Apparently this is a thing - a shower mat made entirely of moss that feeds on the water that drips off of you when you get out of the shower. My opinion? I think it's cool, a neat way to keep plants in the home, saves washing a bath mat, and I love the feel of moss under my feet. I would totally think about getting one. Or making one; apparently it's not hard to do.
It looks cool but I want something in the bathroom that I can launder and add bleach to. I like to use those terry cloth bath mats for that reason. The lion’s claw tub is the coolest thing in that bathroom, I would love to have one, easier to take a bath and lean back in them.
@FaeLuna yes that’s right because my neck hurts if the back doesn’t slope. But the reason for the deep tub is to stay warm for a long soak with Epsom salts. They should come out with covers for them to retain the heat with a place for your head to stick out.
@Viper Moss feels like a soft carpet depending on the type. It's very nice. Not sure about bugs but I suppose that's always a possibility. Moss shouldn't have a smell, though unless your nose is right down in it.
@FaeLuna That is so good, both for the environment and human health (miss contains natural antiseptic). There are trees near where I live covered in the stuff - it's like something out of Middle Earth 🧙♂️🧚♀️
@SweetMae I don't believe so, unless it's poorly made or something. In theory, the moss should be absorbing all the moisture that the fungus would need to grow, so it never has a chance.
@FurryFace I mean, if it's a carpet that doesn't retain moisture after the tub drains, maybe there's something there. But I feel like that would have too many other problems to be worth it.
@SW-User I think the idea is to cultivate the moss and make sure it isn't destroyed. Was there something specific about the moss you have a problem with, or is this just a jab at consumerism in general?
