Jen & Harper Try it Out: A Float Spa Horror Story

A few weeks ago Jen and Harper kicked off a sub-series called “Jen and Harper Try it Out.” In our Try it Out Series, we give things a try that you might see ads for on social media that look really interesting but you aren’t sure whether they will be worth it or not. It might be a new kind of medspa treatment, or self-care, or unique therapy or experience.

Harper recently saw a BOGO ad for a Float Spa on Facebook and clicked "buy now!" so she and Jen could do another one of these Jen & Harper Try it Out episodes.

If you’ve never seen one of these, a Float Spa is a place that has private baths that are filled with thousands of pounds of Epsom salt, which is known for its detoxifying properties. It’s supposed to be warm, relaxing, soothing, detoxifying, and helps with sleep, muscle soreness, and a whole litany of other issues. All of the pictures and descriptors make it sound absolutely amazing, and we thought we were going to love it.

We would love to tell you it met and exceeded our expectations, but alas, this is a bit of a cautionary tale. I’m sure there are many of you out there that have done float spas and have loved it though, so we would love to hear your stories and what you loved about it - did we do something differently, or did you go someplace that offered a different environment than the one you will hear us describe?

Or did you try it and have a rough time too? Either way, we want to hear your story! Email us at [e-mail]
