Default Radox equivalent in the US?

I don't know if I'm missing something obvious here but has anybody found a Radox bubble bath type equivalent in the US?

Every time I go to a grocery store I have a look and I can't see bath stuff anywhere! Just a million and one different shower gels...

My grocery store stocks bubble bath near the shower gel, the one I have is called Bodycology. I also have a big bag of lavender Epsom Salts for when I want to soak away aches and pains.

Try Smallflower.com for a lot of European brands, Merz Apothecary shops if you pass through Chicago.

It's very hard to find bubble bath in the U.S. in 'normal' supermarkets and pharmacies.

Do you have a bath and body works nearby, or even a Body Shop?

Does the various brands Wal-Mart sells not considered bubble bath or a normal store?

Bubble Bath : Body Cleansers - Walmart.com

Every general retailer I've ever been to in the US has various brands of bubble bath.

I must be looking in the wrong place as I've never seen any of those in Wal-Mart! I'll have a closer look next time...

You should be able to get some Johnson&Johnson child bubblebath at least, in the baby section.

Walmart is not a normal store it's some kind of weird test. What for I don't know but I'm not that invested in finding out.
Also Walmart is evil and gets enough of my money through government subsidies without me actively spending there

Haha, got there before me. Tried to avoid Walmart wherever possible.

I know this because of one time my OH was visiting from the UK and we were looking to make the most of a multi-occupancy bath in Vegas and visited virtually every pharmacy and every personal care aisle of stores in the locality of our hotel and found no trace of bubble bath anywhere. After that I took to keeping an eye out for it, and never saw it anywhere local to me in Virginia either.

I suppose if most US houses have baths like I did in my rental house, ie more like an overgrown shower tray, then people are not used to having a lovely hot bubble bath and demand isn't that high. Its not much fun having a bath when you can't lie back and get both your elbows and your knees underwater at the same time.

I have it on good authority that it's quite easy to obtain bath salts if you head for the more skanky areas in your community.

If you stay at a poshish hotel and wish you use the ahem 'multi occupancy' bath then ask reception for the entertainment/comfort pack it contains fizzy stuff for baths and ahem nodders

Word of advice, if you are availing yourself of said bath facilities just remember farting in the bath maybe hilarious to you...............
