Title: BATH OR SHOWER? And for how long?
Post by: florezitta10 on October 30, 2009, 01:38:19 pm
I at this time don't have an option so i only take showers. (we only have a shower no tub) and i'd say i spend maybe 10 mins in the shower all together from the time i walk in to the time i leave the bathroom. I have been seeing a lot of ads for water shortage in my state idk about everyone else but we have a serious problem :(. :sad1:

I haven't taken a bath since I was a baby. So, I take showers for about 5-10 minutes.

Most of the time I am in a hurry and just take a shower. I have been know to take a long hot bubble bath when I have worked out too much or if I am not feeling well.

I always take a shower.  If I'm in a hurry I'll take a 10 minute bath.  Normal shower time for me is 20 minutes.  If I want to relax I take a shower for about 40 minutes.

I have a spa tub that takes forever to fill and kills the water heater so I take showers...really long showers.  I generally take about 20 min to shower, my family has always made fun of me for it, but I dont care, I have really thick hair and like to be clean  ;D

I take really long showers because I love water. In the summer when the rains are warm, I can be in them all day. No idea why, always been that way.

I prefer a bath but myself but, also have no choice but to take a shower since there is no bathtub in my apartment either, and this is the first thing that I will be looking to change when I move, my son HATES to take a shower.  He is 20 months and even though I got a hand held shower-head for him that has a spray that's really soft like at the hair salon it doesn't matter to him it's horrible, but back to the question at hand I think I take about 10 to 15 minute showers.

I'm not a fan of either, really. I still wash myself, obviously, but it's inconvenient for me because I'm so tall I have to sit up in the bathtub (or assume the fetal position), and really, where's the fun in that? My height also makes it inconvenient for me to wash my hair in the shower. If I had to pick, though, I'd say baths.

 :wave: I take a shower most of the time as quickly as possible because of my water bill. I guess about 10 mins. Sometimes I like to relax and soak a little while. Thats probably 30 mins.

 :) Most of the times, I prefer showers. Once in awhile, I do my bathtub full of bubbles. Warm up and relax...I love it!

It all depends on the day and my mood...and how much time I have to waste.  A rainy day like today-- definitely a hot bath!

I usually take short showers but I have been guilty of taking a bath and then doing a quick rinse-off in the shower.  Not good conservation, I know, but I feel cleaner that way.

Both, if it is just to relax, bath.  If i really need to get clean, then  shower.  Sometimes, if I am dirty and want a bath, I take a quick shower.  Baths are easily  an hour long, maybe longer.  That is "me time" and the only time I get to  myself, so I don't feel the need to rush it.

I enjoy both but rarely have time to take a bath. I have to admit my showers are a good 45 min. to an hour. ;D

Definitely prefer showers over taking a bath.  I feel much more clean taking a shower.  My average shower takes about 15-20 minutes.  However, I never let the water run continuously.  It gets shut off for hair lathering and body lathering.  Unless I'm rinsing something, the water is off.  We need to conserve every little we can.  Plus, we have city water, so unless it's being used to rinse, it's literally money being sucked down the drain.

But, I DO enjoy the occasional bath.  We have a whirlpool tub.  Every now and then laying back and having the eight jets do their thing is great.

I prefer showers rather than baths. It usually lasts between 10 and 15 minutes.  I feel cleaner taking a shower.  You are constantly sitting in dirty water while taking a bath.

Ever since I was an infant, I've taken baths. When I moved to another abode in my teen years, there was no bath tub but a shower. I've gotten used to showers ever since. The whole process for me from showering to drying up and getting dressed takes about 1/2 an hour.  ;)

I prefer a shower and a fast one too!  There's no point in just sitting in the tub for about an hour.  I tried that once.  I got super bored and I was fumbling with my thumbs for quite a while.  I prefer a 5 minute shower.  It's faster and I can get back to Fusioncash and try to get more referrals.
