To think adults dont use “bath bombs”

[OffredsNose]

I seem to get tons of them for Christmas. They always smell old fashioned and I can’t imagine anyone actually using them apart from children?! I’ve just chucked one in the bath (to get rid of it) and watched it melt away. Absolutely pointless surely?

YABU - they’re great
YANBU - they’re pointless for anyone over the age of 12

They're horrible itchy things and stain the bath - any I get I throw out straight away

They're just bicarb and oil, leave the bath all greasy

Nah, thrush. No thankyou.

I love them, especially the Lush ones. Some of the Lush ones make me sleepy and are great right before bed.

Recipe for a thrushy fanny and a blocked plughole; ghastly things.

I think the bath bomb audience probably coincides with the hot choc, wrist warmers, fluffy socks audience.

What an odd post, bath bombs aren’t for children, so it’s odd to think they’re only for kids when they’re made for and marketed for adults.

I love Lush bath bombs, DH gave me an enormous box from Lush at Christmas.

Love them and not had thrush. Stopped using them as Lush are £5 a go now and I can buy neom for £20 and get more baths

YANBU - One from Lush gave me such a bad UTI that I ended up admitted into hospital

I love bath bombs

I'm prone to thrush and cystitis and bath bombs don't bother me. It's bloody weird how different fannies react to the same scents, stimulus. You can never be bloody certain of anything!.

Lush --> thrush.

I hate hot chocolate, do not own a wrist warmer - I’m not actually sure I can picture a pair! - and have only ever had fluffy socks bought for me (kept unworn at the back of the drawer… thanks SIL) but I have just had a bath with a nice vanilla scented bath bomb. Luckily, I’ve never had thrush either… depends whether you’re prone to it I assume. What is meant to block the plug hole? The ones I use all melt away to nothing!

Thrush bombs more like! Would love to have bubble baths or bath bombs but too risky!

😳🤣

Some of them (particularly the ones from Lush) have items embedded, like flower petals or herbs. They end up floating on the surface of the water and actually look quite nice. The problem is with draining the bath - they either end up sitting there and have to be cleaned up or, much worse, they go down the plug hole and cause a blockage.

There is probably some clever way to keep the solid additives from causing issues but I have no idea what it is. Maybe skim the top of the water with a sieve before pulling the plug?

I like them, my fanny has never had a problem with them

I use them and love them. My DD15 and I have a basket where we keep any we are gifted and both use them. Personal choice huh.

I have sensitive skin so nothing smelly and I have a shower. Mine was gratefully received by a local charity.

Can't use Bath bombs....they make an intimate area look like a pair of padded coat hangers so I steer well clear.

back in the day, they were called 'bath cubes' and were what you gave your grandma

I'm not a fan because they are mostly cheap and horrible.

My 8yo wants to go to Lush to spend her birthday money! My fanny itches at the mere thought of bath bombs.

🤣🤣🤣very descriptive

DD1 (15) is obsessed, she likes a bath after she plays football. I buy them from TK Maxx for her. Never realised the large ones were suppose to be broken up, may explain the itchy vulvas some people get if they are using too much.

I like them, never had any problems.
Bubble bath however always ends up in a uti.
