apparently bubble bath contains dye which gives them their lovely colours when concentrated in their bottles but once they are poured into the bath and diluted, there is too little of the dye on the surface of the bubble to show off the colour.
so sadly <sigh> all bubble baths consist of white froth.
mind you when a child blows bubbles, they have the most glorious colours as they reflect the lights in the room, so what our bubbles need is lots of lights.
so I propose a bath completely lined with a transparent material under which are lights of every hue. these lights will constantly change colour as you bathe; lighting your bath from below and shining on ones bubbles. I said bubbles…-- po, Jan 27 2004 Bathroom Express http://www.bathroom...catalog/020807.htmlScroll down to see the bath options, including Chromatherapy [hazel, Oct 05 2004] Chromatherapy http://www.bathroom...k/chromatherapy.htmWhat the different colours mean [hazel, Oct 05 2004] Awsome! This is so cool. I love blowing bubbles.-- demidoo, Jan 27 2004 My daughter has this rubber ball that lights up and blinks when given an impact. I tested it in the kitchen sink to make sure she wouldn't get a shock, waited for her next bubble bath, flipped off the lights and tossed the ball into the tub. She hasn't wanted a bath without it since. I can picture just what this would look like, and it is kew-el. (+)-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Jan 27 2004 A film of petrol would further enhance one's bubbles.-- FarmerJohn, Jan 27 2004 [po] Show us your bubbles?
With the lights off, a bottle of the bubbly and your multi-hued bubbles this would make for a lovely evening...if it could be shared. ;)-- Klaatu, Jan 27 2004 o0oOo0oOO0oo0o + 0o0ooOo0OO0oo0oo-- k_sra, Jan 27 2004 Alright! Who farted in the tub?-- Klaatu, Jan 27 2004 Don't look at me, Prince Charming!-- k_sra, Jan 27 2004 <ribbitt> Someone's got a big mouf.-- Klaatu, Jan 27 2004 <looks away and whistles>-- k_sra, Jan 27 2004 I like! +-- nomadic_wonderer, Jan 27 2004 Bubble baths are meant to be relaxing!!!... mixing it with a disco is ruins the point!!!... and you never mentioned how you would get bubbles like those that come out of a kids mouth?... wouldn't they be too delicate to survive for more than a few seconds!!!... and if you just used normal bubbles.. they would all be opaque?!... so wouldn't you just still have white froth? --- Ossalisc, Jan 27 2004 Where is lovely lass yon? On unguent scented heaven. All reasons everyone abhors bathing are thus hastily won in the healing mists ever. Problem over?-- Klaatu, Jan 27 2004 in your dreams, Klaatu!-- po, Jan 27 2004 Curiously enough [po] I saw something like this on a website recently. We're redoing the bathroom so are very much engrossed with baths and the like. Bathroom Express (see linky) has an option called Chromatherapy where you can have lights in the bath and you can choose different colours for different "healing properties". If they didn't come out with all that healing guff I'd consider it, but only if we won the lottery. I know different colours affect mood but healing ulcers with green is pushing it a bit as far as I'm concerned.-- hazel, Jan 27 2004 I prefer the orange! "Orange promotes pleasure, enthusiasm, and sexual stimulation. [snip] and may be useful in easing digestive system discomforts (e.g., flatulence, cramps)."
I can see where those two things would dovetail nicely.-- Klaatu, Jan 27 2004 FJ, Klaatu!
Your flies are open...-- Tiger Lily, Jan 27 2004 //Chromatherapy// In the link they warn you about using the lights only if the tub is full. Apparently the system still uses incandescent bulbs. Since most modern tubs are made of acrylic the lights could be replaced with LEDs and cast right into the acrylic. LEDs run on a safe voltage and don't get that hot. Also the tub will be standard size or can be supplied as a liner for retrofit.
The video model acts as a monitor, take a bath with your favorite stars swirling around you.-- kbecker, Jan 27 2004 oh the lights <blink>-- The Kat, Jan 28 2004 <shakes biscuit box>
get inside, it's snowing!
you are one stupid Kat!-- po, Jan 28 2004 Mmmmmmmm! <correct pronunciation>Gubbles!</cp>-- gnomethang, Jan 28 2004 gubbles - mmm, eh?-- po, Jan 28 2004 In my recent list, this came up as 'Psychadelic Kaleidoscopic Rainbow Enhanced Bubble Bath Urinal Splash Protection.' Which gave me a giggle. Sounds like something you might find in a bar in San Francisco, but definitely not anywhere in Texas. I predict a swift rise to the top ideas of the month club.-- RayfordSteele, Jan 28 2004 Very nice. Demure pastels would be pretty, too.-- spacecadet, Jan 28 2004 I correctly guessed the author of this idea, just from the title.
Could you have bright LEDs in transparent floating spheres? It would be similar to [2 fries'] kid's toy lighted ball, but illuminated continuously with the changing hues, and have inductive charging of the batteries. For people who don't want to modify the bathtub.-- Amos Kito, Jan 28 2004 Where did that nice [Amos] go?-- The Kat, Jan 20 2006 all our + votes went phfooof (blissmiss spells it better) in the famous crash last year but we don't care because the halfbakery survived...
and allows me to say - welcome to the hb, 21 ( I think you will fit in quite nicely)-- po, Jan 20 2006 I'm one of those weirdos who likes to be in the tub as it fills up, super hot water running over my feet.
A sealed LED light chain travelling from the spout to the drain would make for a pretty fill up, and would look way better then a regular bath chain.-- Giblet, Jan 21 2006 random, halfbakery
