Treat Your Partner with a Romantic Bath

They say romance is dead. We say romance is only dead if you kill it: so why not try and keep your love life alive by adding a small gesture in the bathroom area…a romantic bath.

Nobody wants to be seduced while surrounded by limescale covered taps, dirty marks around the bath or last weeks pants lying on the floor. To create the perfect romantic setting it is crucial that the bathroom is not only free of grime but also free of clutter, in the words of Jerry Seinfeld: “Tub is love”, meaning, if you’re cleaning the bath before your other half is coming round, you must be in love with them.

Not too hot and not too cold is the key ingredient. Nothing could be more of a mood killer then getting in a bath which makes you sweaty and uncomfortable or a freezing cold bath which gives you pneumonia. Make sure you don’t run the water too early and risk it getting cold: you don’t want to be standing in awkward silence desperately trying to get the water to optimum temperature.

So far we’ve covered the basics: clean, check, bath run, check. Now it’s time to add the romance. If you have an understanding of what aromas that tantalise your other half’s senses then add a concoction of bath salts and oils to suit there needs, by this we mean lavender and plant oils to relax; if the only aroma you know your partner enjoys is the smell of sizzling bacon please don’t feel the need to add it to your romance potion, think therapeutic. Also, add bubbles, bath beads, even the age old formula of rose petals to make your bath a visual delight.

It is not just the inside of the bath which needs decorating, try adding scented candles around the bath and switch off the lights for a truly romantic vibe. You could also add a bath pillow inside the bath to make it more comfortable, you can get a bath pillow for under £5 from a decent retailer: a small price to pay for such a nice gesture.

Sound good so far? Why not try adding a bit of music? Of course, the sounds of Motorhead is not an appropriate choice when sinking into a deep warm bath, but a bit of easy listening can go a long way, and you will have your partner in heaven until their fingers turn to prunes.

End on a high. Don’t leave your partner wondering aimlessly around the house naked trying to find a clean towel; make sure there are towels and a bathrobe waiting for them afterwards.

We hope you’ve enjoyed our brief guide: there is much more you can do to personalise your partners romantic experience, add alcohol, massage etc, just customise it to their tastes and put some thought into it and let romance blossom!
