Can bodywash be used as bubble bath?

[razz]

Probably sounds like a silly question but I wonder if bubble bath and body wash gel are interchangeable or is one stronger than the other. The ingredients seem similar.
Anyone tried substituting?

I can't see why you wouldn't be able to use it as a bubble bath since you use it on your whole body anyway. I would just be careful if it is heavily perfumed if you are sensitive, even if you are not it could irritate the skin since you would be using more.... :)

I would guess they are formulated differently and that bubble bath is made to make, well, more bubbles. But I wouldn't think it would hurt you.

Take a peek on Pinterest for ideas! You don't have to have an account, can just look. These kinds of tips and ideas abound over there.

Let us know what you decide . . .

I've used it for bubble bath for the kids...and just what Kelli said..it works, just not as well as actual bubble bath, it makes less bubbles.

I would be careful about using anything as bubble bath. Bubble baths can be very irritating to the urinary tract. Ask me how I know. :(

I agree.
As much as a bubble bath sounds great - its not something I do. The chemicals in water and soaps are too much for me.
I can swim all day at the lake and be fine, a 5 minute bath leaves me with hives and worse.

I have Aveeno Baby body wash/shampoo here for when my grandkids come to visit. About a year ago I thought to try it as a bubble bath for myself. It works wonderfully. Just a capful and I have luxurious bubbles with absolutely no irritation ever, since it's formulated for a baby's skin. I will keep buying this stuff forever. A bottle goes a long, long way, and it leaves my skin so soft. They have it in most stores in the baby/child care section. I buy it at Target here.

If it bubbles, then bubble-bath it is! :)

Some of my famous inventions (household finds) came by way as a chance... an idea I had... a shot in the dark if you will, where I tried something and it worked. The old saying, "you never know until you try", melds wonderfully into this thread.
