Editor's Notes

July 14, 2020:

People have been bathing in some fashion or another for thousands of years, and today that love of relaxing while getting clean hasn't diminished. However, you may not always have access to a traditional built-in tub. Portable tubs are a perfect solution that can be set up virtually anywhere you have water, and because of their light weight, they can be folded and stowed away when not in use. So grab a bath bomb and a shower sponge and hop in.

If you have a stand up shower, then the Luckup Freestanding Round, Weylan Tec Foldable, and G Ganen 3 Layer Spa are all great choices as they can be set up inside this already waterproof space, and they feature valves that can be opened inside the stall for draining and cleanup. While these models are great for some spaces, most of them necessitate a cross-legged sitting position, which may not always be comfortable for longer soaks or even possible for those with back or leg injuries. The Co-Z Free Standing FBTBN and Tubble Royale are a smart option for those who need to be able to stretch their legs, as their long designs let users sit with their feet out in front of them. They also come with tops that zip closed to trap the water's heat and keep you warm for a long time, and they are lower to the ground than many other styles making entry much easier.

For those with newborns, the Intime Infant 6F-3BUV and Summer Lil Luxuries Whirlpool are worth looking into. The former is inflatable and easy to store, while the latter includes a retractable shower head that can removed and used in other tubs, and it even has an insert to help keep babies in a safe and secure position.
