You don’t need glycerin to make giant bubbles.
Glycerin helps bubbles hold moisture, but it doesn’t make them strong. What giant bubbles need is a polymer. Here’s our free recipe, which doesn’t use glycerin.
Ingredients
- 100ml Fairy Liquid or Dawn
- 900ml lukewarm water
- ½ teaspoon J-Lube
Method
Mix the J-Lube into the washing-up liquid, add the water and stir gently. Leave it to rest for 24 hours before use.
Which washing-up liquid?
Only use Fairy Liquid or Dawn by Procter & Gamble. See exactly which bottles to buy.
What about sugar, syrup and glycerin?
They help with moisture, not strength. That’s why homemade recipes using them often pop.
Questions
Can you make giant bubbles without glycerin?

Why do online recipes disappoint?
