Transforming an Ordinary Tub into Your Personal Spa: Ultimate Comfort Tips
Hello everyone, I bet you can't wait to finish your tasks each day and jump straight into your bathtub, right? Your trusty repairman here wants to help you take your bath time experience into the peak of comfort and relaxation. So, without further ado, let's dive into it!
Smooth Sailing: Dealing with Slippery Surfaces
Many of us have had the unpleasant experience of slip-sliding in the bathtub during a relaxing soak. Bathtubs, by design, are slick and some are quite deep. You can avoid potential injury or discomfort by finding a way to make the bottom surface of your tub less slippery.
Non-Slip Mats
A non-slip mat is the simplest solution to prevent slipping accidents. Many non-slip mats come with suction cups that adhere firmly to the bottom surface of your bathtub. They can also add a fun pop of color to your bathroom!
Anti-Slip Strips
If you don't like the idea of a mat, consider using anti-slip strips. These thin, adhesive strips can be strategically placed where you're most likely to step.
Softening the Edges: Enhancing Comfort
Although bathtubs are designed for relaxing soaks, they're not naturally comfortable for all body types or postures, especially if you want to lay back and read a book. Fear not, I have the perfect solutions for you!
Bath Pillows
Invest in a bath pillow. These babies will help support your head, neck, and shoulders, effectively transforming your plain bathtub into a luxurious spa. Make sure to get a pillow with suction cups to keep it from floating away during your bath.
Padding the Ledges
Sometimes, the hard edges of your tub can be uncomfortable for resting your arms or legs. A tub ledge cover manufactured from waterproof, soft material can greatly increase the comfort level.
Piping Hot Soaks: Maintaining the Ideal Water Temperature
There's nothing worse than setting up for a long soak only to have the bathwater turn lukewarm after a short while. Here's how to maintain the perfect water temperature!
Bath Insulation
Bubble wrap is an affordable DIY solution for this. Stick it to the sides and bottom of your tub under a non-slip mat, and it will keep your water warm for longer.
Bath Caddy
Consider getting a bath caddy, perfect for holding that cup of piping hot tea or coffee (or glass of wine if you're feeling fancy), to further enhance your soak. This handy addition also instantly becomes the perfect spot for resting your book or gadget.
Boost Your Bath: Aromatherapy and Bath Bombs
Finally, spoil yourself with aromatherapy oils or bath bombs. The soothing fragrances will further elevate your experience, transforming your ordinary bathroom into a tranquil escape.
Aroma Oils
A few drops of your favorite aroma oil in the bathwater can change your bubble bath experience drastically. Lavender, chamomile, or eucalyptus oils are fantastic for relaxation.
Bath Bombs
Bath bombs are fun, fizzy, and colorful additions to your tub. They also leave your skin feeling soft and pampered, enveloping you in a cloud of your favorite scent.
