In winter months or in cold weather many of us like to take bath with lukewarm water or hot water. I take bath with lukewarm water in winter months, as the normal water is icy cold and it makes me uncomfortable if I take bath with icy cold water. There are some who claim that in winter months also they take bath or shower early in the morning with normal or cold water. May be they have strong bodies and cold water does not make much affect on them.
Are you the one who prefer to take bath or shower with normal or cold water in winter months?

It means you take bath with hot/warm water and you just cannot think of taking bath with cold water. Weather generally remains cooler at your place, therefore, warm water is better for bathing.
It sounds interesting that people bath in the snow in Sweden.

@dpk262006 I said that people bath in the snow in Sweden, not in Switzerland.

Ha ha ha ha....we do not want you to die in any case, you could continue to take shower in warm water, no one will force you to go for cold shower.

@JudyEv I won't say that you are a coward or who cannot take bath with cold water are coward. It is one's choice to take bath with cold water. I won't even term it as a phobia.

@dpk262006 I am such a coward but I really hate cold showers. I wonder if it's possible to have a phobia about such a thing?

These past months since December, the weather here becomes so cold especially when it rains. When that happens, I just get a basin and fill it with hot water from airpot and put it in a pail with cold water. I just want the water to bathe not to be too hot nor too cold, just warm enough like on a normal hot day.

When the temperature is down and it is cold over there due to excessive rain, you prefer to take bath with slightly warm water and you won't take bath with cold water. It is wiser on your part not to go for cold water bath.

@SIMPLYD - I understand that your cold mornings are such that you could afford to take bath with normal or cold water. I agree with you that first two dips of water will cause discomfort, thereafter it would be a smooth sailing.

@dpk262006 Yes, when it is extremely cold I take a warm bath. But on most cold mornings, even if it's I just take a bath with the cold water. Brr!
First two dips of the water will be cold, but after that, it is so refreshing already.

Even if temperature is high and it is summer month, you take water with warm water. Do not you feel like taking bath with normal water during summer months?

It takes time for water to get warmed. One needs to switch on the geyser or immersion road at least 20 minutes before bathing. You could plan your bath accordingly.

@Hannihar You mean to say that it takes two hours before water gets warm up at your place?

Not mine dpk. 20 minutes is not long enough. I would say for two hours.

Yes, warm is better. Doctors say that temperature of water should commensurate with our body temperature, when we take bath.

I cannot take a bath with very cold water, I need to heat water and add to my bath water. If only we have a shower with cold and hot then it should be easier.

It means that you prefer to take bath with Luke warm water. Yes, if there are both hot and cold water shower is there, you preferred to take water with mixed water.

@Strawberry18 It is difficult to take bath with cold water in winters.

No winter here. But the Dec-Jan mornings are cold so we shower with warn water and I usually close off with normal temperature. Water is regulated in a short supply so no baths are allowed. Even in doing dishes we conserve water. There is no water shortages...just the distribution water lines are regulated with a valve.

I understand that there is a rationing of water and you cannot have luxury of bath, the way you like. At your place weather remains normal so you could take bath with normal water, except cold mornings of December and January months.

@Gita17112016 I understand that distribution of water is not uniform in your area, therefore, some areas get less water. As temperature goes north, you take bath with normal water.

@dpk262006 There is no rationing of water or scarcity. Just bad engineering and a spot of bad luck. My country is temperate climate, so we do bath with normal water.

Apparently there are good benefits to your skin when you take bre if shower in cold water. I prefer super hot water throughout the year whether it is hot or cold outside.

It is wiser to take bath with lukewarm water in winters, you do the right thing. Cold water does not suit everyone's body.

No way!! I can't imagine myself doing that... I will shiver in cold. 
I'd rather prefer the other way - I can tolerate having shower in hot water during sunny days.. my mother in law and my husband prefers cold water most of the times ..

I never take cold baths or showers. I only set it to cold for my face right before I get out. I will use hot water in the summer as well.

You seem to be scared of cold water, it appears as you use hot water even in summer months.
