What exactly is a sonic shower?

To throw a monkey wrench in the works, wasn't Ilia wet when she appeared in the sonic shower in TMP? Why would water be necessary if sound waves do the scrubbing?

Intuitively, it'd seem like water as a medium for the sound waves would be more useful than air...

Maybe the sound waves were ... strategically aimed ... and uh ... yeah ...

No wonder they describe a sonic shower as relaxing.

No more 'in my bunk.' Now it's 'in my sonic shower.' :rommie:
 
They talk about looking fwd to a sonic shower so it must be pleasant like a water shower.

New film mentions a "high pitch sonic shower" as the equivalent of males needing the proverbial cold shower. Hmm.

at her genitalia.

Lt. Ilia would never take advantage of a sexually inferior species, her oath of celibacy is on record. However, the sonic shower nozzles are fair game. :)

THAT was of most EPIC win!!!

Anyways... I've yet to see Juggernaut, so I dunno how it works or what it's like either. That's why when I write shower scenes in my fanfiction I completely ignore the existance of sonic showers and go right for the familiar water ones. ;)
