I'm 6'4" and I can say that I haven't taken a bath, in a tub, in years. I always have to take a shower. I have a 50" chest/shoulder measurement and it just isn't comfy scrunching into a little tiny tub...

Have you tried one of those big deep garden tubs? The width would not be a problem...but you would probably still have to bend you knees. However, it is so deep, that your legs would still be in the water. Ok...wait...I don't have that long of legs....wow...6'4"...hmmm...try sitting in one first. Home Depot normally have displays. :) I dare ya. Climb into a tub to try it out for size. ha ha I'd do it! :)

Oh I love those claw foot tubs!!! I remember sitting in one of those as a kid...and I literally could swim in it. Of course, not like one would in a pool. But I would dunk under and swim back and forth from one end to another. I mentioned that I was super tiny as a kid too, didn't I? LOL

See my wife and i aren't shy enough to have a problem doing that. When we go on the bathtub hunt they'll probably get an eyeful of us both climbing in and out of it. the closest we've come since our honeymoon finding a bath tub we liked was our old apartment with the claw foot. But even then, we had to block the overfill drain or it still only came to our knees. LOL ah...i love bathtubs that are deep enough and long enough!

I am 5'11....Oh, ALLRIGHT, 6' I have not taken a bath in years, but know I would never be able to lay all the way down. How about those hotel showers that come up to your bellybutton!!! Almost every time I go to the supermarket, little old ladies ask me to get something off the top shelf. (Of course I don't mind) But, if my height is my biggest problem today, that's fine by me. :)

True there are a lot other problems that are worse than being tall but think about how nice it wpld be to have a bath tub that even us tall people can lie down in. .oO(big bath tubs mmmmmm) I have been contemplating getting a hot tub but I don't think shampoo and comditioner will react well in one.

That would be almost as enjoyable but I still think that having a tub long enough for people our stature would br more relaxing. The last time I fond a tub large enough was on my wife's and I's honeymoon. THAT tub was awesome!

Nope! I do not have this problem at all. ha ha ha ha I am a whole 5ft 3in and a tiny thing! I have a garden tub and I can practically swim in that thing! LOL Heck, I am small enough that my partner and I can sit side by side in it together! Funny thing is...a long time ago I was helping a friend find a house to buy. She, like me, feels the bath tub is important. So, the person that was showing us around had to get used to us running to the bathroom and jumping into the tub together just to see if we would both fit together. ha ha

LOL that's funny. although i bet they've probably seen stranger. No, when we buy a house we're probably going to renovate the tub first. My wife is about 6 foot also, and the hotel we stayed in on our honey moon fit both of us. I might have to go back to that hotel and steal the tub. think they would notice? LOL

LOL my wife would envy you. She likes to wear heels, but as she's already about 6 feet tall, anything other than normal shoes makes her taller than me, and she hates that. Now if it's just her going out with friends, she'll wear heels, and then she's REALLY taller than everyone else. LOL but i love her, and i never have problems finding her.

I'm 170 cm tall. It's about 5.57 f. Frankly speaking, I've always felt I'm a bit too tall, as many of my boyfriends were of my height or just a bit higher than me. I couldn't afford myself to wear high-heeled shoes! My hubby is 186 cm tall, so I feel lucky at last. :)

You should probably enjoy your height. My wife is almost 6 feet tall, and i'm just a little over 6 feet. most the time she doesn't even think about her height anymore, but once in a while she feels extremely out of place. Especially when she wear heels and 3/4 of this state only come to her shoulder to begin with. I love her, tall or short. But she's striking to me at that height, and easy to find when i'm looking for her.

my soon to be ex-wife is about your height and she loves taking bath's. She can fill the tub up and almost completely submerge herself, and stretch out...
