Like the next person, I love a good bath bomb, but unfortunately, I currently live in an apartment sans bathtub. Despite this setback, I don’t believe that people with bathtubs should have all the fun. While it’s not quite a good soak, you can still enjoy the enriching aroma that’s normally associated with a bath bomb while taking a shower. All you need is a shower steamer, otherwise known as a shower bomb.
What is a shower steamer and how do you use one?
A shower steamer is like a bath bomb, but for your shower. When dropped on your shower floor, it’ll begin to fizz and dissolve as it comes into contact with hot water, thus activating the essential oils inside.
You can then breathe in its scent to alleviate a blocked nose, or even just enjoy a calming, aromatherapy experience.
The best part is that it’ll often leave your bathroom smelling utterly delicious when you walk out, leaving a delightful experience for anyone waiting to use the loo.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite shower bombs and steamers in Australia for you to try.
