Portable Bathtub (Large) by Homefilos, Ice Bath and Cold Plunge for Athletes, Inflatable Adult Size Japanese Soaking Hot Tub for Shower Stall

Due to chronic pain I needed a deeper soaking tub than my regular tub. I’m 5’6” 220lbs and I fit in this perfectly, it’s deep enough to soak me to my shoulders if I lay back the right way. The bottom is cushioned and it’s comfortable to sit down. It is a bit bigger than I thought it would be.I put this in my standard sized bathtub in my apartment and it does fit with minor folding up at the bottom; I just made sure it was folding more on the side area so I wouldn’t be sitting directly on the fold so I wouldn’t cause any damage. It held the water perfectly, and I filled it up pretty high. There was no leaking at all, or any tears that I could see and I looked it over before using it. I used the side valve to drain the water and it worked great. I made sure to set it up so that the valve of the portable tub was facing my bathtub drain to make it easy to empty.It was overall extremely easy to set up, use, drain, and wipe up excess water to fold and put it away. Something I was worried about when I read other reviews was about the beams breaking, but after using it I can’t see how it would break unless you sat directly on it or applied your weight’s worth of pressure to it. Just avoid putting your weight on the beams directly and this will work great.

I bought this tub because I needed to take Epsom Salt baths as part of my medical treatment and didn’t have a bathtub in my apartment. I was concerned about the PVC but couldn’t find a tub that wasn’t made of PVC plastic so I purchased this one.I have now purchased two of them. The first one I didn’t take care of very well and it still lasted over 2 years with heavy use. The second one I took very good care of and it ripped at the seam around the bottom of the tub after a couple of months of use.The large tub is quite large. I’m 5’8, 160lbs and it was roomy for me. It would not fit in a small stand-up shower stall like the ones you find in many apartments in the U.S. My shower is very large and I had just enough space for it. Check the dimensions before you purchase it.The small one works as well, and although it is not quite as comfortable, it’s still pretty good. I believe the small one would fit in a stand-up shower, although it might be a tight squeeze. If you are a tall person, the small tub will probably be tight for you. It fits me perfectly but if it were any smaller, I wouldn’t be comfortable enough to sit in it for the hour that I need.The tub is very easy to use and I think the construction is actually quite smart. Essentially, you put in the legs some slits and then blow up a thin tub that runs around the top of the tub. The air in the tub holds the tub up while you fill it, at which point, the water takes over. The tube on top loses its air relatively quickly, so you have to be careful not to over-fill the tub otherwise, you might have a tsunami on your hands, which has happened to me more than once!I used the first one I bought a lot - every single day for years. The plastic started start to wear out in slips that hold the legs after about 6 months but only a bit and it never impacted my ability to use the tub.The tub did eventually wear out but I believe it had to do with user error. The trick to maintaining it is that you have to open the plug on the bottom of the tub as well as the valve on the side when you’re draining it. That way, all the water drains out and you don’t have to flip the tub on its side to drain it - lifting the tub when there’s water in it damages the plastic. That was my mistake.With the second one, I was very careful to only lift it when it was completely empty but it developed a rip in the seam. I successfully patched it but the glue I had to use was toxic. I called the company and they were fantastic. They offered me a full refund or a replacement. Very happy customer.

This is my second tub. They upgraded the style to have a blow up top. Much more comfortable and less likely to lose its shape. As an avid bath gal, this is a god send. It’s super deep, easy to set up and break down. Dont forget the line the bottom drain with your shower drain. I’ll never forget that mistake!

Usually I don't write reviews, but if your looking for alternative from a gym/spa to quick soak wind-down. This is a great option imo.I'm 6ft. Purchase the Lg size. Just what I was looking for. Portable easy to setup & clean. Submerge to shoulder with decent amount of leg room.Fits in a med/large shower flat surface against the wall for stability, would not recommend for standard size tubes.4 stars bc the top is very flimsy will not support arms rest shown in the ad

I live in an old ranch house that has all showers. I love taking baths and have missed it so much. I have been looking at portable baths since I moved into this house 2.5 years ago and researched reviews and ratings and ultimately kept talking myself out of it, convinced it was a ridiculous thing to buy. I was wrong!! I ended up deciding to "treat yo self" and bought it as a birthday present for myself. IT IS INCREDIBLE! I would actually prefer it over a normal bathtub. I bought the large size, even though I am 5'3", it is HUGE. It fits almost perfectly in my box style shower. The bottom is cushioned which is unexpected luxury and with the top rim being inflated it gives you the perfect built in pillow. It retains the heat better than bathtubs, that could be because my tiled enclosed shower creates a sauna effect, but regardless, I love it. I did have a learning curve with draining it. You have to make sure if you are using the drain at the bottom that it aligns with your shower drain or it will create a suction to the bottom of the shower floor and it is difficult to move with the weight of the water. But by my second use, I aligned it properly and drained perfectly. In short, this tub is well made, inexpensive, enormous in size, holds heat well, comfortable and absolute luxury if you have been living without a bathtub. 10/10 would recommend.
