Let's get down to fizzness because these products are ~da bomb~.
Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by your period? Yeah, same. Luckily some kind soul has created bath bombs like these to help us get through that awful week each month. These bombs are made with essential oils that are specifically aimed to relieve menstrual pain. Hallelujah!

No judgment here. This bomb is packed with algae extract, sea salt, cupuaçu butter, açaí oil, and coconut oil — and it's going to make your skin SO soft. Don't even get me started on the scent, gooooood lawd!
Promising review: "I’m a big fan of Sol de Janerio, and when this showed up I knew I was going to end up picking it up as a treat during the sale. I have very sensitive, eczema-prone skin. You could definitely cut it in half for a longer experience, but I just went for it. It had a wonderful fizz to it, it looks like a little hurricane in your bath! My skin was pretty cruddy still from a long winter, and I took a soak in this and it was like my legs were renewed! I don’t like coconut oil a lot, but it was super nice and not over the top. It does what it says. It is pricey but if you want something special, this is it." —qcityk

My mom isn't a big fan of baths, but she didn't want to give up the soothing spa experience she was able to create in her tub. Enter: shower tablets. All you have to do is drop one of these essential-oil infused tablets into the bottom of the shower and let the water do the work!
Promising review: "Someone gave me one of these tablets for Christmas and it was WONDERFUL. It emits aromatherapy lavender, and just puts a smile on your face. You walk out of your shower all smiles and calm. The tablet goes into the corner of the shower, where the water never hits it directly. It lasts over five showers. I SUPER highly recommend it. I wish I could just walk around the house with one around my neck!" —KP on Whidbey

There are few things as satisfying as dropping an F-bomb—both the actual word and this bath bomb. It is scented with blueberry extract and lavender essential oils, so you'll be calm as fuck after soaking in it for a few moments.

Not all of us have the pleasure of being sorted by the great Sorting Hat (sigh, muggle life), so we'll need to settle on this bath bomb. All you have to do is drop it into your bath and wait to see which color appears to reveal your house!

I've admittedly hit a bit of a bath bomb rut. I have SO many of the same scent that I find myself forever looking to mix things up. This kit will help me (and you!) learn how to make my own bombs using whatever fragrances and ingredients I want. Think bath time, but make it science.

This delightful set comes with 12 individually wrapped bombs, so they would make wonderful stocking stuffers or add-on gifts for your friends. The combination of organic coconut oil and essential oils will create a bath you'll want to soak in foreverrrrrr.
Promising review: "I very rarely write reviews but these deserve it. They're not very big but you aren't missing anything, trust me! Lasting scents (I like REALLY long baths), beautiful, moisturizing, gorgeous non-staining colors. Not wrapped in obnoxious shrink wrap like most. My husband used more of them than I did! We love them so much we burned through a whole box in one month. #sorrynotsorry. For a little over a buck per bomb, I don't even feel bad about it. Can't wait to get more and try all the scents my husband used before I could get to them!" —B and K

There are few desserts as delicate and beautiful as a macaron. Now you can bring the beauty of this tasty treat into your bath tub (if you weren't already snacking on them mid-soak like the queen you are). The macarons are rose-, matcha-, and fig-scented. Classy as ever.

Let the awkward encounters of your day just wash away as you soak in this stress-relief bath bomb. It's scented with eucalyptus and spearmint, excellent for soothing your muscles and your mind.
Promising review: "This is a great bath bomb. The combination of eucalyptus and mint is invigorating. It’s the best after a long difficult day. It makes your skin soft, and the scent lingers a good while. I will repurchase. This is one I’ve given with presents. I’ve gotten positive feedback." —BBW2WILD

You'll feel like actual royalty while soaking in your bath after dropping this bomb. Made with safflower seed oil, meadowfoam seed oil, and jojoba seed oil, this vegan and cruelty-free bath bomb is a must-have for your growing collection.
Promising review: "This is one of the most beautiful bath bombs I've ever seen! I almost didn't want to use it because it looked so pretty! It smells really good and left my skin very soft. Seeing it in the bath made me feel a bit like royalty...or like a fairy with a little sparkling pixie dust in the water. Either way, I loved it!" —Marie11

This Sudzly subscription box is about to become your bath time BFF. I enjoy bath bombs more than the average person, but my passion for at-home spa-like experiences has definitely expanded into other realms (soaps, scrubs, etc). This box is perfect for the person who wants bath bombs on a monthly basis and is open to combining other fun soapy products with them.
Promising review: "I've subscribed to about five different soap boxes and Sudzly, by far, is the best bang for the price. I've never been disappointed, and December's box surely did not disappoint — lovely bath loofah type shower scrubber, heavenly seasonal two big chunks of soap, a good-sized sugar scrub. The soaps are Starry Night & Softly Fallen Snow. And it's all wrapped up in a beautiful box. You just can't beat the value!!!! Sudzly...I love you!!!" —Katherine

Yes, Nick Jonas and I are the same age, but OMG I feel like he and Priyanka JUST met! But I digress. This bath bomb is a must-have for forever uptight people (like myself) who will definitely get a kick out of it and benefit from its relaxing scent.

What do you get when you pulverize a bath bomb? Unicorn dust, obviously. If you're not into waiting for you bomb to fizz and dissolve, you can just cut to the chase with this simple powder.

I actually own this set of bath bombs and gifted two to each of my bridesmaids in their "proposal" boxes. I selfishly kept a few for myself and I must say they are fantastic! The scents in the box include coconut, lavender, ocean, seagrass, green tea, grapefruit, orange, rose, lily, geranium, lemon, and aloe vera, so you're bound to find a fitting fragrance for everyone in your squad.
Promising review: "I bought these thinking they would last a month between my wife and three daughters. I think I was lucky to get two weeks! My girls (ages 4-9) absolutely love these. Each bath bomb is individually wrapped, much nicer than I would have expected for the price. They all have had a wonderful scent and leave the water a soft color that doesn't linger when the tub is emptied. I'll probably end up buying quite a few more of these than I had originally planned just because they've been such a big hit!" —Blixem

Promising review: "Rosé all day lives up to its name! The bomb fizzed for about two minutes or so, and the water stayed a beautiful rose pink for the whole time. It has a floral, clean scent, and it made for a relaxing bath!" —kcshay

A lot of parents struggle to get their kids to agree to take a bath and have started using bath bombs to encourage them to get in the tub with minimal arguments. Which is why fun bath bombs like this one exist! It includes a surprise mermaid necklace inside of it, so when the bomb is done fizzing away your little one gets an exciting new piece of jewelry. (Don't judge if you find me ordering this item for myself.)
Promising review: "Fantastic! My daughter loved it, the color was really beautiful, it smelled great, and she was very excited about her mermaid necklace. A wonderful way to treat my little one without sugar or sweets. I am trying to decide which one to order for her next!" —L. N. Guerra

Let's face it: Lush Cosmetics has set the standards for ALL bath bombs. They have essentially built on empire off of them, no joke. While I've tried MANY Lush bombs, the intergalactic one remains a classic favorite. It takes your standard bath and transforms it into something magical.
Promising review: "I love this bath bomb. It was my first-ever bath bomb and I will never get sick of it. It smells amazing, the colors are great, and the sparkly dark blue water is like magic. The fact that I get out of the tub sparkling just makes my night. Ever since I found out I can use it in a cool tub after work it's become a twice-a-week thing." —Andise
