Does anyone use a foot spa at home?

I have size 9 EEE feet which won't fit in a washing up bowl. My daughters bought me mine when I joined Royal Mail as a postie back in the 1980s because they thought I would need it after all that walking! It has been in weekly use ever since, although I retired in 2008.

As I got older, I stopped worrying about emptying it immediately. I vacated my foot spa position to another chair, dried and pampered my feet, and then used an old tin cup to bail out half the water into the washing up bowl, making the foot spa easier to carry to the kitchen to empty the rest of the water.

I wouldn't be without it.

Never used one; a friend has one and says it is better than an orgasm.

Do think about how easily you will be able to carry it full of water. It is quite a weight.

I found that moving it AFTER using it was a problem

You have to remember that it is now directly in front of you on the towel.
You'll be sat with your wet feet either side of it - with no space to manoeuvre, without sloshing water all over the place.
If you attempt to slide it to one side - using your foot - you'll only succeed in soaking everywhere. I always had to 'holler' for my OH to come and take it away.

I just found it was no better than using a bowl of water - waste of money.

Yes. It's in the cupboard along with the Breville sandwich maker, face spa, slow cooker, steamer etc al.

We are on our 3rd over 15 years. Dont spend a lot. Ours no longer keeps hot. Have kettle boiled

Ours is used often. Not daily but a few times weekly. Mostly by DH but as I walk a lot and have phases of sore feet I use it then and its wonderful. Rocking chair, hit spa with lively foit stuff. Bliss...

Yes, I have an Elle MacPherson one my son bought me a few Christmases ago. I wouldn't be without it. Been doing lots of long walks in an attempt to keep the endorphins up during the virus and it's bliss at the end of the day!

You’ve just reminded that me that mine is sitting on top of a cupboard in the garage!

Yes, Lancslass1 I don’t want to drop the lot before I start, that would completely beat the object.

Good for you, Patsy .
I bring it in empty
Bring a washing up bowl of hot water in plus a kettle to top it up.
Yes it is difficult to pick up from the floor and I usually slop a bit of water but I don't care .

It is good to hear that you have found it so beneficial in aiding your recovery, Blossoming, and thank you for the information. I’m not usually one for buying products like this, but fancy some foot therapy, so will go ahead and treat myself and share it with my OH, Lancslass1. .

Sploshes!!! Not slashes.

And the faster you walk, the more it slashes.
I think I have an invention in mind.

A foot spa on wheels.

We have one and I love it.
We only have one bathroom so I bring it into the sitting room ,plug it in pour in some shower gel and relax.
It makes a noise and I can't feel any"bubbles" like a baby jacuzzi but I don't care.
Go on ,Patsy.
Treat yourself

Ah yes, that sounds easier to access than mine, hidden away at the bottom of the wardrobe.
It's good to know it has helped you, so people get a balanced view.

I presume they do good, because they've been around for years now.

Yes, my son bought one for me many years ago. hardly used it. too much bother.

Mine lives in the en-suite bathroom. There’s a handy power socket just outside the bathroom door. The foot spa sits at the bottom end of the shower cubicle, though I move it when I use the shower. I fill it up using the shower head, plug in, switch on, pull up a chair and enjoy

It has helped my recovery/rehab a lot, which I guess is an incentive for me to use it frequently.

It’s a Visiq Bubble foot spa massager, still available on the Argos web store, costs thirty quid.

I had one and couldn't be bothered to get it out, fill it up, find a towel... (being lazy is a curse, sometimes)

I don’t know if it’s permitted, but I can’t actually remember. I’ll have a look later. It’s a fairly cheap one from Argos.

Gave mine away

Are we permitted to name the brand Blossomimg and Kamiso? I would quite like to buy one now, rather than wait until after Christmas.
