Bathmat

I love these things. I think this is the third one I’ve had over the years, when there isn’t a Jacuzzi nearby. I highly recommend if you’re stressed, it sure helps!

EDIT: I'm downgrading this to four stars as a suction cup has torn free of the bubble mat despite following the instructions for safely removing the mat to the best of my ability. They say to slide a fingernail under each suction cup and release them that way. This does not account for those of us who keep our fingernails very short. (Long fingernails are a hazard in my profession.) I believe this could have been prevented by a simple design change: include a tab on one side of each suction cup that can be pulled to release the suction.

Before the pandemic, I was accustomed to using the hot tub after exercising at the local YMCA. They're fully back open now, but I have chosen not to return just yet.

This isn't as good as a soaking tub with whirlpool jets. If you own your own home and have several thousand dollars to spare, by all means, remodel your bathroom and put one of those in. Or install a hot tub; your choice.

But for those of use not in a position to do either of those, this might just be the next best thing. I did find that it doesn't work as well on legs as it does on back, but it works very well on back. It's also pretty much useless for sore feet.

Some caveats: It cools the temperature of your bath very quickly. The bubbles can also lead to water sloshing over the side. My habit is lie down first, start the bubbles when the bath is only about half full, and turn water off with a foot once it's full. And then, after about ten minutes or when the water starts to cool, sit up and add more hot water to the tub.

Lying directly against the mat will make it not work effectively; the bubbles need a little bit of space to form in the water so they can hit your body. Bath pillows can be used to help position to prevent this. (Note to manufacturer: If the plastic disks extended past the top of the mat, and maybe had some cushioning to them for comfort, this problem could be corrected.)

The only other drawback is that my tub isn't big enough for me, but that's a problem with the tub, not this product. The mat fits in it just fine.

Overall it does what it says it will do.. the remote ( for this one) does not work even when a new cell was used and the suction cups will not adhere to my tub ( and yes, I cleaned the tub before and after trying this unit. I'm just disappointed in what I have versus what I thought it would deliver...

I'm revising my review after fully testing, 1. On a slip proof bathtub the suckers won't slip. I remedy that by making sure the bottom of tub was clean and dry and the suction cups, then I used square cut double tape, put one side on bottom of the tub rubbed it with something to secure it, then put suction cup on top side, rubbed that in & it stayed in place.
2. I'm returning the product bcuz it's too loud for me, the motor and the bubbles, there's no way I could relax and meditate or even hear myself think. I was also under the impression that the blue squares were water massage points but no, the water bubbles on the side and is useless for fibromyalgia, herniated discs and curved spine pain, I tried sitting the motor outside the bathroom door, the noise from the motor was gone but I couldn't use the remote because it was out of range.
For a normal person this could be satisfying but for people like me looking for relief because doctors refuse to treat my pain, not so much.
I'm disabled and don't drive so now when I return I'll have to pay for UPS to pick it up, so at this point I'll be shopping Walmart 3rd party vendors they still live up to true meaning of Free returns, nothing against this seller but against Amazon.
I'm in pain and over all the BS
