AYES Upgraded Portable Soaking Bathtub for Adults - Foldable Ice Bath Tub for Cold Water Therapy Training, Collapsible Outdoor Cold Plunge for Recovery - Freestanding Bathtubs for Shower Spa Sauna

This should have been great, but I fell asleep while I was filling it in my wet room, a loud crash woke me up, I thought I had burglars, went to go to look, and realised I was walking in water, this tub floodes all my downstairs hall living room and wet room, needless to say, it took me hours to mop the water up and the tub ended up i8n the bin, now I wish I had saved it to plant taties in. Other than that, the tub would have been great.

I have been trying out this plunge pool after running club to restore aching muscles and it works well. The best part is that it’s collapsible and stores flat and hardly takes any room, while it doesn’t need any inflating so is ready to fill straight away when you need it. The pool has sturdy reinforced panels which distribute the weight of the water evenly and it becomes more stable as it is filled. I also found it easy to empty with 2 drain holes and a hose that you can use to fill up a watering can or direct the water. It comes with a flimsy cover and some liners which I think are impractical. It also has a storage bag and a water inflatable cushion which I found impossible to fill properly. All in all it works well for a ice bath but bearing in mind how long it takes to fill and the amount of ice you need I will only use it occasionally.

I use this portable tub for cold water recovery in my garden. Setting it up takes no time because I just unfold the sides and start filling. The walls feel firm and stay upright even when the water reaches the top. I find the size perfect for sitting comfortably, and it fits well on my small patio. Draining the water is quick thanks to the two different outlets. When I finish, it folds down flat enough to slide behind my shed. The material keeps the water chilled for a long time. It is a practical choice for home therapy.

So I only have a walk in shower and although it gets the job done, sometimes I want to soak in a bath, especially during the winter. I got this in the hopes I could set it up in the shower and fill it with the shower head and have a nice hot soak with some bubble bath. It worked just the way I wanted it to! Super easy to set up, filled surprisingly quickly and retained heat for a good while. It was a little fiddly and awkward to empty but I soon got the hang of it! I actually like that its portable and compact as I prefer being able to sit up in the bath anyway. The design is fab too and creates a relaxing atmosphere, especially when the lights are off and I can really zone out. Its great and I love that its foldable and can be tucked away somewhere, saving space.

I ordered this portable soaking tub mainly for cold therapy and have been using it regularly for just over a month. It has proven to be a practical option for home use, particularly where space is limited. One of the main advantages is that there is no assembly required. The tub simply unfolds and is ready to use, which makes the setup very quick and straightforward. When not in use, it folds down easily, making it convenient to store in a cupboard or corner of a small bathroom or flat. The structure feels solid and sturdy once opened. The size is suitable for an adult to sit comfortably inside, and the walls hold their shape well when filled with water. I have used it multiple times for cold therapy sessions and it has remained stable during use. The dual drainage design is particularly practical. Having more than one drainage option makes emptying the tub easier depending on where it is placed. Cleaning is also simple as the interior surfaces wipe down easily after use. After more than a month of regular use, I have not experienced any leaking, and the material still feels durable. Overall, this is a practical solution for anyone looking for a compact soaking tub for cold therapy or general soaking, especially in smaller living spaces. Overall value for money. Thanks for your time in reading my review - I hope you found it helpful.

I was intrigued by this tub as I am partial to a cold water plunge and this was a lot cheaper than buying a barrel. A lot easier to clean too! The tub is quite generous in size, whilst I am not particularly tall I am rather round and I fit very comfortably inside the tub and can sit down crossed legged with room to spare. The sides are padded so if positioned against a wall it would be quite comfortable to sit back and relax if you were using it as a soaking tub. It is built of light weight quality materials and folds down small when not in use. I particularly like that it has a storage bag for when you need to tidy it away. Overall I like the tub. There was only one real niggle, the drainage hole plugs were really hard to put the stoppers in. I nearly gave up on the bottom one the fit was so tight. Also I thought I had positioned the side one perfectly but it seeped and dripped until I managed to reseat it. I suspect these stopper holes may stretch a little with time so I don't think its a massive problem, but something to be aware of, you may need a strong pair of hands or the help of someone who has. Finally I have to mention the sachet of 'lavender' included in the parcel. I assume this was for use in the tub, I was none the wiser even after using a translate app, but it smelt nothing like lavender so I decided to open it. It looked nothing like lavender either. I am seriously dubious about any unspecified seeds coming from other countries and I certainly wouldn't want to soak in a tub with them. I put them on the fire, and I would recommend anyone buying this product also consider responsible disposal of that sachet, just in case.
