Features and Benefits

Views
The range of contemporary brands includes a variety of bath products. Let's consider the most popular options.
On suction cups
Such models are equipped with suction cups to securely hold the pillow on the surface. The accessory is quickly and conveniently fixed in the desired place and does not move during water procedures. Moreover, there is a string on each suction cup, with the help of which the product is detached without damage.
Inflatable
These pillows are inflated like a swimming ring. It should be borne in mind that the product cannot be inflated to the end, the pillow should not be too elastic.
It is recommended to inflate it by 80-85 percent, otherwise the neck will be stiff and uncomfortable.
Bagel
These pillows are similar to those used on long commutes.They are not attached to the bathtub, but simply worn around the neck.
Original
Usually these are inflatable cushions equipped with suction cups. The most popular forms of such accessories are "shell", "pillow-lips" and others.
Multifunctional
A massager or a player (or all at once) can be built into such products. The cost of such models is much higher.
Baby
These accessories are suitable for children of all ages, starting from infancy. One unsuccessful bathing can discourage a child from taking water procedures for a long time. Therefore, in order to create comfortable conditions for the baby, parents often use special devices.
Baby bathing pillows are made of special materials, come with removable, water-repellent pillowcases that are easy to clean and dry quickly. The main purpose of the pillow is to support the baby's head.
Manufacturers offer two options: a collar pillow and a full body product.
The first model is more affordable. A cotton pillowcase with a zipper is put on a polystyrene foam base. The material is pleasant to the touch, does not cause allergies and unpleasant tactile sensations. However, there are also disadvantages. The collar does not hold the child well in the water, and a very active and agile baby can even "slide" off the pillow. Also, the product itself dries for a long time due to the foam used. It cannot be called durable either.
The body pillow has a completely different principle of use. With the help of suction cups, it is attached to the bottom of the bath. Then the child is laid on it. Thanks to the shape of the product, the baby's head remains above the water. Accessories are made of polypropylene filled with synthetic fibers that resemble cotton. From above, the models are covered with natural materials. Among the disadvantages are the high cost and the possibility of displacement of the baby's body in the conditions of moving water.
Use and care
There are several rules, adhering to which, you can extend the life of the water accessory.
- Before use, the product must be ventilated in a room protected from sunlight. It should also be washed with soap and running water.
- The pillows should only be used for their intended purpose. You should not take them on vacation to warm regions and leave them in the sun.
- After water procedures, the pillow is washed and dried thoroughly. This will help prevent mold from growing on it.
