Shower, Bath, or both

I prefer to have a shower. Why? Because I love the feeling of the warm to hot water cleaning me entirely. A good 15 minute shower will do for me. I sometimes, will have a 10 minute shower. I love when the water can hit my entire body. I would rather have an shower over a bath. If I take a bath, it will be when I need to unwind, or if I have sore muscles or so. That would be the only reason. If I have cramping in my Uterus from my MS, then this will be a good time to soak in a nice warm tub.

i lvoe to do both, i will usually set and soak in the bath maybe with some bubbles or bath oils, adn then when im done soaking i stand up and turn the shower on to wash..both are very refreshing but sometimes u just need that time to relax in the bath.

I love showers. I used to take only baths but now it's only showers. I like to get in and out quick (unless I'm sick then I stay in there forever), I don't like sitting in rapidly cooling dirty water and since I'm getting older it's hard for me to get up and down in the tub.

I like both of them. I tend to shower more though just because it is faster and i usually don't have time. We have a jacuzzi bath tub though so it is very nice when i do have time to lay and relax in there.

I actually don't take baths, I take an extremely hot shower everyday that lasts at least 30 minutes. I only remember taking bubble baths when I was little. I shower in the bathtub with the showerhead on top. In my basement, we have an actual vertical shower, which you can't take baths in, but we don't use that. I find my showers very stress relieving too, and refreshing.

I love having baths, but only if I've showered within the last 24 hours - I'm not quite sure why, but I never feel like I'm getting fully clean when I take a bath. Usually because baths are more time consuming I just choose to take a shower and only have a bath once a year (literally) or so. Though I love baths and have plenty of things like bath cubes and salts, I tend to avoid taking them since they use so much valuable time and I feel cleaner taking a shower, anyway.

Hi glords! I do so agree with you! I just love to take a nice long hot shower! At least a hot shower in the cool weather! In the summer I like to take a nice cool shower to wash the heat and sweat off of me! But now when the weather is getting cooler I just love taking a nice hot shower to wash the stress and everything like you said away! I sometimes will just stand under the water and let it beat down on me because it just feels so good! It is the most wonderful feeling ever! I love to be clean and there is no feeling like a nice long shower! I will sometimes take a bubble bath too. But, the I will wash the bubbles off in a hot shower!

I usually take showers more often than baths because it's refreshing and cleans all the dirt off. Baths are calm...but take a long time.

I have to agree with you--I like both baths and showers, each for different reasons. I can't start the day without having either a bath or a shower. I need to have that "just-cleaned" feeling to get going in the morning. Whenever I try to get cleaned the night before, I might save time in the morning but I end up not feeling right and it usually ends up being a very cranky day for me. On days I go to work, I always shower. It simply gets the job done faster. I can wash my hair and scrub my body in less than 10 minutes and be out the door faster. Plus, the stream of hot water is a good way to get myself fully awake. I'm not a morning person, so I need all the help I can get. Baths, on the other hand, serve an entirely different purpose for me. If I'm feeling stressed just want to pamper myself, a bath gives me a bit of luxury. I usually have them in the evening or on Sundays when I'm off work and have no immediate plans. I like to use the good bubble bath or bath salts. Then I get in and just lay there for an hour or so. Soooooooooo relaxing! I have been known to fall asleep in the tub. I like to think of it as multitasking.

I feel the same way. I like nice hot bubbly bubble baths occasionally but I usually take really hot showers even if I'm not dirty, You're right it's a great stress reliever.

I like both. Usually I take showers, they are quicker, but every now and then I also like bahts. Then its usually some nice music like il Divo, candle lights, a glass of vine..scented water, bublles,...yeah I always make a thing of it lol. So basicly showers are for everyday use, baths for taking some load off me, relaxation, enjoying...its like a meditation...same effect lol

I prefer only bath rather than shower. I love bath. Ya, it is right we can't imagine a life without a bath. I think we can't imagine a day with out bath. The normal hot water gives some thing relief to our minds. I used to bath twice in a day. If I didn't bath at least once in a day I am not able to sleep. Shower bath is so nice for head bath. I feel so free when I take bath. Happy to sharing your views. Happy myLotting.

Hello, me too, I can't imagine life without bath. It's the best thing to do, since I am at work for more than 8hours and bath serves as one of the greatest gift for yourself each day. You could surely give yourself more than one gift a day. lol
