Twin Bath Differences & Similarities
Bath time with twins isn’t all that different than with a singleton except that there are two slippery babies and more chance of poo getting in the bath!
Most of these items I’d say just get one of, even the bath as in the beginning you’ll likely want to bathe them separately.
Once they get a bit older you may want to have two of the toy organizing scoops if you choose to get them so they can keep their own toys in there.

Baby Bathtub
First things first, a baby bathtub is very helpful and will last for years. We used the bathtub that we used with our oldest child, for our twins as well. For our oldest child, who was 2 when the twins were born, we used the removable seat and the twins used the newborn sling. Though the graphic below indicates the seat just needs to be used through month 9, our oldest was wiggly and a little guy so we opted to have him continue to use it.
We gave them all separate baths for safety when they were babies because babies are slippery! We used this bath for our kids until they were 2-3 years old and they started taking baths together.
- Bath time easily grows along with your newborn with this 4-stage convertible baby tub
- Includes soft mesh sling for newborn bathing, Sit-Me-Up insert to help prevent slipping and support unsteady sitters, plus 2 toys for water play
- Remove the sling and Sit-Me-Up insert for a spacious toddler tub (Max. weight 25 lb/ 11.3 kg)
- Convenient drain plug and hook for drying and space-saving storage
- Tub fits most sinks and adult bathtubs
Baby Shampoo & Body Wash
I did a lot of research when I was pregnant with our first child regarding all of the horrible chemicals that are in a lot of personal care products. Seeing as it was known that Johnson & Johnson had been putting formaldehyde in their baby products for decades, I obviously wouldn’t be using what I used as a baby.
The Honest Co. is what we decided to use for our first baby and continue to use with our twins. It’s nice to have just one bottle for shampoo and body wash! The EWG (Environmental Working Group) gives this duo a 2 which is a lot better than many products. If you get the fragrance-free version, it has a rating of 1, which is even better! (0 is the best on their rating scale).

Faucet Protector
Babies are slippery and sometimes flail around in the tub, especially as they get older. It’s important to have a faucet protector on the faucet so baby doesn’t hit his head and get hurt on it. We have this one and love it. It doesn’t need to be removed when you fill the tub, the faucet works normally, this just pads it. We just leave it on and all times.

Bath Toys
Bath toys can be so fun but also need to be safe. The squirty toys many of us grew up with were fun, but we need to remember that they also collect mold. We were aware of that and still ended up with some issues of mold in squirty toys so ended up getting rid of all of them. Here are some bath toys that won’t end up moldy.
Floating Bath Toys
These bath toys are really fun as they float and don’t gather water inside of them. Though they don’t get water inside, the turtle, penguin, and shapes are free-floating so they move around while they’re in the tub.
- Product 1: Includes 2 fun characters and 2 whirly toys that spin and rattle; you may receive a turtle and penguin or duck and whale
- Product 1: Each bubble helps stimulate baby's sense of sight, hearing and touch

Interactive Water Toy
Our twins love taking turns filling up big cups of water and then pouring them into this toy to see the water flow out and the spinner spin around.
【Fun Bath Toys Kit】Includes 6 water-squirting, floating ocean animal friends and a lovely monkey caterpillar toy. The monkey toy suck on the bathtub, water makes the monkey's eyes and stars rotate, the monkey's mouth will spit water, and the water at the outlet of multiple pipes below forms a beautiful waterfall, which drives the windmill to rotate.Your kids will love bathing from now on!
Stacking Cups
These are so simple but loved by my kids. There are different sizes that stack into each other and they also have different shaped holes on the bottom that the water can drain through. They are fun, educational (work on naming colors), and able to be stacked up and stored in small spaces.
- Colorful Baby Toys: 8 brightly colored cups stack together with Unique Holes in the Bottom for water play
- Stacking Cups: Children love to fit toy cups together, stack them up, or turn them over and hide things underneath
- Baby Development Toys: Large numbers on the bottom to practice counting & number recognition
- Made without BPA

If your tub doesn’t offer a lot of storage around the outside of it, there are many options for bath toy storage.
