How to Get Sydney Sweeney's Bathwater Soap: Competition and Release Date
Sweeney, who starred in the first White Lotus series, partnered with natural body care brand Dr. Squatch to produce Sydney's Bathwater Bliss, priced at around $8 per bar. A promotion campaign is giving away 100 as competition prizes.
One keen customer wrote on Instagram: "Made with your actual bath water? Lol. That's awesome! ... Let's go @sydney_sweeney."
Not all fans have been impressed though, one saying: "Sydney honey I love you but I don't know about this." Another wrote: "Geez this is literally sad for humanity."
The collaboration is soaking up the comments section of Sweeney's Instagram posts. Excited male fans are drooling over the star, and offended feminists are concerned about her "stimulation of the male gaze" and "promotion of a female stereotype."
One user appeared to suggest the collaboration could have wider repercussions on gender issues, writing: "we're never making it out of the patriarchy."
While Sweeney voiced her excitement about this latest collaboration, she has previously spoken out about the way the world views her body.
She told Variety in March 2024: "People feel connected and free to be able to speak about me in whatever way they want, because they believe that I've signed my life away. That I'm not on a human level anymore, because I'm an actor. That these characters are for everybody else, but then me as Sydney is not for me anymore. It's this weird relationship that people have with me that I have no control or say over."
Sweeney, 27, is recently single, and has also featured in TV shows including Euphoria and Sharp Objects. Her movies, across a wide range of genres, include rom-com Anyone But You, horror movie Immaculate, and action film Madam Web.
This collaboration is in response to fan curiosity sparked by a previous advertisement by Dr. Squatch, the men's natural products store. It features Sweeney soaking in a candlelit bathtub, and playful banter from fans about her bathwater, led to the creation of the unconventional product.
Dr Squatch wrote in an Instagram announcement: "In collaboration with Sydney Sweeney, we created a limited-edition soap infused with her ACTUAL bathwater. Why? Because y'all wouldn't stop asking. And Sydney said, 'Let's do it.' (what a legend)"
The actor is not the first person to commercialize her bathwater. In 2019, an adult content star, Belle Delphine, sold jars of hers for $43 a piece, according to a report by the New York Post.
Sydney's Bathwater Bliss is set to launch on June 6, 2025, and there will be 100 winners in a competition to get a bar for free.
Each bar is crafted with natural ingredients, including exfoliating sand, shea butter, and a touch of Sweeney's bathwater, which Dr. Squatch's website said was "one of nature's finest aphrodisiacs."
It has a medium grit level, and the men's care brand said the bar smells like "morning wood," adding this included notes of pine, Douglas fir, and earthy moss.
Either follow Dr. Squatch's Instagram account and leave a comment, or you can fill out a form on its website. The product giveaway ends on June 4, and winners will be messaged or emailed from June 6.
Dr. Squatch said consumers would also be able to buy the product, although there is a very limited stock, reports saying only 5,000 bars have been made.
The men's care brand wrote: "But can I buy one?' Not yet … but we'll have a VERY limited stock when they do drop! Keep an eye out for an announcement."
Winners of the competition will find out on June 6, and fans will be able to purchase the product soon Dr. Squatch said, adding it would be providing a further announcement in due course.

Watch: Bills QB Josh Allen gives golf influencer with cerebral palsy Ryder Cup tickets
Nathan Forrestel loves the Buffalo Bills. The 22-year-old, who was born with cerebral palsy, has been a regular at Bills camp, which is held each summer at St. John Fisher University in Rochester, and he and quarterback Josh Allen shared a viral moment earlier this summer when Forrestel offered his congrats on Allen's recent nuptials. But there's one thing Forrestel loves as much (or more) than his beloved Bills — the game of golf. After graduating from high school, Forrestel broke out of his shell a bit by becoming a golf influencer. On Instagram, he's known as Nate the Golf Guy, and his account has more than 45,000 followers. On Thursday, Allen dropped a bombshell when the NFL's reigning MVP — who is also an avid golfer — saw Forrestel again in the autograph line after the final session of training camp and made the aspiring player an offer he couldn't refuse. "I've got a question for you," Allen started. "I've got two tickets to the Ryder Cup. They're yours if you want them." Forrestel's reaction was one for the ages. The quarterback has long been a golf nut, showing up at multiple PGA Tour events and playing in pro ams like the one at Pebble Beach. In 2020, he even gave his offensive linemen a pretty special Christmas gift in the form of custom-fit golf clubs — Callaway Mavrik woods and irons, an Odyssey putter and an Ogio golf bag. After the practice, Allen said he was happy to be part of the exchange. "Obviously, it's in New York this year. So why not have the only New York team send some of our Bills Mafia fans over there? Nate's a great guy, he golfs a lot. He's got a good swing, so it was a cool moment."

‘Freakier Friday' has magical chemistry but it won't swap places with the beloved original
'Freakier Friday' proves that time is its own magical device. Generations of fans of the body-swap series — from the original 1972 novel by Mary Rodgers and Jodie Foster's 1976 Disney adaptation to this 21st century update — have had decades to learn firsthand that everyone becomes their parents, no cursed fortune cookie required. In the justly beloved 2003 remake, emo teenager Anna (Lindsay Lohan) was horrified to wake up as her uptight mother Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) — and vice versa — on the eve of Tess' wedding. Now, Anna is the strict single mother who can't get her grouchy high schooler, Harper (Julia Butters), to approve of her own fiancé, Eric (Manny Jacinto), a doting British widower who comes with his bratty girl, Lily (Sophia Hammons). Meanwhile, Tess beams with satisfaction that age alone has made Anna a dork and her the cool grandma. 'You're so lame,' she teases her daughter. Before you can say 'Beware that psychic' (played by a hilarious Vanessa Bayer), all four females switch physiques: Harper with Anna and Lily with Tess. You know that Mark Twain quote, 'History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes'? Here, it's an echoey reverb with all the panicked gals shouting at once. The goal of the first Lohan and Curtis movie was to get the relatable pair to experience life in each other's sneakers and heels. Both ultimately understood that the other's priorities deserved respect, be it Anna's rock band practice or Tess' root canal. The goal of Nisha Ganatra's serviceable sequel is to get audiences who love those characters to buy a ticket and hang out with them again. (Everyone — yes, everyone — is back.) There's not that much emotional insight to glean from forcing Lily to become her potential step-grandmother, a stranger she barely knows. There's simply hijinks. The kids, who hate each other, use their adult-shaped opportunity to try to split up their mom and dad so they don't have to be siblings, like the screenplay itself is its own swapped inversion of Lohan's other childhood remake, 'The Parent Trap.' They also land good zingers about what Gen Z considers passé. Lily sneers that Facebook is 'a database of old people.' Meanwhile Anna and Tess, who've been through this before, don't have much motivation beyond using their lithe young bodies to ride scooters and scarf cheeseburgers. Editor Eleanor Infante entrusts the movie's energy to montages: fashion shoots, photo booths, feeding frenzies. The storyboards could have been a cheery Instagram slideshow. Anna and Harper's central mother-daughter plot line is so hastily sketched that it barely registers. 'Freakier Friday' is in such a rush to get on with things that we don't get much of a sense of either of their personalities. Anna, who's grown up to manage a needy pop singer named Ella (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), is your standard earnest mother. Harper, uh, likes to surf. It's no fault of the actors that you have to squint very, very hard to see the girl inside the woman and the woman inside the girl — Lohan is grounded and likable in her big comeback, holding the screen with assurance. But it is a shame that the promising Butters doesn't get the same showcase of her own preternaturally mature talent, other than one scene where she yells and another one where she cries. Tess and Lily are easier to parse. Tess, a therapist, is so certain her opinions are important that she steps on everyone's sentences. Lily is vain and snippy and about as convincingly English as if the only research into her character was a season of 'The Great British Bake Off.' As evidence, there's a bake sale where her treat is accused of having the dreaded 'soggy bottom,' triggering an epically well-staged food fight. Jordan Weiss' script is so tangential to the movie's charms that things would feel pretty much the same if Harper and Lily had traded places, or honestly, if no one swapped at all. People just want to see Curtis and Lohan palling around in a comedy that frames their reunion like it's the Hope Diamond. With both actors confidently cutting loose, their chemistry pulls so much focus that it's a continual struggle to remember the basic conceit. My brain refused to absorb that it was watching Harper as Anna played by Lohan. It just lit up at how nice it was to see Lohan strap on a guitar and sing a couple of songs. Adorably, the numbers Anna wrote in high school for her all-girl band, Pink Slip, went on to become minor hits — when Pink Slip reunites onstage at the Wiltern Theater, the crowd knows their lyrics. Half of Tess' lines are just variations on vain Lily's fear of wrinkles, dentures and suit jackets stuffed with used tissues. 'I'm bloody decomposing!' she wails. The gags are more cruel than clever. But Curtis hurls herself into this schtick with gusto — say, demanding a ring light and lip plumper for her passport photo — and gets you laughing anyway. (As a reward, the costumer Natalie O'Brien highlights Curtis' eternally spectacular curves.) Curtis is having such a blast channeling her inner fashionista that I'd have been content with just a Tess and Lily swap with an ordinary Anna and Harper covering for their chaos before any of the exceedingly patient men in their lives find out. There's so much, and yet so little, happening that the key image of the movie turns out to be an early throwaway joke: Tess driving her granddaughter to school and getting flummoxed by the logjam at a four-way stop. None of these characters has the narrative right of way. When the four women reconvene at a wedding rehearsal dinner, the staging of the restaurant scene is just as frustrating, with the audience staring at everyone's faces, wondering who, if anyone, will take charge. Ganatra is mildly interested in cramming bodies inside another and majorly invested in squeezing as many funny female comics as possible into the running time, with fantastic cameos for Chloe Fineman as a dance instructor, X Mayo as a school principal, June Diane Raphael as a ferocious pickleball competitor and Santina Muha as a lovelorn immigration agent. Bayer is terrific as Madame Jen, the cause of this film's corporal confusion, a flam-flam artist who side-hustles as a barista. The film is safely, studiously PG. When the underage child-women chug glasses of wine, a cutaway assures us its merely grape juice. Anna's former high school boyfriend Jake (Chad Michael Murray) gets roped into the action and I'd bet my own soul that there was once a version where he was Harper's conspicuously unnamed dad. Someone decided it would be too weird that the girl uses her mom's skin suit to flirt with him in the hope he'll disrupt the wedding. The old crank in me wished that I laughed harder than I did. 'Freakier Friday' won't trade places with the original in audience's hearts. But this disposable delight will at least allow fans who've grown up alongside Lohan to take their own offspring to the theater and bond about what the series means to them — to let their children picture them young — and then pinkie-swear, 'Let's never let that happen to us.'
