Mumsnet Talk

I AM MUMSNETTING IN THE BATH!!!

Ahem.

which brings me to ask, for the ultimate bathing experience what should i put in the water?

<places flannel modestly>

<tries not to drop phone>

Is it something cheap and clever like avocado oil? Or something hilariously extravagent and divine? tell me and i will slavishly go and buy it before my next bath.

<splish splash splosh>

This is fabulous - it's so thick you virtually need a spoon to get it out of the container, but a little goes a long way so it's worth the silly money.

Karma bubble bars from Lush are good - and unlike bath bombs you can break them up so they go a bit further.

This is nice too, and actually more relaxing than anything!

I am now out of the bath and Mumsnetting in the sitting room. <boring>

That second link doesn't work, but the 1st one looks good. Thank you!

Floris Malmaison bath oil. But you can't get it any more

I dont like the smell of that Champneys one - too strong for me. I love Snow Angel from Lush, or any radox

If you want to spend silly money, Ren Morrocan Rose Otto bath oil is gorgeous. Be warned though it will ruin you for anything else.
Alternatively just get a few essential oils and blend your own.

Jo Malone Nutmeg & Ginger Bath Oil.

Radox? RADOX? The packet of scratchy powder my Grandad uses when he "goes to soak... well...y'know... goes for a soak" ?? NO! That's not perfect. And it smells of aeroplane toilets.

And Malmaison bath oil no longer in production? Am I NEVER to have a perfect bath?

Now that Ren stuff looks more like it! It's £45 a go! Ha ha ha ha - I want it!

I can't go in to Jo Malone. It makes me feel too sad that I can't ever have one of her poncy overpriced candles because I am physically incapable of spending that much one one and my guilt and self loathing propels me out of the shop before I get a chance to buy anything.

The Ren rose oil is gorgeous. You only need a couple of capfuls so it does last reasonably well. It makes the whole of the bathroom smell like Turkish Delight.

It sounds as though it deserves a bathroom like this.

Mine has rather more emphasis on bath toys and Johnsons No More Tears.

Maybe I meant Ralgex then!! It starts with an R anyway - It comes in lovely scents like brasilian rainforest and caramel toffee smells nothing like a toilet, honest!!

I second Ren Rose oil - heavenly!

Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Honey Bath. Smells delicious but price is a bit daft!

Weleda Chestnut Toning Bath doesn't sound particularly promising but it's bloody gorgeous - a light aromatic, slightly woody smell. Lovely for winter and summer and hangovers .

And it miraculously tones you up while you bathe ( it doesn't really ). What's not to like?

Ooh I like the sound of that Weleda one - can you buy it in store anywhere or only online?

I like Badedas horse chestnut too.

I also like Molton Brown eucalyptus and MB black pepper and also pink peppercorn but they are stupidly expensive.

Just to check, I expect a lot from the perfect bath unguent - it must smell delicious, not leave the bath a mess, make my skin moisturised and possibly do the washing up while I'm soaking.

L'occitane rose is gorgeous as is the shea milk bath.
Quite fancy giving the Ren one a try tho.
SilentBoob why were you in the bath at 3.50 am

<seeker mourns Malmaison Bath oil- hasn't thought of it for years-but wants some so badly now.....>

Remus - there's a store locator on the Weleda home page (scroll down)

Weleda

Weleda tends to be stocked by independent chemists rather than the big chains ime, but the locator should tell you more.

Oooh great thread especially as I have been pondering the same question of late! Am running out of a £41-odd bottle of Molton Brown bubble bath - a gift! I also want something that won't leave the bath slippy and manky, which smells nice and, here's the big one, is a soap replacement! Does it exist?

ren rose otto bath oil

Thanks Robin.

Radox does very naice bubble bath now. Not just scratchy arse salts.

Origins Matcha Tea Bath Soak is very delicious and makes you feel really healthy, detoxed and cleansed zing zing
