One woman thought she would take a relaxing bath – adding some coconut oil to make it extra luxurious. But once she drained the bath she realised she was completely stuck.

Imgur user, denshan, posted an image of her legs and the bathtub covered in the coconut oil, making it impossible for her to get out.

"I am stuck in a bath," she wrote along with the photo. "I can't actually get out of my bathtub. Why? I thought - 'I will have a relaxing bath'. I found some bath salts. Lit some candles and poured in some coconut oil - now I am realising it was too much coconut oil. Went to get out after pulling the plug and I just slide around like a giant greased up potato in a roasting dish. There is no traction. No grip. Just me and my fat body slipping around covered in oil. F*** home beauty remedies."

Luckily, she was eventually able to escape the slippery tub after 30minutess of scrubbing the tub out with soap.

"I escaped by refilling with water and cleaning the bath with the closest soap-like product.”

Thank goodness for that!
