Trying to modify a real pipe into a bubble pipe

But I need to know what those things you find in certain body wash tubes that, when squeezed, let the soap out but keeps other crap out are.

Basically, I'm thinking about getting one of those and jamming it into a 4 dollar wooden pipe so I can pour a little soapy water into the end of the pipe and the thing I get from the body wash tube is supposed to prevent the water from creeping its way down the blow tube. This way, I can toot to my hearts content without worrying about choking on bubbly water.

I'd like to know what I'm supposed to call those stoppers that only let the soap go out from one direction so I can maybe buy one from a bulk hardware store instead of fudging with my body wash bottle.

Does that make any sense?

    That's a resounding no. I'll get around to posting pics of said mechanism when I'm less incoherent.

    Are you making an awesome soap bubble sherlock holmes smoking pipe? If so that's awesome. And you certainly need a valve.

    Oh, I read that whole thing and realized you weren't talking about like a pipe that goes underneath your bathroom sink.

    God I was so confused.

    Get a pipe with a sufficient curve in it and just fill it with water and soap.

    Sure, you'll have to be careful of not inhaling through the pipe, but it'll work out and be far easier than what you're talking about attempting.
