I love baths, but being 6'3" I haven't had one in a very long time. I just don't fit comfortably in most tubs. Closest I've been in years is ice water in a therapeutic tub (not the most relaxing).
A question for the guys . Baths : Yay or Nay?

If I want a relaxing, soul-soothing bath complete with bubbles and salt and aroma and sprinkles, I won't let you ruin it for me. Come in. Fart. Poop. Pee. Do your worst. I'll think of Father Ted and smile myself happy, improper zen style. I gots bubbles. I smells good. You can't touch me.
It´s awesome to take a bath. Sadly i don´t have a water tub. But my god when i was living for a week at my friend´s place, i maybe took a hot bath every second day. Tho i then took a shower afterwards because i can´t se how you get "clean" by taking a bath compared to a shower.
I took baths as a kid growing up but then i started to only take showers, i'm about 6'ft tall so trying to fit in a bath comfortable is not an option form e so i don't bother, takes way to long for a bath to be full, sometimes balancing the temp is abit annoying, and then after 5-10 mins in the bath i get bored and get out, the only few times i have had a bath in the past few years not a shower is after a really hard week of work and my muscles are sore.
I don't have a bath, but I would really like one. My parents have a bath, and whenever I visit them I take the opportunity to soak a bit in my own filth while reading a good book or something. Very relaxing.
I take showers nearly all the time. But I will admit that I take the rare bath when I just want to soak in hot water and relax sore/stiff muscles. If I had a hot tub I would never take a bath =p
- as for the sitting in your own filth, take a 5 minute shower first, then take bath

I bathe but, the way I do it it's more like showering while sitting down. I turn the water on, get in, wash up, turn the water off, towel off, and leave. I takes a little longer if I wash my hair but, that's my routine. Doesn't take a lot of water or time.
It depends. Showers are for hygiene, baths are relaxation.
So, if I was going to take a bath it'd only after I scrubbed the grime off myself.
Also, it would have to be in a hot tub or something like a Sentō, because normal bathtubs just aren't comfortable.

If I do take a bath, I usually just do the japanese thing where you take a quick shower with soap to wash off the filth first before getting in the tub. That way I'm not stewing in dirty water, and instead get a chance to soak in really hot water for a while. My job is incredibly physically intensive and I sometimes come home sore as hell, and a nice scalding hot bath to relax the muscles is just what I need to feel better in the evening.
Not normally, no. I don't have the time for lazing about in hot water feeling good, I've got to work, become edumacated, cook, eat, play games, hang out with friends - a shower is much more convenient in that sense.
I do like baths when I take them, but I don't take them that often. They also have the downside of getting cold eventually, whilst the shower - so long as you have a good water heating system - stays warm as long as you need it to.

What?! Who the hell does that?
OT. Sure. I generally don't have baths, in part just because it's more of a time commitment then I can be bothered with and because I've either been in shared housing situations and / or not bath ones. But I have nothing against them...
They... don't?Jadak said:
Whoa, okay, I can't imagine the amount of water used for the whole family's bathing, what a waste!
I take showers every day, baths whenever I have a couple of hours to spare and I am super stressed
But not with bubbles, because I always feel silly with bubbles. So baths yes, no bubbles

Showers for convenience. A bath once in a while is good for your health though, and not in the hygiene sense.
Depends on how often you bath. If you do it on a regular basis or because you're trying to soak yourself in heat - sure.
But bathing isn't really a "get cleanest" practice. Plus I'm half sure that showers take up less water. And I find it pretty hard and stupid to try and wash my hair in a bath.
