Tips & Tricks

Get the best results from your Soap Shower. Learn how to prime it, adjust the soap setting, reduce shower gel use, swap refill containers and use thicker products more easily.


Every shower is slightly different. Water pressure, shower gel thickness and your preferred soap level all affect the best setting. After a few showers, you will quickly find what works for you.

  • Use thinner shower gels

    Thin shower gels, bath soak and bubble bath flow most easily through Soap Shower. Thick, creamy gels and shampoos may flow more slowly.

    Using a thick gel? Mix it with a small amount of water before filling the container.

  • Water above the soap is normal

    Some water may remain above the shower gel after use. This is normal and helps thin the gel ready for your next shower.

    There is no need to empty the container after every use.

  • Use the supplied showerhead

    The supplied aerated showerhead mixes air into the soapy water to create the best bubbly effect.

    Other showerheads will still deliver the mixture, but some may produce fewer visible bubbles.

  • Start high, then turn down

    Turn the soap control up at the beginning to start the soap flowing.

    Once it comes through the showerhead, turn the control down to the level you prefer. This helps prevent using more shower gel than necessary.

Find the setting that works for you

The correct dial position will depend on:

1. The thickness of your shower gel;
2. Your shower’s water pressure;
3. The showerhead spray setting;
4. How much soap you prefer.

Start high, wait for the soap to reach the showerhead, then gradually turn the dial down. Once you have found your preferred position, it should be quicker to set on future showers.

Switch between soap and rinse whenever you like

Turn the soap control on when you want shower gel and turn it off when you want clean water for rinsing.

You do not need to leave the soap running throughout the whole shower.

Swap between shower gels and shampoo

Soap Shower can be used with different shower gels and shampoos, so you can change products whenever you like. Thinner products flow most easily, while thicker shampoos or creamy gels may need diluting with a little water.

For quicker changes, keep each fragrance or product in its own spare refill container. You can then swap containers without rinsing one out or mixing fragrances.

Always turn the shower off before removing or changing a refill container.

Shop spare refill containers

Quick answers

Why are my bubbles weaker than expected?

Use the supplied showerhead, try a thinner gel and briefly turn the soap control higher to start the flow.

Why is the shower gel running out quickly?

Do not leave the control at maximum. Start high, then reduce it once the soap is flowing.

Why is the gel not coming through?

The gel may be too thick. Dilute it with a small amount of water and try a higher setting briefly.

Why is there water inside the refill container?

This is normal. Water can remain above the gel and helps thin it for the next showe
