Some Lush bath bombs look and smell good enough to eat, but we obviously all know better. However, a doctor has warned people against ingesting the new aubergine bath bomb in a more NSFW way.

Lush's latest Valentine's Day collection pays homage to the modern world of dating with peach and aubergine-shaped bath bombs.

But if you're not sure how the purple vegetable ties into the world of love, the aubergine emoji is often used to represent a penis and if used with the squirt sign it means sex.

While Lush was being pretty cheeky with the collection, it has led to a few people expressing their concerns over people using the aubergine as a dildo.

Yes, you read that right. While you might think this is common sense, you have to remember we are speaking about humans who try to drive while blindfolded because of a film.

One person voiced their concerns on Twitter. They wrote:" Okay but did lush really think this through? There is gonna be at least one dumb*ss that tries to use that eggplant bath bomb as a dildo.

"Like come on. It's gonna happen [sic]."

But before someone actually tried to insert the bath bomb, a doctor issued a warning which they probably never though they would need to do.

Speaking to Metro, Dr Vaness Mackay, spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said: "We would strongly discourage the use of bath bombs internally as these could disturb the fragile balance of good bacteria inside the vagina.

"This natural flora helps to protect the vagina and disrupting it could lead to irritation, inflammation and infection, such as bacterial vaginosis or thrush.

The bath bomb shoots green and blue foam from both ends. (

"Women are advised to use plain, unperfumed soaps to wash the area around the vagina (the vulva), not inside it, gently every day."

Basically, just don't put the bath bomb anywhere but in your bath water.

If you want to pick one up for its intended use, then they are £3.95 in-store and online.
