Are bath bombs good for down there?

First of all, bath bombs have no benefits, and for many women, they can be extremely irritating to the tissue of the vulva. People call it vaginal, but it's actually vulva, he says. Using a bath bomb or similar bath product can cause problems for women such as irritation, redness, and itching. Originally, our bath bombs were created for those whose skin was too sensitive for bubble baths, but everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for another.

If you use bath bombs and bubble bars on a regular basis and they don't bother you, then you're fine. However, if you use bath bombs, bubble sticks, or anything else in the bathtub that causes any kind of irritation, you should stop doing so immediately and talk to your doctor. Whether you want to decompress before bed or relax your aching muscles, bath bombs can help you get the job done. And it should also be noted that in addition to keeping bath bombs away from the vagina, fragrant cleansers and washes should also be avoided.

So, if you're already prone to irritation, yeast infections, urinary tract infections, or bacterial vaginosis, it may be safer to avoid bath bombs altogether and take a look at what's inside your favorite, says Dr. According to SELF, bath bombs have the potential to disrupt the pH balance of your vagina, thanks to the fragrance-ingredients often labeled, mysteriously, fragrance, which can encompass a wide range of chemicals in the orbs. Datta says that to minimize the risk of infection, try not to use bath bombs too often and, if you do, limit the amount of time you spend in the bathtub, as well as watching how your skin reacts to using these products and, if you notice any irritation, go and consult your doctor as soon as possible. Bath bombs filled with glitter are even worse, as they can cause irritation and even small cuts in the lining of the vulva and vagina that can lead to infections.

This fragrant bath bomb set gets its fabulous fragrance from natural ingredients, such as lavender, aloe, green tea and shea butter, rather than relying on chemical-laden synthetic fragrances to do the trick. That heavily scented, neon bath bomb that looks so good on the “gram” may not be as good for your body. This luxury bath bomb set is not only sustainably sourced and fair trade, but it is also free of chemicals and vaginal irritating dyes that cause the so-called “thrush”. If you have irritation problems, such as chronic yeast infections, it's probably best to skip the bath bomb altogether.

The bubbly action of a bath bomb is a very basic combination of baking soda and citric acid (the same thing that gives sour sweets their lip-wrinkling goodness and ours is made from corn). That video that reveals a multicolored bath bomb that escapes in your bathtub is a super cute Instagram story, yeah.
