TONGRENTANG Foldable Foot Soak Tub

The problem with a foot bath is not using one, it is storing it. A rigid basin takes up a cupboard shelf permanently for something you use a few times a week. A collapsible tub solves that: it folds flat after use and slides behind a door or under a bed.

This one is deep enough to cover the ankles, which matters more than the footprint. A shallow foot soak basin leaves the ankle out of the water and the whole thing feels half-finished. The walls hold their shape when filled and collapse down when empty.

There is nothing electronic in it, which is the other half of the appeal. No heater, no cord, no motor to fail. You fill it from the tap at whatever temperature suits you, soak, empty it and fold it away. As a foot spa tub it is the simple version, and it travels well for the same reason.

1.     Unfold the tub and press the walls out until it holds its shape.

2.     Place it on a flat, stable, non-slip surface. A towel underneath will catch splashes.

3.     Fill with water at a comfortable temperature. Test the water with your hand before putting your feet in.

4.     Soak for as long as is comfortable, typically 10 to 20 minutes.

5.     Empty the tub, wipe it out and let it air dry completely before folding.

6.     Fold flat and store somewhere dry.
