Soaker

Soaker is a noun with several related meanings. Broadly, it describes a person or object that causes or undergoes soaking. The term is used across contexts, from gardening and cleaning to recreation and everyday speech. In common usage it often implies releasing moisture gradually or thoroughly, rather than by rapid application.

In horticulture and home irrigation, a soaker refers to a soaker hose, a perforated flexible hose that delivers water directly to the soil at a slow rate, reducing evaporation and runoff.

In recreational contexts, "soaker" is used for a water gun designed to shoot water. The brand name Super Soaker became synonymous with this type of toy.

In informal language, a person who takes a long bath or soak may be described as a "soaker," though this usage is less common and regional.
