Title: Bath or shower
Post by: Nancy5 on June 16, 2017, 05:50:18 am
Do you take a bath or shower?  I have a jacuzzi in my one bathroom so I take showers everyday, but once in awhile I'll go in the jacuzzi, fill it with scented body wash and turn on jets and just relax.

It depends on the mood I'm in and whether or not I have to wash my hair. Most of the time I take showers. I do have to soak my feet and calves every so often since they get so sore so a bath is nice. I find I take more baths during the colder months.

Strictly showers... I have a nice rain shower so it's kind of nice :)

I have a big roman tub in the master bath, but it never gets used anymore, my kids used to like it in their younger days, now it just adds resale value to the house, but totally wasted.

Showers for me. I have a hard time getting up and out of a bath with my hip, so am always  afraid I will slip and fall.

I use to love to soak in my garden tub, but the last time I got in I had a hard time getting out because of arthritis in both knees.  I fell in the tub so now I'm scared to get back in, so I only take showers now.

I don't have time for baths anymore and to cut down on water usage even though we're not in a drought, I leave the bathing to my wife.

Only shower because I do not have a tub that I can get into or out of which is unfortunate because I think a nice warm bubble bath would be relaxing and comforting to my muscles.  Oh well we do what we can with what we have right?

Strictly showers for me. If I used the tub, I wouldn't be able to sit in it or get out of it with my knee. Even before my problem, I liked showers. They are quicker, use less water, and make me feel cleaner.

I prefer showering. I know a lot of people say taking a bath is relaxing but I don't have time for it and I hate how the water gets all soapy.

I take showers - haven't taken a bath in years!  It's easier to wash my hair , plus as I am older, it is easier than stepping in and out of a tub.

shower most days.  Baths if I need alone time and my body is sore.

I like both, for the same reasons that most people gave. Showers are quick and I shower when I want to wash my hair.

Baths are so relaxing that they're good before bed to help you sleep.

Plus a nice hot bath can soothe your aching muscles, especially if you use Epsom Salts in the water. And baking soda in the water will soften your skin and help keep the tub from forming a dirty ring.  :)

Showers are 100% better. I just want to get clean and get on with my day. Every bath tub I've ever been in you have to exert constant effort to keep yourself from sliding under so how is it relaxing?

I use to love to get in a hot tub of water but over five years ago I had a knee replacement and nearly 2 years I fell and broke my femus bone and have a rod in that leg now.  I have to take a pan bath because I can not get my legs up over the tub to take a shower.  I wish I had the money to have a walk in tub.  But that is never going to happen.  Hope everyone has a good day and may God bless each of you and keep you safe. :)

This is the same with me.  A long soak some times is fabulous, for all the aches and pains and to just relax.

Shower.  I never liked the thought of sitting in dirty water which is what it is after you put your dirty body in it.

I take shower because it is faster for me. But only in winter time that I get in a tub and soak my body so I can loose all that muscle and tension from work. Helps with soreness too.

It depends on if I want to get clean or relax.  If I just want to get clean I feel better with a shower.  The dirt runs off the body rather than you sitting and having it float around you.  If I just want to relax, ease muscle tention then I take a bath (preferable lavender or jasmine bubble).
