Babyliss Bath Spa

BATHROOM LUXURY OR JUST ANOTHER FORGETTABLE GADGET? I tend to shower more than I bath, mainly because showering is quicker. I know that once I get into a nice hot bath I tend to daydream and stay in for far too long. But there are times when you just can’t beat a nice, relaxing bath, especially if you’re not feeling great or have aches and pains, or if you’re simply too tired to want to stand in the shower. It’s especially nice to have a nice soak in the winter when you can leave a soft, fluffy towel to warm on the radiator, just in reach for when you are finished and have to step out. When, a ... more

Water is a great cure-all. Whether you take it internally, or just choose to wash in it, it will do you untold good! Why else do you think small boys go to such lengths to avoid it?

I was given one of these for Christmas after months of pestering and I really don't know what I was so excited about! The bath spa attaches by suction pads to the side of the bath.

Run your bath as normal and then switch it on by pressing the big button on the top of the spa. The unit has adjustable, dual nozzles to direct the flow of ... more

I bought the Babylis Bath Spa for myself as a present. It was coming up to Christmas time and I had just given birth to my daughter. I gave birth in under 3 hours with no pain relief and no noise (so my husband says - I wasn't aware of what was going on!) and so I felt I deserved a bit of pampering. We couldn't really afford it, what with a new born baby an all, but I thought "well why not", it is not everyday you give birth to a beautiful bundle of joy. I remember excitedly lugging the heavy package back to the car, with my daughter sleeping soundly in a sling in front of me. When I got it ... more

Right Babyliss bath spa....where shall I begin? With the cost I think. Really expensive even when you buy them in Argos or Index. The prices start from £44.50 for the basic model through to the cordless model for £66. I have the one in the middle identical to the cordless but with a cord! It cost me £55 from the Littlewoods catalogue. The unit The unit is a fairly bulky contraption that hangs over the side of your bath tub. You fill your bath with warm water up to the mark on the unit,plug the long lead into the power transformer supplied and plug into the nearest mains socket. (a very long ... more
