Womb Simulator Now Available in U.S.

Posted by Madeline Holler

Just because your child was born, doesn't mean she can't revisit the womb environment daily. Even until she's three-years-old (supposedly). 

A product once only available in Europe now has an American distributor, "Bathed With Love." So curl up in the fetal position and get your orders in now.

The Tummy Tub, recently featured on the Today show with Matt Lauer, is a little plastic bucket -- oops, bath tub -- where you can, um, bathe your baby. Alone it sells for $45, but there are accessories, like a stand!, which are also available.

The Tummy Tub is designed to mimic the mother's womb, says Bathed With Love's Janis McKeller. Babies are covered in water up to the shoulders "so they can curl up and just relax." In a frank breech position, I might add.

Made of all natural materials, Tummy Tub has a non-skid bottom and a low center of gravity to prevent tipping. It holds children up to three years or 35 pounds.

Check out the video. Those kids, no doubt, are enjoying themselves. Kinda like my kids do in our un-natural, porcelein, adult-size womb simulator. Or what we call "the tub."

I don't want it. Even if my little one was small enough to have it I would not want it. You are supposed to leave the womb. Why all these things to conceptually put kids back in one ? Also it looks very uncomfortable.

when my kids were newborns (im sure all yours did this too) and i used to hold them in a blanket on my chest they would just naturally curl themselves back into a fetal position and the blanket seemed like a cozy belly. i would just look inside the blanket and see their little feet in their mouth all squished up and wished i could make it comfortable like that everyday. this tub could make that posssibly. but $45? no way dude. plus it looks like a major drowning accident waiting to occur.
