Bathing with your significant other is good in all sorts of ways, although things can get kind of cramped when you try sticking two people in one bathtub. That's why German wellness products manufacturer Trautwein created the Yin Yang "couple bath." It lets you and that special someone bathe together without, you know ... bathing together.

Designed for use in spas and hotels, the Yin Yang consists of two side-by-side tubs, each of which has its own faucet, taps and drain. This means that the temperature in each tub can be set to that bather's liking, plus either of the tubs can be used on its own, without having to fill up the other. Additionally, the company points out that it could be used by friends, or mothers and daughters, who wouldn't necessarily want to be right in the same tub together.

Each tub features integrated lights that can be set to different colors, an underwater sound system that allows users to bathe "directly in the loudspeaker" as the music pulses through the water, and an array of air and water nozzles. The product takes its name, of course, from its resemblance to the Chinese yin-yang symbol.

... and if you're thinking that it brings Saturday Night Live's Love Toilet to mind, you're not the only one.

Pretty much the most unromantic bathing idea ever! Kind of defeats the purpose of bathing with your lover.

The only reason i would get into a bath with a woman would be to get jiggy with her. this is pointless, if I got into this with my wife she would never shut up.

A solution in search of a problem. Somewhere near the start of this, some critical thinking was lacking.

It's living the Cialis commercial in your home, but without the view.

The reasoning is perverse. It is true that "things can get kind of cramped when you try sticking two people in one bathtub" -- if it is standard size. But if your bathroom has space for this thing, it has space for a wide unitary bath, un-cramped, where it would be much easier to lather each other.
The only couple I can imagine needing it would be so allergic to each other's preferred soaps that they have to rinse in the shower after bathing.

Yeah no. I like spooning in the bath with my partner thanks. I don't need a wall erected to make it harder. Pardon the pun

Maybe they could put some "feely holes" in the divider?
