6 shower steamers that even busy moms have time to enjoy

You may have had to scoop sixteen plastic toys out of the way to get in, but if you close your eyes, The Radiant Rhino Tranquility Shower Steamers will convince you that you’ve been transported to a spa. While I’ve tried some that barely give off any scent, these divinely potent bricks are the exact opposite. The mentholated lavender is strong in the best way, opening up your sinuses and helping ease you into sleep mode. And while they are on the pricier side, I can generally get 2-3 showers out of a single steamer.

Handmade in Georgia, Marbella’s star-shaped Shower Fizzes give your shower a refreshing burst of eucalyptus that invigorates the senses. The all-natural ingredients deliver a pleasant dose of aromatherapy without making a mess or staining the tub and they even come in a convenient little jar to keep them fresh.

If you’ve ever stood under a stream of hot water begging it to make you feel human again, the Vicks VapoShower Plus Shower Tablets are for you. The non-medicated tablets blast your bathroom (and sinuses!) with the soothing aromas of menthol and eucalyptus to help clear congestion when you’re under the weather or just need a little extra oomph to start or end the day. And given the fact we’re being hammered with every germ and sickness imaginable these days, do yourself a favor and stash a box away for your next battle. Thousands of five star reviews tout their ability to offer some relief from everything from seasonal allergies to RSV.

Unlike traditional shower steamers, the Lush Sleepy Shower Bomb offers more than just soothing aromatherapy. Pop it under the stream to let it expand, then swipe off the luxurious foam to lather up! Infused with their signature Sleepy scent–a calming blend of lavender and sweet/nutty/vanilla-y tonka bean–it makes the perfect addition to an indulgent nighttime shower. And even though it’s fairly small, you can definitely get a few showers out of it. Just store it out of the shower between uses!

With over 36K ratings, the Cleverfy Shower Steamers are an Amazon favorite that get high marks for everything from the quality of aroma to the totally giftable packaging. Inside the box you’ll find six sizeable Smarties-esque pucks, each infused with a different scent. Of course there are the usual suspects like lavender, eucalyptus and menthol but they also offer some unique fruity options as well. I mean, how can you have a bad day if you begin it enveloped in a watermelon steam?

Speaking of fruity, if that’s your vibe check out the Energize Shower Steamers from Body Restore. The individually-wrapped tablets are packed with citrusy essential oils that make a morning shower the ultimate pick-me-up. Each one can last for up to two showers and they’re so cute you don’t even have to stash them in the closet. Pop them in a glass jar to display on a bathroom shelf!
