Nice Stuff to go in the Bath šŸ›

Hello smile

Please can I have some suggestions for nice bath products?

I’m sick of wasting money on stuff that a) doesn’t have any discernible scent; and b) doesn’t foam.

Thank you!

I love Molton Brown. And it lasts a long time.

Aaran bath and shower gel plus body moisturiser - lovely long lasting scent.

Molton Brown's Orange and Bergamot. Pricy, but long lasting, with a lovely perfume ( in my opinion) and if you get on their email list, there are sometimes offers on products.

My favourite is Fenjal too Summer fly. Foaming bath oil, shower mousse and body lotion. Yes they have stopped doing talc unfortunately.
Another absolute must for me is a large handful of Epsom salts to ease aches and pains.

Our bath is a cast iron one on four animal feet the previous owners put in. Don't be conned by how lovely they are because ours isn't it's very slippery.
Once, when DH was away, I thought I would treat myself to a tiny bottle of Molton Brown bath soap, and I got in.
When I tried to get out I couldn't I kept slipping back in and couldn't step over the side without doing myself an injuryblush
L'Ocitaine is very nice but make sure it is soap and does not have oil in it. Molton Brown Bergamot is lovely as well.

Faith in Nature bath gel is organic, lovely subtle scents and gives masses of bubbles. It definitely doesn't dry my skin...

L'Occitaine Verbena bath and shower gels. Hand cream gorgeous too

I use Badedas, have for years, my children say the smell evokes memories.

What is the bath chair recommended by Riverwalk please?

I’m interested too please for my MIL who is struggling with the bath now but refuses to use the shower šŸ™„

Amelia, I will have a look and post a link later.

Thanks again everyone, I’ve been a bit busy and haven’t had time to read properly yet.
I have added some Badedas to my Morrison’s order though smile

I think you need to ask Fanny Amelia I don’t use one.

I have a long bath (up to 2 hours blush every morning, to calm my RA aches and pains, and have settled on Dove Foam Bath. It only has a mild smell but I have never had dry skin, which is my main requirement.

Elless Wed 05-Apr-23 10:03:12

Lush bath bombs are amazing but you only need half of one, they smell gorgeous and make the water really soft plus it's fun to watch them fizzing away 😊

Calli, I love fenjal and have used it for many years. They used to do talc but I can’t seem to find it anymore.

MrsKen33 Tue 04-Apr-23 20:03:10

My absolute favourite is REN bath oil. However although we do have a bath I haven’t used it for ages. The Ren stuff I like is a bit oily and slippery for a shower .At the moment I am using a big bar of soap from TKMaxx. Rose and Geranium . TKMaxx is brilliant for bath stuff.

I love Badedas, but my Mum always used to use Badedas but only at Christmas as she said the pine smell reminded her off Christmas. So I also only use it at Christmas- crazy I know.

But for Christmas last year my daughter asked for some nice bubble bath after some research I bought her a Neals Yard set, she absolutely loves it. So I might treat myself to some.

Patsy70 Tue 04-Apr-23 19:21:41

FannyCornforth. I like the deep natural sea salts (those that dissolve), and add a few drops of essential oils; my favourite is rose & geranium. I also like Neom, L’Occitane and many of those already suggested. Enjoy your soak, it is so very therapeutic, especially with scented candles and maybe some gentle music? 😊

CanadianGran Tue 04-Apr-23 18:42:18

I second Dr. Teal's, and Ombra if you have it available there. Nice scents, and the bubbles last a bit longer than others .

Washerwoman Tue 04-Apr-23 18:24:48

Neals Yard and Tisserand Bath oils and foams for me.And bought some lovely bath salts from a little shop un Anglesey called Bare.You can order refills for the bottle so I must do that.

GrannyGravy13 Tue 04-Apr-23 15:56:41

Neom is my go to range for bath/shower products, M & S Therapy range is nice also.

Norah Tue 04-Apr-23 15:49:51

We use Original Source Lavendar shower gel, pleasant smell.

Easy to use a dab, fast, no time wasted.

JackyB Tue 04-Apr-23 15:30:39

As I'm trying to reduce plastic in the bathroom I buy sachets of bath additives. I'm not sure if it makes for less plastic all in all but those huge bottles of bubble bath are definitely not coming into my house any more.

DH and I bath together, as we have a huge bathtub and I wouldn't run a bath just for myself. So we go for scents that are neutral and not too floral, such as almond or lemon. None of this will help you, except to say that a liquid bubble bath certainly foams more than crystals.

GranEd Tue 04-Apr-23 13:21:48

Another vote for Badedas ..smells gorgeous and also produces lots of bubbles from a little squirt so economical too.
( Not that I’m suggesting either of us are little squirts Fanny!🤣🤣🤣)
I also bought the ā€˜bath seat gizmo’ recommended by Riverwalk and am forever grateful to her. šŸ™
