Bath bombs: they're not just for baths anymore.

Thanks to "professional Lush enthusiast" @therosequeenn,I Am a Plaything the famed beauty products have taken on a purpose beyond making your bathwater smell like lavender. @Therosequeenn, whose real name is Andrea, films herself chopping upbath bombs for her Instagram.

Don't worry; it's not as traumatizing as it sounds. In fact, the videos are incredibly satisfying -- in a candle-carving, makeup-destroying, DIY-sliming kind of way.

In each video, Andrea uses a knife to cut a bath bomb into relatively even slices. Then, she makes another set of lengthwise cuts and voilà! The bath bomb is a set of cuboid chunks.

So what makes these videos so damn good? According to commenters, it's about texture, sound, and symmetry. On Instagram, several people praised the way Andrea's knife cuts seamlessly through the "soft" bath bomb material. (The inside looks a little like Technicolor fudge, right?)

Other commenters loved the way the clips were staged, with a crisp white background and the bath bomb justfilling the frame. There's also an auditory factor. The small thud of the knife hitting the table, for example, appears to be extremely gratifying for viewers.

And that satisfaction is no accident. Over email, Andrea said that she initially started making the videos after she'd sought out ASMR to help manage her anxiety.

"I came across videos of people cutting up kinetic sand and I fell in love with the sound," she said. Soon after, she decided to try the same thing with her bath bombs, in hopes that her videos would help others manage their anxiety, too.

If her commenters are any indication, she's met her goal -- and then some.

Check out more of Andrea's videos below, and try not to think about how much bath bombs cost.
