I usually take baths but I've heard some people think baths are gross cuz they think it's gross to be in dirty water. On the other hand, some people don't think showers get you clean enough? Which do you prefer? I couldn't go without a nice bubble bath... And I wonder how can soap get dirty anyway?...LOL

I always take a shower. I sometimes will just soak in the tub but always rinse off in the shower. I feel that taking a bath that your only sitting in dirty water.

I prefer showers. Its not good for women to sit in the bathtub. The dirty water, germs and soap get in places and can cause yeast infections. Not very plesant. My children also like to shower better than a bath. They have been taking showers since they were only a few months old. It was easier to take a shower with the baby. Then everyone is clean and we had bonding time.

That is ridiculos what other says.I mean we are not taht dirty the water would turn black, no?Or did the guys who write this work on some farms?lol.Anyway I like to take bath, but I need at least 40 minutes for it to enjoy it.And I don't have that much time, or patient every day, s I would prefer shower.The bath I would usually take in the winter, to warm up my body and just relax when outside is so cold.

I am definitely a bath person. I think it is so relaxing just to be able to sit down after a hard day and relax in a hot tub of water. it's great. i rarely take a shower, even though i've been told that baths cause a lot of yeast infections in women. I don't know though...i've never had a problem with it. But, definitely a hot bath after my kids go to bed relaxs me so much.

I don't think nothing's dirty when cleaning ourselves, I guess it's just the way how we clean ourselves. I don't have bath tub here, so I only use the shower. But I make sure that I clean my body totally and rinse completely, before going out of the bathroom. I would love to take a bubble myself, if ever there's a chance I could!;)

As part of my daily routine I have a shower every morning. After my daughter goes to bed at night is when I usually have a bath so I can relax before bed. PurpleTeddyBear!

If they feel gross, they just missed out the opportunity and sensation of bathtub. They can just take a shower to soap before the bathtub and once more after it. If I had no any appointments, I will enjoy my bathtub ritual.

I take showers most of the time. Mainly because it is quicker and I always seem to be busy. But if I had the time I would love to just relax in the bath.

I have to take a bath! Only time I don't take a bath and use the shower is if I'm traveling and staying at a hotel. I don't know how well they clean the tubs and I don't want to sit in someone else's dirt. I think it's crazy not to take a bath cause your scared of your own dirt. I like to soak and have my peace time. I don't leave my house till I have my bath. I have never had a yeast infection and I can sit in the tub and relax for hours. So ... yes, BATHS FOR ME.

Baths are much more relaxing, nevertheless, I'm never really sure about how to get all the soap off when you are done. Are you supposed to get up out of the tub and take a quick rinse in the shower each time? Isn't that too much?

I love showers...For me I dont like the cocept of sitting in water that is dirty, whereas of course you can get clean enough in the shower, the water is running away not sitting around you..

I take more baths than showers. I enjoy a hot bath, when I am feeling stressed or I am very cold. For some reason, I feel rushed when taking a shower. I do not like the feeling of being rushed. I can take my time and wash all of my troubles away, when I take a bath. LOL

i generally take showers but sometimes i will take a bath (the hot water helps my knees) but a dr once told me NEVER to take baths as a woman because it can cause irritation and even infections in um well those certain areas!!

To be honest, I always have a shower. Sometimes, though, I really can't be bothered to stand up in the shower! How lazy is that! I love a bubble bath to relax and when I have a hard day at work, or I've been working out and my muscles ache. I also love baths in the Winter but it's always freezing when I get out! In the Summer, I really enjoy having a lukewarm shower! Not hot, but not cold either. I love doing things in the Summer and I always seem ot have a thousand and one things to do, so I can't wait for the bath to run! Some of my friends don't like baths and they always have a shower straight after because they don't like the fact that they have been lying in their own dirt. But, I agree, How can soap get dirty?

During the winter months I defiantly love taking long baths. It gets pretty cold in PA, so coming into a nice hot bath is always enjoyable. I usuallly take a shower everyday since i can't find time to take a long bath. Besides the fact that my 13 week old puppy loves water and would probably try to join me lol.
