Baths or Showers??

sian-tiffany, 1 November, 2012 at 16:10 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 31

I went to the gym last night and ached massively, H suggested i have a bath to soothe my muscles but I just don’t like baths. I much prefer a shower as I feel cleaner rather than lying around in dirty water. And I always say to people, do not buy me bath stuff I don’t have them, yet every year I end up with tonnes of Bubble Bath. I would say that I probably have say 1 bath a year……if that……………

H on the other hand loves baths and will have 1 a month (and use up all the stuff I get for Xmas).

What about you guys?

    Shower all the way!

    Only have a bath if i am really poorly and just want to chill somewhere warm! Like you I don't like the thought of sitting in my own dirt (or wee!)

    I have a bath every night. A long soak, for up to 2 hours. I adore soaking in scalding hot bubble baths.

    I have a bath every single night. It has to be really hot though, I like to scald myself clean.

    Shower. I like the idea of a long hot soak in the bath but I get bored after five minutes. I also get given bath products every year that just sit there unused.

    Baths, love them. I have epsom salt baths for my muscle pains. I'm the opposite in that I have a shower if I'm poorly just to get the getting clean and hair washed over and done with quickly and dont bother with shavng legs etc.

    I enjoy long soaks in the bath too, with the Kindle, and I finish with a shower to get my hair done. I shower in the mornings and probably have a bath every other night, in line with a hair wash. My water is always clean when I get out and I don't wee in the bath so I'm sure I'm reasonably safe from my own dirt.

    Bath, but only cos I don't have a shower. Otherwise, I would just have showers.

    If I'm washing my hair I'll have a shower. If not, I'll have a bath.

    I think I like the idea of a bath more than having an actual bath... I think 'oh I really want a bath' then once I'm in there I don't fit properly ( small bath and 5'8) then I get too hot and end up sweating in my bath then almost pass out from getting too hot and trying to get out the bath. However about once a month I forget all this and do it again!!!

    I shower every day but it's a quick functional thing - wash hair (if needed), body wash, face wash, out. Never understood spending hours in the shower.

    I love baths, but our bathroom at the moment is really badly ventilated so I just end up getting too hot, and then all dizzy/faint when I get out.

    I only ever have a shower as I hate sitting in the bath in dirty water and I hate washing my hair in the bath before I get a wash.

    Shower for me. We have a small space bath that is uncomfortable so I don't bother with them.

    We have a corner bath which is lovely and 70's, I hardly ever use it though as I just get too hot and bothered and I never feel clean.

    The house we are looking at tomorrow only has a double shower cubicle and no bath- I cant decide if I will miss having one though?

    Shower in a morning and bath in the evening to unwind. Hubs hates baths and says I'm stewing in my own muck but I know that secretly he gets in when Jack Frost starts nipping!

    Definately shower, we dont have a bath but even if we did I still wouldnt use it! Take too long to run, they go cold too quickly, and its a paion to wash your hair.

    This. I can spend a good hour in the bath just reading. Showers only take me 10mins though so much more time efficient.

    I like showers just so I can wee in them ?

    i do like baths but they just take so long. I always feel like its a waste of water unless I soak for a bout 3 hours. If I want to relax I have a bath, if i want to be clean il have a shower.

    And again. Although I don't feel dirty after a bath - perhaps that's just me. I do rinse my hair in shower water though. If you don't have a bath, when do you do face packs? And you can't drink a glass of vino in the shower. I usually read but sometimes I just lie there staring at stuff.

    For those with spare bath products, take them to your local women's refuge!

    I hate baths; hate being in my own dirt, get bored and cold in baths, they take too long, they use too much water. We went in an Onsen in Japan and I was bored within five minutes, I just don't find things like that relaxing.

    I like showers, but I get in and out quickly, no faff. I use any bath stuff I get given in the shower.

    I always have a bath If we are staying in a hotel, purely because I don't have to clean it! I hate cleaning baths. Even when I have a bath at home, I shower after - hate washing my hair in the bath. Would have a bath maybe 4/5 times a year- much more a shower girl.
