Creative ways of using bath bombs without a bathtub include dissolving them in a bucket of water, using them as deodorizers, using them in the shower as fizzies. You can also use bath bombs to prepare a foot soak, or even put them in sachets in your house for a great, inviting aroma.

When you buy some of the best-smelling therapeutic bath bombs in the world (like these), the last thing you want to do is worry about whether or not you have a bath tub. I can tell you for sure, you can enjoy a spa-like experience even without a tub. And I’m going to show you how below.

6 Ways to Use Bath Bombs Without a Tub

The benefits of bath bombs go beyond the standard bathtub. With DIY creative ideas, you can utilize them for different purposes in your house. Here are 6 ways to use bath bombs without a bathtub.

1. THE TRADITIONAL BATH

No bathtub? No problem!

One way you can still enjoy your bath bombs without a bathtub is dissolving them in a bucket or basin of water, then scooping the water and pouring it on your body.

The fresh and invigorating feeling is still felt all over the body. Using warm water for this purpose gives the best results.

2. PREPARE A FOOT SOAK

You don’t need to use these bombs on the whole body to feel their great benefits. You can use them as a foot soak especially after a hard day at work. A vibrating soak like the Conair Foot Spa/Pedicure Spa with Soothing Vibration Massage can really make your experience better.

Fill your bucket or basin with warm water. Rather than throwing in the whole bath bomb, cut it into two halves then drop one half into the bucket/basin. Soak in your feet for about 15 to 20 minutes.

You can do yourself one more by scrubbing your feet and toes.

When you’re done, pat your feet dry before walking away. This is because the oil in the bath bombs can make your feet very slippery. This increases the risk of falling or tripping.

3. USE BATH BOMBS IN THE SHOWER AS FIZZIES

There are two ways to use bath bombs in the shower;

  • You can put it into an organza bag, tie one end to the showerhead. When you turn on the hot water shower, its steam will make the bath bomb release the fragrance into your bath.
  • You can also place the bath bomb on the floor of the bathroom. When the water hits the floor, it will also come into contact with the bath bomb releasing its fragrance.

You will still have a bath that smells and feels great even without a bathtub.

4. USE THEM IN DRAWER SACHETS

Away from the bathtub, you can use your bath bombs as a drawer sachet to fill your drawer with a great aroma. Using sachets is also one of the great ways to store bath bombs.

To do this, put a bath bomb inside an organza bag then tie one end and place it in your drawer. The smell will float in the drawer leading to great-smelling clothes.

5. USE BATH BOMBS AS DEODORIZERS

  • Place them in your closet to add a fragrance to your clothes.
  • Put them in your car to freshen the air up.
  • Dissolve a bath bomb in a cup of water then pouring the water in a spray bottle to create a homemade fabric and air freshener.

If you keep thinking along these lines, you can generate various creative ways to use bath bombs in many other different ways.

6. SUGAR BATH BOMB SCRUBS

Who says bath bombs are just for bathing? Certainly not as they can be put to many different uses with great results. For example, you can mix them with other ingredients and come up with a good scrub to exfoliate your body.

Here’s how to make a body scrub using bath bombs:

  1. Wrap the bath bomb in a plastic bag then crush it lightly using a small mallet or another light object.
  2. Put the crushed bath bomb in a small container.
  3. Add half (1/2) a cup of sugar.
  4. Add a third (1/3) a cup of melted coconut oil to the mixture.
  5. Cover the container then shake the mixture thoroughly.

Use the scrub in your shower for a sensational exfoliating experience.

Bath bombs give you options on what you want to use them for. They are great products that, with some ideas, you can use in many places in your home.
