A question for the guys . Baths : Yay or Nay?

[FPLOON]

Uh... I usually end up taking shower-baths... which are showers that lead up to taking a bath with the shower still on...

("I think I need to check to make sure nothing's clogging up my bathtub/shower combo..." I told myself a few months ago...)

I haven't taken one in a few years. Since I shower usually on the morning, I don't have much time to take a bath. I can see the appeal of taking a bath after a long day to relax, I just have other things I could do besides sitting in a tub for a while to unwind after school/work.

 

[frizzlebyte]

I used to take baths, but I got out of the habit of it and can't stand it now. Showers for me.

 

[FadedEchos]

Showers for cleaning, easily.

But when I want to relax, or treat some muscle soreness, bath bath bath! Grab a nice book, maybe some snacks and a beer or water, and just disappear into fiction for a while. So nice.

Of course, without a book, bathing is borrrringggg so I can understand all the anti-bath sentiments on that front.

 

[crazyarms33]

Not to get clean, I prefer a shower. However if I am super sore, I do not mind taking a long soak in a very hot tub to relax the muscles.

 

[Neonit]

I love to take baths, but... they are not efficient. It takes a lot of time, water and energy to fill a bathtub. besides, im tall - so i have yet to see a bathtub my size.
The last time i took a bath was a couple of years ago, it was some kind of resort for old people.

So... if all the cons are eliminated, i would love to take a bath, but less as an alternative to shower, and more as relaxation.

im surprised people wouldnt like baths. then again, i love being in water, guess not everyone does.

 

[GalanDun]

Showers for me, thanks.

 

[Tayh]

I like baths.
I don't have a bathtub, but if I did, I'd use the shit out of it.
It's a form of guilty pleasure, though, since I couldn't possible mentally overcome sitting in a bathtub filled with dirty water from my body. So if, potentially, I had a bathtub, I'd make sure to take a shower first and clean up that way.

 

[Drops a Sweet Katana]

I'm not a fan of baths. They take too long and I have yet to find a bathtub that I can fit in. Showers are quicker, more convenient, more hygienic (you know, what bathing is MEANT to be) and use less water.

 

[Tsun Tzu]

Shower.

Baths take far too much time and, frankly, I have better ways to waste said time. That and I'm just not into the idea of lounging around in my own soup.

Now, throw a female into that bath with me and I'll be much more open to the idea. Hell, I'll even add bubbles.

 

[Roofstone]

You guys are all cowards. We tough folk waterboard!

OT: Shower. Though I am a girl, so it doesn't count. D:

 

[Ferisar]

Yep. Not often, because it's time consuming, but sometimes. It's just kind of nice. You can also read while there, among other things.

LADIES.

Yeah I don't know, but, sure.

EDIT:
Also, I wouldn't substitute showers for baths. Different purposes and all that junk.

 

[KefkaCultist]

I used to have an occasional me-soup, usually only when I was sick or something though. However, we got rid of our tub for a larger shower now, so it's all showers for me for the foreseeable future.

 

[Agayek]

I always, always shower.

Sometimes though, I'll lay down in the tub while I shower for all the benefits of a bath without having to wait for the tub to fill before I get in.

 

[Kinitawowi]

Utterly hate baths; they take too long (both being in them and running them), soaking in your own filth always feels weird (the awareness that you're doing so, rather than the actual act), and getting the temperature right always seems too much of a crapshoot (our bath is just plain weird when it comes to temperature distribution); plus there's like 11 people living in my house and not all of them are that interested in cleaning out the bath after they've finished OMG OTHER PEOPLE'S PUBES.

However, we don't have a shower in our house because it can't support one (the bathroom is upstairs so there's issues with water pressure, or something), and after the mess the council made installing the bath I'm not sure I'd trust them to do any better with a shower. So baths it is, out of necessity (I've just got out of one, actually). I really need to move out, but London.

 

[Rblade]

not for washing, at least not when I'm actually dirty. But it's close to the ultimate form of relaxation. Really sitting back into a large tub of medium hot water with a cold beer and at least a solid half hour of nothing at all to do. Let all the worries float away for a bit

 

[DANEgerous]

Only if it has jets. Otherwise no they are long and wasteful.

 

[floppylobster]

I take a lot of baths in the winter. I started taking them more the older I got. And after being in Japan (where everyone takes baths) and working out the perfect temperature to have one at.

 

[MarsProbe]

Showers all the way for me - probably been over 15 years since I last actually had a bath. Even when I had a bath in my flat, I still just used the shower unit. I never really have time for a bath and wouldn't be particularly bothered about using one for relaxing in anyway.

 

[___________________]

I haven't had a bath in years. Maybe that's why I'm always so pissed off at everything. Maybe a bath would relax me instead of a quick shower. Thanks for the idea mate.
