Bath vs. Shower

[che]

Showers are way better than baths, unless it's a hot tub. That's good relaxation. Baths make me feel like I'm bathing in my own filth for no reason. Water gets cold as **** way too fast, **** all that.

Not if you shower before or after it. In which case if ppl dont, thats nasty.

A bath is nice if you're not really dirty or anything, you just want to relax. And then bubble baths are awesome.

Im sure everyone can do with a good soak now and then.

Bathing yourself before or after bathing yourself makes no sense.

I take showers because they're quicker, and because bath water gets cold way too fast. If I do take a bath, however, it would most likely only be if I'm sick, which I never am, so I never take baths. Also, if I do take a bath, I don't bathe myself before or after taking a bath. I bathe myself while in the bath, because otherwise it would defeat the purpose of taking a bath.

Take a shower when you want to get clean. Baths should be taken to relax and I feel more rejuvenated after a nice scented bubble bath. Even if you don't feel grimy, you are building up germs and flaking off dead skin cells all the time, so avoid hopping into the bath right away. Instead, I take a quick shower first and lather up and rinse off to wash away all those germs that you don't want to have in your bath water. Then I take my bath. You will be clean and your bath water will stay clean so you can relax and be germ free when you get out. Altho ppl would do a quick rinse afterwards for peace of mind. Showers are too quick whereas baths I feel like im indulging feels/looks like heavenqueen.jpg Also taking a bubble bath just before bed helps me sleep better.

That still doesn't make sense to me. Bath water is hot, and you use soap to bathe. The easiest way to get rid of germs and bacteria is to wash with hot water and soap. In other words, after you soap yourself up while taking a bath, you may be sitting in a tub filled with your own grime, but all of your grime is dead.

And baths are for bathing, not relaxing. That's why it's called a bathtub, and not a relaxtub.

Bath water should be warm.. I shower like I normally would whether Ive decided to take a bath afterwards or not. Once Im done showering, the 'filth' goes right down the drain taking into account that I have a stand-in shower and my bathtub is seperate.

Both methods not only cleanse but help you relax and ease pain. But with bathing you can add in oils, salts, bubbles for a more luxurious experience than with a shower.

Bathing and relaxing fortunately go hand in hand.

If you take a shower before taking a bath, and then add oils and salts to the bath, you'll have to take a shower after the bath to wash off the oils and salts. How the hell do you have enough hot water to bathe three times, back to back to back?

Also, your water bill must be huge. Like, three times that of a normal person who bathes once, instead of bathing before bathing, and then bathing after bathing.
