Silly question, is bubble bath no longer a thing?

| My 10 year old has been sick the last few days and asked to take a bath. I went to Target to pick up some bubble bath and only found 1 bottle of watermelon scented Mr Bubble and another kind for babies. Looking on Amazon the results are also very pretty limited. I remember there being many types and scents of bubble bath when I was younger, even when *she* was younger. Is bubble bath no longer cool? Has it been replaced with bath bombs? Do people just take bubble-less baths these days? |

| Epsom salt baths are big. Bath bombs are everywhere. |

| I used to love bubble baths, but you are right, I never hear anyone talking about them. |

| I think most use shower gel. Bath and Body Works sells a ton of it. |

| Bath bombs are trendier, but expensive. |

| Bath bombs. Does the same thing. Less packaging. |

Bubble baths are never a good idea for females, due to plumbing issues down there. Be sure to shower well afterwards to get those toxins off you. Boys and men especially are not likely to take a bubble bath either, especially if they come out smelling like daisies, even after a shower afterwards. |

| Isn't bubble bath linked to cystitis and urinary tract issues in girls? |

I’ve used Philosophy gels for bubble baths for years without issues. (It’s pricey, but a little goes a long way.) The Frosted Animal Cracker scent is really cute and sweet:

The girls use bath bombs made with baking soda.
Bubble bath invites yeast infections. |

Yes. My sister when she was little got a urinary tract infection from the bubble bath. She also had problems with her ovaries/fallopian tubes but I do mot know if that was caused by the bubble baths. |

Urinary problems are probably not because of the bubbles, but because of the bath.
Although kids took baths when I grew up, not showers, and never had an infection, but am aware it's a risk. FWIW my house doesn't even have a bathtub anymore, in a nod to approaching age after a serious fracture involving a clawfoot tub (enamel over cast iron original tub) |

That's not the same as bubble bath. |
