The bathtub includes a bottom and a side wall. The bottom is provided with a drain port. The bottom is foldable. The side wall includes a flexible folding portion and a hard support shell. The flexible folding portion and the hard support shell of the side wall are arranged along the circumference of the bathtub. There are at least two hard support shells in the side wall, and each hard support shell has at least one adjacent flexible folding portion. The hard support shells move relative to each other through a connecting assembly to achieve the horizontal folding of the bathtub. The horizontal folding of the barrel body can be achieved through the flexible folding portion. The hard support shell used is wrapped around the outside of the flexible folding portion, without any splicing marks, and will not debond, crack, or leak, which can effectively extend the service life of the device. At the same time, the flexible folding portion after storage is completely wrapped inside the hard support shell, which can effectively prevent the flexible material part of the barrel body from leaking due to contact with sharp objects during storage.
