Liquid Float

grache2016 · March 2016

I'm going to try going to a Liquid Float center in about 2 hours. It's supposed to have positive benefits for aches and pains. My back pain and costochondritis have gotten out of control so I'm desperate. Anyone ever try going to a Liquid Float center while preggo?

NLewis1 · March 2016

I have no idea what this even is....

CourtJack · March 2016

Like a salt water floating bath? If so yes and they're amazing

CourtJack · March 2016

I did think this post was going to be a lot some sort of milk shake or ice cream drink though. So I'm disappointed.

Yup. Me too.

Mmm...I could go for a rootbeer float....

PBear93 · March 2016

@courtjack, I did too.

BabyboyS2016 · March 2016

Me three! I can't get ice cream out of my head!

chelseay416 · March 2016

Yea! I went to a spa i had a gift card to that does the flotation tanks back in January and I'm going again next week. From my understanding, some people love it and some people hate it - it kind of depends how good you are at shutting your brain off for an hour. I was totally asleep by the time they came and knocked on my tank. Enjoy it!!

I've been thinking about ice cream since yesterday and I thought this was an omen that I am meant to get ice cream. Still taking it as such.

alysemci · March 2016

I thought you were going to ask for types of float drinks like root beer float and my personal fav orange float

MamaNicoleof3 · March 2016

Ohmigosh. Orange floats = creamsicles = drool. And root beer floats with A&W. Man alive.

There's a 90% chance I'm having one after dinner tonight. When I say 90% I completely mean 100%

lm45678 · March 2016

I totally thought it was going to be about a drink too.

...looks like OP won't be eating the responses she expected!

VikingGirl12 · March 2016

This reminded me that I'm eating ice cream for dinner tonight.

Also, I think I'd be terrified if I had to lie in a tank for an hour.

Freudian slip?!

Emztron500 · March 2016

I've heard from a few woman who went while pregnant and hated it, but I'd be curious to try anyway.

also I want a root beer float.

gauge1234 · March 2016

Yes! I go and love it. Both for physical and mental relaxation.

I would go tired or after exercise if possible. That way 90 min of relaxation and silence is golden.

Some places also can play audio from your iPhone so you could put a book on or an album you really like.

Personally I prefer silence and the best sleep

Let us know what you think!!

gauge1234 · March 2016

Ps - I also may need to stop at AW tonight lol

dennyandlee · March 2016

I would love to do something like that. And I want a ginger ale sherbet float.

Lol me too!!! Dangit

grache2016 · March 2016

Lol... An ice cream float sounds delicious though!

I did mean the salt bath though. It's basically a pod with enough salt to make you float. I did it today and it was amazing! My back feels so much better today. They gave me the option to play music but I decided to go for total silence for 60 minutes. After I finally shut off my brain, I fell asleep!

What??? That's a thing? I have rainbow sherbet and ginger ale at the house. This could be dangerous. Thank you!!

HBamama2B · March 2016

A) the saltwater bath looks amaze balls!
B.) I'm in desperate need of a root beer float

arteduc8 · March 2016

I have never tried this before, but all I can think of is the Simpsons:

kayla2536 · March 2016

I did it for the first time today and loved it! My tank wasn't like that picture, it was like a big 8' tall cube. They played music for the first 15 min and the last 5 minutes and had the option of underwater lights, "starlight"in the ceiling or pitch black. I went for pitch black and ended up falling asleep. I feel so rejuvenated and calm and relaxed and my feet and hips don't ache like they were. I can't wait to do it again.

MamaNicoleof3 · March 2016

That looks SO STINKIN' COOL! But I think my fear of drowning would kick in and I'd freak out.

Mamabraun7911 · March 2016

@HBamama2B exactly what I was going to say!! We have an awesome drive in that just opened and has TONS of float options! Thanks to this post I will be forcing H to take DS and I there tomorrow for lunch!

1) does this look scary to anyone else? They close you in there?!?
2) This also makes me think of the pods they use in the movie interstellar to hibernate while they're traveling across space. Of course I just re-watched that 5 days ago so it's on the brain.

Glad I'm not the only one!
That looks terrifying

Also, I want a milkshake.

I wish this was an option for home bathtubs...

Love the gif!

1) So the place I went to, I had my own room. I was able to keep the pod open or closed, but I went with it closed. It's really spacious inside!
2) Totally looks like a hibernation pod!

chelseay416 · March 2016

Yea, my place has a sliding door on the top of the pod so if you get claustrophobic, you can leave it cracked for a little bit of light. It was actually pretty spacious. The water in mine was only about a foot deep - my giant butt hit the bottom a few times, but I definitely felt relaxed afterwards.

Diesel615 · March 2016

I want to try that!! I think I may freak if I was closed inside tho. I also really really want a root beer float now. I told H I want to go to Red Robin to get one (they have endless refills mmmmmm)

Want a personalized experience?
