Use this Utuwa tub, designed by Spiritual Mode to soak from head to toe or just to soak the feet.

ZAAFDesign has designed this Brezza Bathtub and constructed it out of Corian for Wisdom Sanitary Ware Co., Ltd.. The problem is that of form and function.

Italian design company BluBleu designed this reclining tub.

Those who take their hygiene to scientific levels might prefer the Beignet tub by Japan-based Spiritual Mode.
