Does anyone have trouble taking a bath or a shower?

As long as I don't get wet I enjoy them... Joking of corse. I don't like having a bath or shower regularly. Seems un-natural to be clean. I mean clean that often.

Re-reading this looks aweful! Haha! I do keep myself clean but I am not one who goes in for superclean. I mean... Ummm. You know Wesley from Last Of The Summer Wine? Well.. I maybe like him in a way but instead of cars I have bicycles!

I’ve always loved the water, so I take baths daily when there is time.

It can be hard to get in and out when you have an injury, though.

No, I'm gross and hate being wet.

I take a shower (or bath) once a month.
Whether I need it or not. :mrgreen:

I have big scars on both knees that make it uncomfortable and painful for me to kneel, so it can be harder to get out of the bath than it should be. I still like baths, but I probably wouldn’t be able to get out of some types without it taking me a long time. My shower is seperate, so I don’t have any problems with that.

There are machines you can get for the bath that lower you into it and then raise you up when you need to get out. Something like that might be good for you.

Baths used to give me a lot of troubles when it was messy, smelly, small and dirty until I decided to remodel it. Remodeling my bathroom changed the vibes of my house. It became more spacious and beautiful. Hygienic and lovely. With a small bath tub and shower cabinet, now I enjoy having a bath. All thanks to the bathroom renovation San Jose CA remodeling team. Their work was perfect and I love to get a bath 2 times in a day. For a fresh feeling in the morning and at night to reduce all my stress and tiredness.

I have major sensory issues with the transition from dry to wet, and it also just seems like such a hassle to me. Because of these issues, I sometimes avoid showering for longer than I should.

I always preferred showers. More logical, quicker, refreshing. Wash the sleep out of your face.

I agree with the Japanese, that sitting in a bath full of dirty water isn't very hygienic.
I can see how therapeutic baths can be. Being emerged in warm water can be pleasant and relaxing.

I also note being emerged in a moving body of water especially the sea can also be invigorating.

I take a shower every day, sometimes more than once if i have been to the gym or doing any form of physical work.
I think its the best way to wake up, otherwise i would probably never wake up ever.
