Bubble bath

[Annabella92]

Aibu to think this phrase has vanished in recent years? I can't tell how long... maybe 20+

I'm sure I used to hear people say it, I heard it recently and it just sounded so odd.

?
It's not a phrase
It's the name of an item
And no I don't think it's remotely vanished

What?😂

Eh? I use it on a daily basis to describe an actual item

I put my kids in a bubble bath (a bath full of bubbles), made with bubble bath (the stuff in a bottle) regularly.

I've just had a bubble bath.

Just checked the Tesco website. It's still called Bubble bath on the packaging for kids. For adults it still has bubble bath in the website description, but says bath soak or bath foam on the packaging.

It's the name of my favourite perfume, from Maison Margiela. It's also the name of an 'iconic' nail polish shade from OPI.

I love that perfume! I layer it with 'when the rain stops'

I noticed this recently when looking for a bubble bath. It’s a term rarely used by brands anymore. It’s because the posher kinds tend not to make so many bubbles I reckon. So it’s all bath soaks or oils

I don’t say it often because I don’t like baths so have no need to buy or use bubble bath. I’m not sure how else I’d refer to though.

Yes OP it's almost disappeared from retail marketing. Packaging on bubble bath often calls it "bath foam" these days when it's actually just good old bubble bath. 🤣 I suppose someone in a marketing department decided "bath foam" or "bath elixir" sounded posher.

I get what you mean OP.

It’s not advertised as such anymore.

When was (if ever?) there an advert for Radox bubble bath on TV??

😂. I may have lost the plot as knackered today…

I seem to remember the 'relax in a radox bath' being for the (non bubbly) original radox bath salts.

It's a 'bath soak' now, but makes jolly nice bubbles in the soft water round here.

I don't mean as in the bottle of soap itself, I mean like having a bubble bath. Nobody says they're having or had a bubble bath anymore

Eh? No! I like a good bubble bath!!

@Annabella92 Did you mean to just think this to yourself? And accidently started a thread on mumsnet?!

It was running round in my head making me think I was mad.. so thought I'd see if I was the only one

I have a bubble bath most nights - I usually use Matey bubbles as they are the most bubbly (you know, in a pirate bottle for children?) and don't leave the bath all slimy like bath oils do.

Did you mean to be so rude? 🤔

Wasn't a question to you ......

At first I thought yabu, of course it exists! But then I've checked the bathroom and all the bubble bath products actually say bath soak, bath elixir...etc so yanbu at all, however it will always be bubble bath to me! 🤣

Bubble bath is the thrush inducing work of the devil, it has no place in my life!

Did you mean to scroll by a thread you're not interested in an accidentally comment/make yourself look like a bit of a wally? 🤭

I was interested as to what it was ....
Oh no some random on the Internet, emoji laughed at me...
And called me a "wally"
Gutted

I have one weekly. I think because it's now very bubbly if you have hard water. Perhaps people complained it was very accurate.
