Poll: Bathing debate! Showers or Baths?

[Scars Unseen]

Bath if water is running anywhere else in the house. Otherwise I'm constantly shifting between too cold and too hot.

 

[Vault101]

baths are for when you have some time to kill and want to relax...

...shows though are sufficient for both relaxation and hygene

Pretty much what this person said although showers are much more my preference if given the choice.

oh and baths are better for shaving youre legs

I vastly prefer to shower. I would never take a bath if I am on a schedule to be somewhere. I rarely even consider taking them. Taking the advice of people from this thread, I would probably shower before I actually start bathing, and I would probably feel compelled to reshower again after... UGH that sounds terrible. I think I took a bath like months ago, and I didn't really like it much. I just did it because I could. And showers are quite energizing in the morning, with that almost scorching water and scrubbing and such.

Bath for me.

I like a soak. Read a book and relax in the only room in the house my kids won't come in and harass me.

Baths are gross. You are sitting in a pool of your own filth. So they are acceptable for relaxing but for christsake, shower afterwards.

 

[Random Fella]

Although baths are very relaxing, for getting clean a shower is better
Because the water is running down you, removing the dirt from your body via reactions to substances on the skin
Whereas in a bath, you are sitting in that water which is dirty, so the dirt is being removed as much as in a shower it would.

Start with a bath, end with a shower. Why choose one?

 

[Shockolate]

I miss baths. All those toys, pretending they're in an arena, all fighting to the death...

I mean...uh...cleaning...yes...that...

 

[Jezzascmezza]

Shower- it's faster and more convenient.
Although, baths can be very relaxing...

 

[OriginalLadders]

Always a shower. I just don't get the appeal of stewing in your own filth for half an hour when you could rinse it away in five minutes. If I just want to relax, I'll go take a nap in my nice comfy bed.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

Shower. It's much more practical and you don't end up submerged in a cold puddle of your own filth.

 

[MetalMagpie]

Showers all the way. I haven't had a bath since I was about 8.

Showers are faster, use less water, get you cleaner, and are generally awesome.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Well I'm too long for most baths, so taking a bath isn't all that comfy for me. So that shows what I think of them.

Baths are gross. You are sitting in a pool of your own filth. So they are acceptable for relaxing but for christsake, shower afterwards.

And that, most definitely.

I like baths, but I need to soak in properly to enjoy it. Sitting in water only up to my stomach is disappointing and the rest of me just gets cold.

And, being just shy of 6 foot, Ive yet to live anywhere that has a bath big enough for that to happen. Only place Ive had a nice relaxing soak since I was a wee lad is hotels with a great big spa.

So... shower.

 

[Dogstile]

Start with a Shower, end with a bath. After all, I like my me time.

 

[MammothBlade]

I like both showers and baths. The former are quick and invigorating, the latter are relaxing. Though I only bother with showers at the moment.

 

[Philol]

Shower, it's quicker and can wake you up in a morning.

 

[zelda2fanboy]

Showers, preferably with a female friend. I didn't think I'd like that, but it turns out I did. A lot.

 

[Angry Camel]

Shower, mainly because I'm too big for my bath tub.
