Bath or Shower?

[Unknown Entity]

I thought of this topic yesterday after talking about it on MSN with a friend - please don't ask how we brought it up, because I don't really... know.

Do you prefer having a bath or a shower?

Personally, I hate baths. There is just something about laying in water, which is full of your bodys dirt all around me that I find really unhygeinic. Scrubbing in your own filth, is another way I'd put it. Also, I don't know if it is just me, but I tend to feel very claustraphobic in a bath - all the steam and smells and stuff. The smells are great and relaxing, but they are just too much with the steam. And to be honest, I can't be arsed waiting around for the tub to fill. ^^;;

I love a shower. They are pretty quick too - I'm in and out in about 5-10mins. Yeah, your skin doesn't get a soak andcan become dry pretty quick, but thats where after shower care comes in. I also feel cleaner when I get out of a shower - because the dirt runs off of you and down the plug hole, and can never be seen again. More hygeinic.

Heh, OCD alert! XD

Also, how often do you grab a bath/shower?

Every single morning before I leave the house, even if I'm running late. Besides, I don't take that long in the bathroom anyway. Also, mainly in the summer when it gets warmer, I like to grab another one before I go to bed. It helps me sleep better.

I prefer showers just because if I get into a bath, I don't really feel like doing anything other than splashing around a bit, then draining the tub and then take a shower. I haven't taken a bath in years because of that, and the reasons Unknown Entity gave. It's kind of gross sitting in water that's full of the nice little germs you've accumulated throughout the day, then using that same dirty water to rinse your dirty little self off with. Showers are just easier for me because I don't like to spend more than ten minutes in the tub, and baths are a waste of time.

Another plus about taking showers is that the water is running while you're naked, so no one thinks that the room is EMPTY and barges it. It's happened, and my cousin will never stop making fun of me.

Also, how often do you grab a bath/shower?
Showering every morning is nice. Even though I don't really care about germs, I don't appreciate feeling sticky or knowing that I haven't showered as it's a little act of kindness for the people that are always around me. It would probably be gross, and no one likes dirty people. They smell. =D

[Kilala]

Hmmm *Ponders over the choice*.... ^_^!
Bath. I would choice a bath out of preference... I mean think about it.. It's been a long day. You're all tense... probably in a huff... What should you do? I know! Run yourself a soothing warm bath. Mmmm put on some soft serenading music... some bath salts maybe... Nothing beats that! And ooooomg. If you have some Lush products near you... where better to use them than in the bath!? ^______^

I have a bath every night to unwind :3 I also have the obsession with using all my Lush soaps and stuff... the smell is just so <33333333
But I also have a quick shower after I do my work out on the bike or treadmill. So 5 days a week a light shower is included with the baths =^^=

I'm not a (total) eco-freak, but I like to use showers because they use less water (if they're short, anyway). Plus, all of the dirty junk that was on you before goes down a drain, not staying with you. Plus, with running water, you can wash yourself by standing (I use soap too though). I guess I could live with baths, but I prefer something more convenient and fast-paced.

[Neo Nagisa]

For me, DEFINITELY a shower. I mean come on. With a bath, you sit in your own filthy sweat and dirt and God knows what else, and when your done washing you sit back down or w.e and all that dirty sweaty filthy bleh is back on your skin.

With a shower, all the sweat and dirt drips to the floor and down the drain. It is all washed away from head to toe never to be seen by humans again. And showers make me feel manlier.. >->;;

[Neo Necron]

I'm a shower man myself, though I actually prefer baths. I just can't be bothered to wait for the bath to fill. It's been awhile since I had a bath, come to think of it. Maybe I will have one soon ^_^

I usually have a shower every day. Sometimes I have two if I do a workout or go for a run in the afternoon and I want a wash afterwards, which I always do.

[Dr_Flea]

Im a shower guy personnaly!!

Becasue i live a preety busy life i don't have time for baths so it's gennerally a quick five minuite shower and im out.

Also with the water restrictions here in aus it's better to have showers rather than baths to save on water!!

It's all about the shower. Like most everyone else, I'm not a fan of the idea of sitting in a tub of my own filth. It's not even a relaxing concept to me. I'd much rather take a beer into the shower with me after a long day and just enjoy the hot shower and cold refreshment of beer. Plus I like my showers to be short. I go in, get clean and get out.

[RamesesII]

Just a bit of history for you , if you have heard of the saying 'Don't lose the baby in the bath' its because back in the days when hot water and baths were rare the tub would be filled up with water and then the Man of the house would have the nice warm water then the sons then the mother daughters and then baby and by the time it was the babies turn the water was that dirty that you could literally lose the baby in the water.

I prefer a shower because it is quicker especially on a week night i can just hop in and then hop out, but i do like a nice relaxing bubble bath extra hot just to ease my aching muscles.

[Yesha]

I reaLLy prefer having showers.. since I don't have time to wait for the tub to be fiLLed.. and etc. but having a bath is reLaxing too.. especiaLLy on weekends.. when you don't have much work to do.. :-)

[Storm]

Do you prefer having a bath or a shower?
Baths because i'm a lazy bitch and I love wallowing in my own filth! I don't personally see it as unhygentic as theres lots of water and bubble bath. I also don't think my body ever gets that dirty, with the exception of having a week at a festival. I love relaxing in water though, its very therapeutic.

Also, how often do you grab a bath/shower?
Once every 2 days normally, although when it gets hot its every day. I wash my hair every other day though.

Well I'm going to have to say showers...I find it better since you're not sitting down and bathing in water that contains whatever you were doing that whole day....and showers relax me for some odd reason =]
Also, how often do you grab a bath/shower?
I shower usually everyday makes me feel squeacky clean...

[Polk]

Do you prefer having a bath or a shower?

I like showers. Like others said, I don't like the concept of swimming in my own filth. Though if I really want a bath, I'm going to Scrooge McDuck that shit. I cash my check and get pieces of gold. Then I dive in it and swim around.

You all should try it. Totally worth the bruises.

Also, how often do you grab a bath/shower?

Once a day. I need to smell good for the ladies. Right ladies? Yeah, you know. SOMEBODY SMELL ME!

Do you prefer having a bath or a shower?
It doesn't matter to me one way or the other, just so long as I get clean from it.

Also, how often do you grab a bath/shower?
Once a day.

[Violet]

Do you prefer having a bath or a shower?
I like having both. When I need to relax, I would use the bath. If I'm in a hurry, I'd use the shower. I favor baths, but sadly, my house doesn't have a big enough one to lay in.. so I just use the shower every day.

Also, how often do you grab a bath/shower?
Every two days. I am still clean the second day from my showers. Besides, they say that showering too much can dry out your skin/hair.

[Sinin]

I'm a shower guy. I actually tried to take a bath not too long ago and found out I'm too big for it (6'1" TwT)

I take a shower ever day but sometimes on the weekend if I don't have anything to do or places to go I don't take one....

[anis_lyner]

I love to hve bath than shower....it makes me clean more than just a shower...

[Sinister]

I love baths. They're deep and contemplative. Easy to meditate in. Let me put it to you this way... I bet you've never drawn a bubble bath, lit incense, fixed two stout mojitos, set up your iPod with a speaker phone and cracked six green light sticks, threw them into the bathtub which lights the water up like a spotlight and then made love to your girlfriend in that setting. Have you not done that? Well I have, and you just can't do that with a shower.


But I admit, I save baths for in the evening and wake up with showers. And for you nay-sayers about baths. Have you ever tried standing up, turning the shower on and then washing off before getting out of the tub? Baths are for soaking tired, restless or weary muscles and minds. To get clean, just hit the shower when you're done.


And I shower each day and bathe each day.

Showers. Nice and hot and usually about 5-10 minutes long. Quick and easy and very relaxing. Besides the fact that I'm really tall and can't fit very well in a bath tub... I just don't like sitting there in one. I always have soap on me still, or some other shit... bah. I hate baths, and I'm fairly sure my showers use less water.

Also, how often do you grab a bath/shower?
Daily, at least, sometimes twice. I always feel gross if I haven't gotten a shower. Every morning (unless I showered before bed) my hair and face are oily and, if it's summer, I've probably been sweating in the night at least a bit so I probably smell none too fresh.

[Calvan]

I prefer to take showers for the sake of getting right back to work.

I get a shower before i leave the house, Before i have company, And if not that then every morning.

[~FANTASY-ENDER~]

Do you prefer having a bath or a shower?

For me I prefer a shower reason is because I'm too busy with my life to sit in a tub all day, and second I seems too childish to me.

Also, how often do you grab a bath/shower?

I shower twice a day I can't stand being smelly, and also I'm a pretty clean person, thanks to my uprising.

[Elyon Seraphim]

Oh man! I say LONG BATHS! I love a nice long bath! feels soooo good... i may even take a nap while im there lol...! About the shower i hate those!! takes time for me even to take a shower! The longest time i've been in a shower: 35 Minutes!

[winterborn86]

I prefer a bath, I like to lay back and soak for awhile then I do all my cleaning and shaving and whatever, I do it after my rest so Im not laying in hair and dirt for to long. But at the moment I'm hating baths cos it's not easy to lay back and enjoy when you have a great big bump sticking out of you, it's akward sitting back up and I feel like I don't have as much room as I use to, plus trying to shave your legs is a total pain in the ass when you can't bend lol.

I do a bath whenever I can, I can only have em in the eves when my daughter has gone to bed, but if matt wants one when he wake up in the eve he uses up all the ht water and I can't one or if I've used the water alot during the day for washing and cleaning there isint much left at the end of the day either. I have an old boiler so you have to heat the water for an hour before you use it and the boiler only ever seems to hold just enough water for half a bath full. So it varies day to day whether I can have one or not. We are planning on getting a shower fitted, that way the water will lat longer and Matt prefers showers anyway.

[RagnaToad]

Showers, definitely.

I'm not saying I can't enjoy a long, hot bath in the winter, but to make me feel clean again, I just take a shower, not too hot.

I don't like the fact that you're soaking in your own dirt, when you take a bath when you're really dirty (no inuendo intended). Showers are almost massaging your skin with their streams of water and are easy to wash your hair in.

I also prefer showers because they use not nearly the amount of DRINKABLE (!!!) water a bath would use.

But then again, I'm a guy who almost never uses body shampoos and only now and then hair shampoos, in order to not unnecessarily stress the environment more as it already is.
So what do I know? ^_^

[SilkAngel]

I love nice long baths when it is cold, but if I am too lazy, I just take a shower. They are fast, and you don't have to wait for the tub to fill up ^.^

[Furore]

Do you prefer having a bath or a shower?

Shower, mostly due to conveniance. Though there might be thoughts of stewing in one's own juices in the tub, I'm guessing so long as you use enough soap, the vast majority of dirt will come off and stay in the water. =D

Also, how often do you grab a bath/shower?

At least once or twice per 24 hour period. They're somewhat relaxing and clean any sweat or dirt that might accumulate. I kind of feel like a new person after a decent shower.

[ekimeinna]

Do you prefer having a bath or a shower?

well i will just prefer to have shower... coz number one the dorm where i staying don't have a bath tub lol. and then number two i always take a shower everyday! number three because i can able to clean my body thouroughly than just soaking, because in soaking i can still get the dirt came from my body than in taking a shower it will sheeew the dirt away from my body to the drain!!! i already did taking bath though.. but it's just that i am not used to it.



Also, how often do you grab a bath/shower?

like what i said i take a shower EVERYDAY!!! Should be a good habit and i feel comfty after taking it! Well since it is summer sometimes i take two times a day when it is sooo hot and busy!
