having a third tap and not being designed for 4 year olds, but it's designed to help clean the sink, not to drink from. |

Yes, push button water fountains are baked, but so far, not the push button water fountain/bathroom sink combo. |

//The cold tap of the bathroom sink should have an attachment that functions as a water fountain// The linked items are designed specifically to do this. I have had several of the gizmos that [lurch] linked to. It's not a third tap. But they are nifty little things, particularly the ones with 2 joints. Great for the kitchen sink. |

I guess I interpreted the proposal incorrectly. So, is the proposal for an additional, separate piece of hardware that dispenses cold water or an attachment (diverter?) to existing cold water dispensing hardware? |

In my youth, I lived at a house (built in the mid-70's), that had a bathroom faucet that had a striking resemblance to... well... erect male anatomy. The water flowed towards you in a gentle arc. Sipping from the faucet was easy. |

I don't keep a cup in the bathroom either; I just cup my hands under the sink and drink from that. Just as barbaric, but not quite so messy. |
|
| |
Great idea, I'd buy one!! + |

If you can bend down far enough, you could use the bidet. |
