Bath time

[1imaginarygirl]

I have a nice big soaking tub in my apartment, but I've never taken a bath in it. The last house I owned had a big tub with jets, and in the 7 years I lived there, I used the tub maybe about 4 or 5 times. I see people on TV relaxing in a bubbly tub with candles and wine. It's supposed to be so relaxing, but apparently I don't know how to do it right. I have bouts of insomnia once in a while, and I always think I should take a hot bath. But I don't, cuz I get bored and the water gets cold too fast. I also feel kind of gross afterwards. I saw an article today that said the average bathtub contains 100 times more bacteria than the average trash can. Eww.

Do you enjoy taking baths? I want to enjoy it, but I just can't. What am I doing wrong? LoL!

i think i would enjoy a bath. however, due to a disability i am unable to get in and out of a tub.

I do not believe the average bathtub contains that much bacteria.  Maybe if you never clean it?  I don't know.

Everyone is different and some people like baths and some people do not.

That's an utterly disgusting thought.  Ya know those mat's people lay down to prevent slipping.  I bet there is a ton of germs and slime built up under those things.  I am one to really enjoy a bath. Oh and a heated tub with jet's is oh so comforting.  I don't light candles or have wine.  But I when I had a big tub like that I used it often.  Now I hardly ever take baths.  Just to busy.

Sure, I enjoy a nice bath now and then to relax. As for the bacteria in the tub, I think you're good if you don't drink your bath water. I'm just sayin'.  Alternatively, you could super clean it before you get in it if you're a little germophobic. The previous word is spelled both with an "o" and with an "a". Couldn't decide which one was preferable.

And either add more hot water when it gets cold or get out of the tub. Eezy peezy.

Have enough wine and you won't care about anything else

[gaylasue]

No, I never liked the thought of sitting in dirty water which is what it is after you sit down in it.

We had our master bathroom completely gutted and redone.  I wanted a better tub which I love!  I take showers every mirning, but try to make a jetted bath once a week.  I find it totally relaxing

[ghunter]

Yes, just clean it and with a bathtub like yours, I would take a bath to relax at least once a week with lots of bubble and a glass of wine.

[tjshorty]

I would so relax in that tub.  My tub is small but I still soak in it time to time.  Some times with a glass of wine.  Don't do the candles only because I don't have any. 

[pectacon]

I don't understand how a bath supposed to be relaxing. If I actually relaxed, I would slide under the water. Maybe you need a fancy tub?

That's what I'm saying. I don't know how to relax in a bath, I guess. What do you do? Just sit there and stare at the wall? I don't see what's relaxing about that. And if I have to clean it before and after, I'm no longer relaxed, so what's the point? LoL!

[singletonb]

I love baths but It takes a lot of time that I really don't have available.  I keep myself very busy.

[jkhanson]

I  don't like baths either.  I don't like just sitting in a tub of hot water.  Boring.

Showers for me.....

[fjaz1]

Showers are better as long as you don't run out of hot water
