How Do You Use Shower Steamers?

One of our favorite things about shower steamers is that they’re super easy to use! But let’s walk through some simple steps so you can be sure you’re getting the most out of your new favorite product.
Step One: Get Your Steamer Wet… but Don’t Soak It
Place your shower steamer at the opposite end of the showerhead as you’re waiting for the water to warm so that the steamer gets a little wet. This will activate the steamer and begin the process of releasing those delicious essential oils into the steamy air of your shower.
But again, it’s not a bath bomb, so don’t soak it or let it become submerged. The idea is long-term release rather than instant gratification.
Step Two: Place Your Steamer Away From the Showerhead
Once you’re ready to step into the shower and your steamer is slightly damp — you should start to smell it within 30 seconds. At that point, you’ll want to move it away from the showerhead.
You can place it on a side or corner of your tub, as long as it’s not getting repeatedly splashed. If you have a shower caddy underneath the showerhead, you could palace it there so that it stays dry.
It’s also possible to get a mesh container or even a suction-cup soap holder specifically for your shower steamer. Just place it on the far side of your tub so that the steamer isn’t hit with water directly. This is a more advanced move for the shower steamer devotees among us.

Helpful tips & tricks:

Create a nice hot shower to generate steam, which is powerful enough to release the essential oils in the product.
Avoid letting the shower tablet get too wet. We recommend getting the shower steamer tablet wet when activating it only. Then place it in a corner area to avoid direct stream - this will extend the life of the product.
You can easily also use it in your bathtub while taking a shower if you do not have a shower corner (but don't throw it into bath water to take a bath!
