The only gripe I have about this is that I wish it was BIGGER!! I hate using a whole one =( The scent is so incredibly soothing and it really helps you sleep. For serious insomniacs, (like me) try throwing this bomb in your tub and then add a LUSH "Dreamtime Bath Melt" I only use one half of each instead of just one whole bomb and nothing else...and instead of just being relaxed and "sleepy", I can hardly keep my head up in the tub and keep nodding off! One of the greatest baths ever. I just wouldn't stay in the tub for very long in case you fall asleep ;) I never last that long before I have to get out of the tub and crash.

This along with Big Shampoo, was my first try of Lush's products, I purchased several bath bombs (Big Blue, Sex Bomb, as well as the promo free ButterBall) since they had pretty good reviews... I am a true believer in the Bath as Therapy! So, of course I wanted to check this stuff out, and let me just say.........Honeeee, Those that haven't should!!! Waving not Drowning is NO joke, you are instantly RELAAAAAXXED............

Smells very nice, not overpowering and you can indeed doze off, so be careful ;0) Oh, and the Big Shampoo, is a keeper too!Girls, as I type this review I am enjoying my all over fragrance, literally from Head To Toes! Feelin' Da'Sexy!

This and the rest of the bath bombs in the Lush collection leave your skin silky smooth. Ive used other bath products but these bombs leave my skin the silkiest ive ever felt. Whatever is in those bombs just envelops your body in a shell of silk, thats how it actually feels when you get out of the bath. Ive tried this bomb , the rainbow warrior and butterball. They all smell good and leave you feeling great. My only complaint is it takes a long time to recieve them. 4 stars.

This bomb is pretty nice, it smells of lavender with a little woodsy and herbal kick to it, but it is a small bomb and not as strongly scented/ powerful in its aromatherapy uses as it could be.

There is a new bomb coming out soon (I got to test it as a Lush forum prize!) called Golden Slumbers that the owner of Lush has been testing out and will be in the US soon, which is almost straight lavender and knocks my socks off! It is a large bomb with golden shimmers in it, and the power/strength of scent of this bomb is incredible. Waving Not Drowning was relaxing but didn't make me sleepy, while Golden Slumbers knocked me *out*.

So keep an eye out for Waving Not Drowning's big brother, and in the meantime, try using two if you are an insomniac and need more "kick" than this one provides. Dreamtime melt is also very soothing, and sometimes I cocktail my Lush by using half Dreamtime and half Waving.

Like the first reviewer said, this bath bomb is not HUGE -- but I think that statement needs a little clarification so you other shoppers/readers aren't turned off... As far as I know, there are three (3) sizes of bath bombs that LUSH makes, and I've only seen the hugest ones (I think they're like 28 oz. (HUGE), and they're over $15 each) in their catalogs (or online) -- plus they only come in four "flavors."

So, those mega-bombs are not what you should measure other bombs by. The rest of LUSH's bombs are approx. 6.3 oz. or 3.1 oz. on average (I just checked) -- "waving not drowning" happens to be the smaller of the two. {The larger bath bombs are the ones like "big blue," "youki-hi," "honey bee," "sex bomb" etc... The smaller ones include "butterball" and "fizzy o'therapy," and maybe one other besides this one.}

"Waving not drowning" was actually the first LUSH bath bomb I tried, and its "small"(-ish) size, soothing lavender color, conspicuous absence of weird chunks, flowers, or glitter popping out of it and its nice subtle fragrance were really what drew me to it... I used it without any other bath additives (i.e., other bath bombs, salts, or bubbles), and was totally, wonderfully, surprisingly in love with it. I was really shocked at the notable difference it made in my bath water -- soothing oils and a fragrance that didn't overwhelm my senses (but was definitely stronger than what it was "dry"), relaxed my muscles, left my skin so soft and silky that I didn't even dry off with a towel: I had to let myself air dry so all those yummy skin treats and scents would absorb into my skin and stay with me through the night...and they did!!! I woke up still soft and fragrant, and my boyfriend couldn't stop touching me and telling me how smooth I felt and how great I smelled! :)

This is exactly the bath treat for those times when you don't want actual explosives or confetti and glitter-laden bubbles overflowing from your hot pink, flower-petal-filled tub water... It's just what its name suggests, and I can't recommend it highly enough (especially if you've never tried a LUSH bath bomb). And maybe it's also great mixed with another bath bomb or some bubbles, but so far I've enjoyed it alone, and I highly recommend trying it. Enjoy!!

One of my first bath bombs. From other reviews, I can say I smelled the lavender strongly, but I don't like the scent. Water didn't change any color, and though the scent was strong, it wasn't necessarily overwhelming enough to fill the small bathroom.

overall, i wasn't that impressed. the scent was mild and i didn't get the relaxed feeling that many reviewers have experienced. i found it to be a neutral product. it did provide some relaxation but not the time to crawl in bed right now feeling i was expecting. i tub was a lovely light liliac color and mixed with the i should coco soap, it was a nice bath. nice, not out of the world which unfortunately is what i've come to expect from lush.

I AM A NEW LOVER OF LUSH!!! WOW! What a nice bath product. Worth every penny! Not only did it's fragrance linger in my bathroom but all throughout my bedroom too! It truely stands by what it says, "ingredents that will halp you sleep". Best night of rest ever!!

I finally ! Finally purchase some Lush products after reading so much from other customers. Im a total Bath/Beauty Product Guru and I did not think these fizzy ball were in the least bit great. They Fizz yes. But Pretty much thats it. The smell is awesome when they are in the cheap little sandwich bag they come in but once you plop that baby in the Tub..it disappears and I wasnt impressed at all! Sorry Lush! Thank God I didnt spend an arm/leg on them. It was like soaking in Plain water w/this Bomb. I also got Honey Bee and same thing..No big Whoop!

I wont purchase "Lush" Bath Bombs again. IT also takes to long for delivery.

I've tried a few of these after reading so much about them. What a disappointment! Yes, they fizz-- but that's about it. All of mine were faintly scented, but they smelled more like a science project gone awry. Y*U*C*K. Anyway, I like the ones from Haute Tub *much* better. Their buttercream frosting, candy cane crunch and pumpkin pie smell delicious. Just thought I'd share.
