Homedics Bubble Mate Foot Spa, Toe Touch Controlled Foot Bath with Invigorating Bubbles and Splash Proof, Raised Massage Nodes and Removable Pumice Stone

My feet and I have been in a heated argument for years, but this foot spa finally brokered a peace treaty. The bubbles are so refreshing that I half-expected a tiny resort waiter to appear with a tropical drink, and the toe-touch control is a stroke of genius because once I sit down, I am legally obligated not to move a single muscle above my ankles.


It’s actually splash-proof, so I’m not accidentally turning my living room rug into a swamp, and the pumice stone is perfect for sanding off the evidence of a long week. If you’re looking for a way to feel like you’ve escaped to a high-end resort without actually having to put on real pants, this is your ticket. Your toes will thank you!

This foot spa is a cozy escape for tired feet without leaving home. The bubble action helps soothe sore muscles, and the raised massage nodes add a nice touch of pressure relief while you soak

This foot spa is cute. It’s not as fancy as I thought it would be though. I love that it makes bubbles and warms up but I didn’t find it that relaxing.

I had purchased an almost $200 foot spa prior to this one with all the bells and whistles and it was the most uncomfortable experience and did not have the vigorous bubble therapy I really wanted. I returned it and purchased this for $10.8. It's extremely comfortable to use while sitting on the couch, no cutting into my calves, even when I relax my legs. It doesn't have any automatic rollers or shiatsu massagers or a remote control (which would be awesome and I'd pay for it). The little nubs are basically useless to me. And it's pretty noisy, but I don't mind the noise. I used to LOVE and enjoy pedicures, but I now have a horrible case of restless leg syndrome (usually at bedtime) and planter faschitis in one foot that makes pedicures more painful than pleasurable. I read that using a home foot spa (among other things) might help. I have been using this in the evenings right before bed, adding magnesium bath salts to it as well as essential oils (for a pleasant olfactory experience). I use the pumice stone plus a callus remover weekly and then slather my feet and calves in magnesium lotion. While not a cure for my issues, it certainly helps me relax before bed and the foot and calf massages with the magnesium lotion aid me in falling asleep faster than if I didn't use them, which is a miracle in itself (you know what I mean if you have RLS). I put a half full 5qt pot of water on the stove until just before boiling to pour into the spa, adding another 1/4 of the pot full of cold water. It holds heat for almost the entire time I use it (about 30 mins). Clean up is easy: dump it out and spray an all purpose cleaner over it and rinse. I let it dry in my tub overnight. The bubble therapy is exceptional, but you can't cover the holes. Make sure to lay down a towel, it's a bit messy. Don't waste your money on something else. This is the best thing I currently have in my arsenal for RLS and foot pain relief (in conjunction with medication).
