Product Description
We own ALL the bath experiences. Our kids LOVE baths, and we purchase all the bombs, crackles, colors, confetti, and shaped oil beads—everything! And these were a bit of a shock, in a GREAT way. We were SO surprised by how slimy they were, especially on their hair and skin. They really enjoyed it. And in other reviews, people mention having to wash it off the kids, but that isn’t necessary because it’s ALOE that makes the slime, and it’s great for their skin and hair. We just toweled them off, and they dried, hair as well (I even tried it on my hair, and I have a LOT of hair that’s very long), without any residue or indication they were slimy before. Their hair was even clean, soft, and looked normal. They worked great! The color was also a nice shade and didn’t leave any color behind. So simple, just toss them in! HOWEVER!! WARNING! When people say it makes the tub slippery, they mean it. We’re not talking “wet slippery,” but black ice, no grip, DANGEROUS slippery, so be sure to wash it off the tub afterward, as it will stay that slippery for days if you don’t. My middle child stepped into our tub one day, immediately slipped, and fell face-first into the tub, hitting only the edge of a toy basket and deeply bruising his throat and trachea. It was really, really scary because he couldn’t breathe initially, and he ended up so deeply bruised it looked like he had been strangled. Such a freak accident, but preventable if I had taken the time to read that it was slippery and needed to be cleaned. I’m not trying to scare anyone away from them because they’re really so neat, but it’s crucial to ensure you clean up after.
The slime was pretty thick, and I couldn’t dilute it enough to wash the kids, so I had to drain the tub and wash with fresh water. It wasn’t easy to get out of my daughter’s hair. If you go in knowing that it’s going to be a long bath process, then it’s great. Of course, my kids loved it.
Initially, these were a huge hit, but over time, the slipperiness became excessive. Fortunately, they clean up extremely well with just warm water, leaving no stains.
It’s a great product, and my boys loved playing with it in the tub. The ONLY issue is that the next morning I stepped into the shower and almost slipped because the tub floor was still slippery!
These are enjoyable for the kids. I’ve used them several times, and they don’t block your drain! It can get messy at times depending on how active your kids are during bath time, but the enjoyment they get from these outweighs the short amount of time it takes to clean up.
