FIRST IMPRESSIONS

The packaging for the Portable Bathtub by Homefilos was surprisingly unassuming. I half-expected something bulky, but it arrived neatly folded in a compact box. There’s something oddly satisfying about unboxing an inflatable item — it feels like uncovering a secret. As I pulled it out, I couldn’t help but think, “Is this really going to hold my weight?” It looked a tad too lightweight at first. But then again, I’ve learned not to judge a bathtub by its cover, right? The material felt decent, and the vibrant color gave me a little spark of excitement. Even if my expectations were low, I was ready to give it a shot!
