tubs

Containers for soaking

Tubs is the plural of tub—a wide, round container for holding liquids or other contents: bathtubs, washtubs, hot tubs.

Small containers for food products are also tubs: a tub of butter, a tub of ice cream.

Informally, tub can mean a slow or ungainly boat, or disparagingly, a heavy person's body.
