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 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.

I love my apartment, except for the fact that it has no tub. It’s the only hesitation I had about the place, because I knew how much I missed a good soak when previous places didn’t have one. After six years I found myself thinking about buying an inflatable kiddie pool for the job. Then it occurred to me: surely someone has solved this problem by now? There are millions of people in the world who have small apartments and you can buy anything on the internet! I was hopeful and a little skeptical when I ordered this tub, but it really delivered. It’s easy to put together. After the first time, it takes me 10 minutes, including inflating the ring. The tub fits inside my shower, so it’s easy to drain using the side drain, it takes 15-20 minutes if I fill it all the way—that’s about 2/3 before I get in. My shower drain runs a little slow, so ymmv. I rinse the tub using the handheld shower and tip it over to dry out. My shower stall has a 3” lip, so I can prop an edge on that and get good air circulation for it to dry. Once it’s dry, it’s easy to remove the poles, fold it up and put it back in the bag. I bought the small size. I’m 5’2” and find it very comfortable to sit in. I am submerged almost up to my shoulders if I fill it all the way. I can’t totally stretch my legs out, but I can sit cross legged or with my knees comfortably bent in front of me. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

The tub is good size and build quality is excellent. The 2 drain, one in the center and one on the low side is great. However the side drain sits about 2 inches from the bottom of the tub. As a result you're stuck with a good amount of water that will not drain unless you lift one end of the tub to make it drain. It takes good 5 minutes of holding up one end to drain the rest of the water which was very inconvenient. They need to position the side drain much lower in the future design.

My mother felt reluctant about ordering a bath like this. BUT I ordered it as a surprise for her. Now she uses it every weekend in the winter months. The bottom feels padded, it’s super easy to set up. I don’t install the hose though to drain. The bath feels (in my opinion) stable and even I (with 1.77 height) can sit in it. When fully filled it still reaches my shoulders. The bath remains warm. To store: dry it, roll it up and shove into the bag. Which is a challenge, but it works. The only request I got was to order her a cushion for her neck as well… lol.

I never ever write reviews but I'm one to completely rely on them. This tub is amazing. I bought the large and it fits perfectly in my 3ft by 3ft shower stall. My husband and I fit pretty comfortably in there together and there is so much room individually. We aren't the smallest people either. I love how the water can easily come up to my shoulders. The bottom is perfectly cushioned and not with air that makes you feel wobly. It is a firm, stable feeling cushion. The tub drains quite fast and the center drain is perfect for our center drain shower stall. The material is seems so strong and comfortable, flexible but very sturdy. It is also very nice looking, modern and clean looking. Unlike the other blue tubs. This tub is amazing. I have already sent the link to all of my friends and family to put it on their Christmas list this year and they won't regret it. Also, a plus for me, which I didn't know until after I purchased it, was that this is an American small family business that sells these and I love to support the small businesses when I can! Thank you so much for this tub, I'm so grateful for it. I will say I don't understand the point in the liners. I was excited that they may make it zero clean up but after reading the instructions on how to use them, you have to take out the liner before draining it, which defeats the purpose of the liner. Unless maybe I'm missing something. I was really hoping I would put the liner in and then drain the water and the tub really never get wet which means I wouldn't have to wash it as often. However, it doesn't seem to be hard to clean so I don't mind at all.

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.

I have an apartment with no tub, and sometimes, you just NEED a good hot bath. I considered moving, and while this isn't quite the same as stretching out in a tub, it does do the trick when what you need is a good hot soak. I was quite skeptical but it's a good product when you don't have a tub. Not glamorous, but well-made and practical. I got the smaller one, and I am 5'7"\135lbs. I can sit cross legged in it comfortably. It's very easy to set up and take down. I don't insert the side supports, I just put it inside my stand up shower stall which is the same size as the tub. When I want to empty it I just pull the drain, which I make sure is placed over my shower drain. I read reviews where folks said the blow up ring at the top doesn't hold air- this is a non issue both because it blows up with two breaths, and because in order to fold the tub away, you need to deflate the ring so I'm not sure who would want it to stay inflated for days on end anyway. Regardless, I have not had an issue with this. Perhaps they were not properly sealing the inflation point.

I can move it around use it outside or inside the shower have had it for over a year with no problems

I won’t put a photo or video as there are already loads on here but I absolutely love this bath. I’ve always wanted a Japanese soaking tub but can’t afford one so I thought I’d give this a try as a very cheap alternative. It’s so comfy. I can soak in it with the water up to my neck. You have to sit upright, semi crossed legged but that’s fine for me and is way more comfortable than being stretched out in a normal bath. It’s really easy to assemble and feels well made. Takes a little long than a standard bath to empty but again it’s hardly an issue. So far I am made up with this item and wish I’d got one years ago.

Ive been living 6 years without a bath tub in my apartment and just heard about portable bath tubs at a Christmas party. That night I started searching for the perfect one, reading all the features and reviews to narrow it down but I was looking at the full size ones and kept hesitating considering the issues with filling and draining. Then I found this one! It fits perfect in my shower, its easy to fill and drain and its surprisingly comfortable! I actually dont even take it apart cause I use it so often but its very easy to set up and it comes with a nice lil travel bag. The 1st time I used it I was a bit too egar and didnt set up the drain hose so I had to bucket it out till I could move it and pour the rest out. I also over filled it so now I know the level of water that fits me. Unlike a standard bath tub my body is completely submerged which is so nice. I can now have a detox salt bath, moor mud herbal bath and use Lush bath products at home!!😊 Its been perfect having this in the winter especially now that some of my pipes have been froze and I cant use the shower or laundry but Im still able to have a bath filling buckets from the tap in my kitchen. It takes a while but its worth it!! I highly recommend buying this tub, you wont regret it! I only wish I found it sooner!!

Very nice bathtub. It fits in my small garden

This tub fits well in my shower It is easy to set up and is made from a good grade of material..I fill it about 3/4 full so that when I sit in it the water covers my shoulders…it fill easily from the shower head and has 2 drains..there is padding on the bottom so comfortable to sit in and….relax…going to take it camping with me…. as it compact when taken apart……..very happy with my purchase
