Silly question, is bubble bath no longer a thing?

How?

DP here but my 8 year old once got a UTI and it had to have been from a cheap bath bomb. There was no other reason and no other infections before or after.

Irritates urethra and bladder. Apparently can affect males as well.

My mom never let my sisters and me have a bubble bath because she said they caused UTIs. I took her word for it.

I had regular UTIs as a little girl, and the pediatrician apparently never asked my mom if I took bubble baths.

I took regular bubble baths with Mr. Bubble. I assume that is what caused it.

I just use a handful.of Epsom salts and baking soda for a relaxing bath. Not need for bubbles or bath bombs with toxic color.

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.

Stop with the instagram propaganda. It has nothing to do with “toxins” and everything to do with soap.

This is what my mom told me when I was a kid.

I’m 55 and recall my pediatrician telling my mom that I could never use the maybe then-new product, Mr Bubble because the chemicals and fragrance clearly activated my eczema.

I have always had sensitive and now delicate skin and only on the rarest occasion take a bath - when I do I probably add colloidal oatmeal or mineral oil.

Can’t think of the last time any of my adult DC
took a bath. We are renovating our longtime house and are including a tub - mostly with an eye on resale and for a future family w/ young children and or dogs.

I buy bubble bath from Target.

Sorry they were out of stock after the holiday week.
Order it online Target.com, and in the meantime use dish soap.

I keep the Dr. Teals Lavender sleep bubble bath on hand for when my kid is sick and wants a bath. We don't have a great tub for baths, unfortunately, but I love them too. But I prefer epsom salts or bath oil.

When you take a bubble bath, you should should rinse off your body afterwards just like you would wash off any soap product in the shower. If it sits on your skin, it can dry it out or cause irritation. I assume that is why people are talking about UTIs. Just rinse off under warm water at the end of your shower and it should resolve that issue. And you don't want to take a bubble bath too often because soaking in the bubbles regularly will cause dryness and irritation even if you always rinse off, especially if you take longer baths.

My Mom sold Avon as I was growing up & I loved their bubble baths!
There used to be so many!

About five yrs or so ago I was gifted a bath collection by a good friend/coworker.
It was a celebrity brand ™️ and it had a luxurious lavender bubble bath included in a lovely frosted plastic bottle.

The packaging + brand were nice but the bubble bath 🧼 didn’t create many bubbles 🫧……

We use the Mr. Teals bubble baths, lavender and eucalyptus.
