The Night My Bubble Bath Saved Me

The Night My Bubble Bath Saved Me

— A True Story from TOA Waters Founder, Javier Folgar

This isn’t a story I made up for marketing—it’s something that actually happened to me.

Just last night, I went to grab a quick late-night snack before bed. I pulled out one of our bar stools, went to sit down, and—bam. A bolt of pain shot through my lower back like lightning. I must’ve twisted wrong or hit the seat at a weird angle, but it immediately became one of the worst back spasms I’ve ever had.

Now, I’ve dealt with back issues my whole life, but this was next-level. I couldn’t bend. I could barely move. I cycled through every trick in the book—ibuprofen, ice, stretches—but nothing gave me relief. That’s when I remembered: a warm bubble bath.

So I drew a bath and poured in one of my own TOA Waters blends. As the bubbles rose and the warm water surrounded me, my muscles started to ease up. The pain softened. For the first time in hours, I could breathe and relax. That bath didn’t just soothe my body—it reminded me why I started TOA Waters in the first place.

This brand was never just about great scents. It was always about healing, about creating space to unwind, recharge, and take care of ourselves—no matter who we are.

So yes, bubble baths can be luxurious. But sometimes, they can be downright life-saving.

Have you ever had a bath work magic like that for you? If so, comment below—I’d love to hear your story.

P.S. That photo at the top—the one with the guy’s feet in a bubble-filled tub? Yeah, not mine. My real bath moment wasn’t nearly that photogenic… but it was magical.
