InomataPearl Foot Detox Massage Spa Bucket, White

Great purchase.Perfect for foot soaks.Water fills up to mid calf.

Wow, this thing fits my size men's 12.5 feet!The handle is sturdy and doesn't buckle under the weight of the water when carrying. Good quality.It's not like I needed any directions, but everything was in Japanese... which was kind of cool actually. Interesting.When you use this, use water as hot as you can stand and put 1 cup of epsom salt in the water. Epsom salt (a naturally occurring pure mineral compound called magnesium sulfate) is a salt containing magnesium, sulfur and oxygen. Soak for 30 minutes. The epsom salt will pull out toxins in your feet (salt absorbs toxins and kills fungus, bacteria, and parasites), relax your muscles, absorbs into the skin giving your muscles sulfur and magnesium, reduces inflammation and swelling, and will even pull out spider/ant/mosquito/bug bite venom in your skin.Epsom salt is amazing and inexpensive. Magnesium plays a number of roles in the body including regulating the activity of over 325 enzymes, reducing inflammation, helping muscle and nerve function and helping to prevent artery hardening. Sulfates help improve the absorption of nutrients, flush toxins and help ease migraine headaches. One time I worked all day clearing brush in the backyard, took an epsom salt bath afterwards. To my horror there were dead ticks in the water because the epsom salt killed them. Also, my mosquito bites were just gone. I couldn't even find them. It works! And just by soaking your feet can even make your back feel better because of the magnesium and sulfur (magnesium deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in countries that eat processed food).The only problem (as a big man) I have with the bucket is my legs have to stay really close together and it can be uncomfortable. If you relax your legs, they press on the sides of the bucket at the top. I put hand towels on the top on the sides and it helped. Now I understand why some men reviewers said they just soak one foot at a time.Just thought I would share.

The Japanese come up with the weirdest stuff. This simple, pearl foot bath not only soaks your feet but your ankles too! So, if you have hurt your ankles (like I did) this bath will help you heal them. So long as you are willing to accept no bells or whistles. Which I was. Still, I should mention three things about this bath:1.) There are NO mechanical parts.No bubbles. No rollers. No cord. Nothing. It is simply a odd-shaped tub for soaking your feet. Nothing more. Nothing less. And while this could be a problem for some people, it wasn't for me.2.) Everything is in Japanese.Or at least I think it is Japanese. I can't really read it so I don't really know. However it is cute - Kinda useless but cute. I wish that the seller had included a simple translation of what is said on the product or some tips of use. Nothing really fancy was required, but it would have been nice to understand whatever was said. Of course, I understand that it is a No frills foot bath so there wouldn't be anything earth-shattering on it, but it could have been useful. I understand that the seller is provably just an importer but that extra touch would have been nice.3.) Finally, It is a tad uncomfortable.Perhaps this was made for the average Japanese person because it is a tad awkward to put both legs in at the same time. They are a little too big for thing! Luckily, I have found that if you rotate it with the words "foot bath" towards you it works a bit better. Still, I would could have been better designed. Not that it stops me from using it though.While it is not perfect, for 30 dollars it is a good price for a simple product. Would have liked it to be a bit bigger & have directions in English but it is not that bad. Despite those two issues, I end up using it a lot more than the mechanical one I bought years ago. After all, all I need is warm water, epson salts & a place to soak my ankles in. Which this bath provides. It just could be better.

Ill be honest, I bought this because it was the only one like it that I could find. I had previously used storage tubs, and the type, but i am very glad I purchased this. It is deep, the handle is strong and easy to carry without spilling and very high quality, I doubt the handle will break.I soak for 30 minunites and it stays hot the entire time. I put 1 cup epsom salt in.If you are soaking with epsom salt, you need to soak for at least 12 minutes for any transdermal absorbption of the mangesium sulfate to take place. In case you don't know, magnesium chloride (the magnesium flakes, which are much more expensive), once mixed into water both the magnesium chloride and the magnesium sulfate break from their bond, so you end up with Mag either way, so if you are trying to soak, there really is no reason at all to soak in the more expensive magnesium chloride vs the magnesium sulfate.If you want to add essential oils to your food soak, oils do not mix with water so they will not be diluted, which can be harsh on the skin, they will also sit on top of the water. The best way to avoid this is to drop essential oil drops in the salt, or the baking soda first, which will help disperse the oils throughout the water, they will still not mix as oil is still not soluble in water, but they will be more dispersed.I went through so many of the more expensive massage type foot baths and they all ended up being crap, I am so glad I purchased this.
