There’s that say that people seem to think is true and that says you shouldn’t eat 30 minutes before you get into the water. Of course, that’s just to keep kids on the shore a little longer. There is no actual reason why you couldn’t have a snack while taking a relaxing bath. In fact, most people don’t do that because it’s not practical. What they seem to forget is that there’s a specially-designed tray that can be very useful in such cases.

When you’re not using the tray for its intended purpose it can be a support for decorations

A bathtub tray is also very useful in case you like reading while taking a bath. It’s supposed to be a very soothing and relaxing activity so why not combine it with something just as relaxing and pleasant? The tray allows you to lay back and sit comfortable without worrying that the book will get wet and without your hand getting tired.
