Showers vs. baths

Post Reply New Topic

Do you ever take baths? I nearly always take showers hardly ever take baths.

I love showers and really strongly dislike baths. Showers feel like I'm really getting clean, and I like the falling water. Moving water also creates something called "negative ions" in the air which are actually mood-elevators: http://www.webmd.com/balance/features/negative-ions-create-positive-vibes

I don't like baths because I don't feel like I can get truly clean and rinsed without using the shower afterward anyway, and I'm short and can't anchor myself in the tub well enough to relax, thus defeating one of the purposes.

I prefer showers. They're faster and more comfortable to me.

I prefer a quick, easy shower. I'll too tall to fit comfortably in the tub, anyway.

I liked baths as a child and showers as an adult though I have taken baths as an adult. One example is when I moved in my apartment the shower was broke so I took baths until they fixed it.

I take showers to get clean, and occasionally a bath to relax.

I only have a shower now

I'd only ever take a bath if I was sick or something before

I haven't taken a bath in a while. Occasionally, I will take one if I'm sick or hurting.

I like baths, even during the summer months. As a matter of fact I'm sitting in the bath right now writing this post (on my mobile device). No, I won't drop it in the water. I'm not eight.

Haven't had a bath in ages, not since I was young. Always felt guilty about wasting that much water. Guess I could take a bucket and use it to water the backyard afterwards.

Shower especially after exercising. In the winter when it's cold, sometimes I'll exercise and take a quickie shower and get in the hot tub for a bubble bath and skin oil treatment.

Kinda sucks because now I'm taking showers in my bathtub that I used to designate for just bubblebaths, but my shower needs to be redone. I have school to pay for now for the next year and a half and the shower will take about $7,000 to redo. It probably ain't going to be done anytime soon unless I find me a handyman Hunny!

I strongly dislike baths unless they're cold. Showers are preferred for me.

I usually do baths every couple days; I feel like sitting in water relaxes muscles/joints/tissues/etc., so I try to do that fairly often, sometimes with epsom salt.

Although, yesterday, I did take a shower, and it did feel good to have the body wash foam running down everywhere.

I like soaking in a hot bath randomly through week.
Awful hovel we rent as we save for move home, I don't dare bathe. It has weird belchups in that can raise through a plug and drains slow if there was more then 2 inches standing.


Generally I take super fast showers. I do not like the feel of water droplets, rain or tap. It makes my skin crawl and nerves spike. I hate water in my face. I have to clean it with beauty cleansers usually and wet hot rag.
My son is terrified of baths since onset and nervous of showers that use tub enclosure. At home we had a walk in double shower that was in well lit open bathroom.
