Do you prefer showers or baths?

(This thread was inspired by a recent spam thread that has been deleted.)

I don't have a bathtub, but when I did, I almost always took showers.

The only time I took a bath was when I was sick.

I don't get sick very often, but I am sick right now, so I wish I had a bathtub.

Do you prefer showers or baths?

Can’t remember the last bath I took. Sitting in dirty water turns me off.

Yeah, I agree, but when I'm sick, taking a warm bath is good for my sinuses.

When I used to have a bathtub, I would shower off after my bath to be cleaner.

I just never liked the whole experience. I stay out of water in general. Pools, ocean etc.

Depends on the company :wink:

Yeh, as Seinfeld called it, “a bacteria frappe”.

That’s why for me, it’s a shower, or if I go for a soak, it’s bath then shower.

I actually just installed a garbage disposal in my shower. The latest Clarkman model.

I’ve never understood the appeal of a bath if a hot shower is available. I know many people find it relaxing but I don’t enjoy it at all.

Japanese people shower first, then take a bath. The bath water remains clean and can be reheated for the next time. They also have these unibody whole-bathroom units, no joints, no edges, no silicon, just one continuous smooth surface super easy to clean. In my opinion, they have the best bathing system.

The last time I ever took a bath, I was a toddler, so I’m biased towards showers :smiley: I’d like to try and soak in a tub once (after showering myself clean like the Japanese do) to know what it feels like.

Shower, all the way. Took out the tub from the master bath and had a shower stall put in. The other tub hasn’t been used in years.

Hope you get feeling better quickly.

Thanks!

I feel better today than yesterday, so I hope I continue on this path of improvement.

Worked in construction for a while and hell or high water got the work done. Come home soaking wet or a sheet of ice all over. A bath helped to restore the lost heat and slumber was deep.

When I renovated my bathroom, just so conveniently a 6’ acrylic unit fitted between the walls. Although seldom used now (bathwise), I enjoy the extra space (36” versus 30”) in showering.

Behavioural conditioning: having an active weekday lifestyle I wouldn’t think to soak in the tub much; on a bleak and rainy Sunday, I may decompress with some music, a headrest, and of course some aromatic bubbly…

When I built my house, I bought a stock house plan. It called for a tub in the master bath. Instead I bought a fiberglass base and surround the size of a traditional tub. Low threshold and roomy. Love it. The tub in the full bath gets used to bath the grandchildren or my wife’s plants.

Wish my house has an awesome view like this.

We have a pretty good view, but we don't have a bunch of large windows or glass doors like in that photo.

We usually go outside to enjoy the view the best.

Dang—-How did you get a picture of my Bathroom

Showers for speed and daily use.
Bath on rare occasions and time to spare.

That sure is tranquil. You don’t need curtains.
