I personally prefer to shower as it is quicker. I do have a bath on the odd occassion but very rarely. I get in there and after about 5 minutes I think now what? I don't like the thought of laying around in my own dirt!! LOL I give my kids a shower during the week and they have a bath always on a Sunday night before school the next day. I always say that it cleans out all their little nooks and crannys and removes the dirt from their fingernails but I always shower them down afterwards and wash their hair.

So what do you prefer, a shower or bath?

I'm a lot like you in a way that I rarely take bath... I prefer taking showers because it's more convinient... My daughter takes bath every night... My girl friend is little bit of both, she takes bubble bath 3 - 4 times a month...


myLot reputation of 99/100. Humbug25 (1590)   ranked 140 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

Hi ya sk66rc

If ever I do take a bath it is because I really want to relax but even then I've really got to feel like taking one!!

Thank you for your response

I take showers and hardly ever have time for a bath. Kids will do that to you, lol. I like a bath because it's so relaxing. If I do get the chance, I take a good book with me and read it. I like that a bath really soaks and softens the skin. The nook and cranny thing is not that far off. When I scrub myself thoroughly at the end, I feel more dirt came off than just in a shower. I actually feel cleaner. But yes, you have to shower off to finish or you take some dirt back out with you;)


myLot reputation of 99/100. Humbug25 (1590)   ranked 140 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

Hi there jonesy123

I wouldn't take a book in with me because I would be afraid I drop it in the water! LOL I also don't like feeling all pruney! LOL

Thank you for responding

Its a shower for me when I'm in a hurry, otherwise its always a bath. the longer the better. In fact looking forward to having one once I reach home.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Humbug25 (1590)   ranked 140 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

Hello alokn99

What's the longest you have stayed in a bath for?

Thanks for the response


myLot reputation of 96/100. alokn99 (1700)   ranked 295 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

One Hour, once when I was mucky and tired and just went about lazily having a bath. Enjoyed it thoroughly.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Humbug25 (1590)   ranked 140 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

Blimey that is a long time you must have been really pruney by then!!

I prefer a shower any time! Its more energizing and I feel a lot cleaner!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Humbug25 (1590)   ranked 140 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

Hi ya pitstop

Yeah and you can get some really great smelly shower gels now too like grapefruit or orange that really wake you up ready to start the day.

thank you for responding


myLot reputation of 90/100. pitstop (2107)   ranked 3,929 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

I prefer something less fruity and more like cologne or musk.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Humbug25 (1590)   ranked 140 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

Citrus is very refreshing and a good 'wake me up'

Looking like a wrinkled raisin never particularly appealed to me and lying in all that dirt's not an idea I relish. I prefer a shower, it's cleaner, quicker, saves water and is refreshing, whereas a hot bath can make you feel drowsy.

Also since I was a child I've disliked getting out of baths. Oh and when they're pretty hot they make my bum go red.


myLot reputation of 89/100. aslanlight (909)   ranked 1,752 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

It must be time for bed; I read your post but the lying in the dirt bit didn't sink in so I thought I was being original! lol Goodnight.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Humbug25 (1590)   ranked 140 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

Hi 'a'

Yes I think you had better drag your sorry arse off to bed - goodnight! yawn

Oh, thanks for staying awake long enough to respond!! sleep

Last Christmas we installed a heart stoppingly expensive shower where our bath used to be. I don't miss the bath at all. I walk in. Shower and walk out. Occasionally if I am in an hotel I will have a quick soak before bed. But showers are definitely the way to go. I did once spend 5 minutes in a toilet on a camp site in France looking for the shower head! They look curiously similar to each other over there.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Humbug25 (1590)   ranked 140 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

Hi there p1kef1sh

Are you sure you weren't sitting on the bidet!!! lol

Thank you for responding!!


myLot reputation of 95/100. p1kef1sh (3076)   ranked 132 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

Shower all the way. Bath tubs are nasty. Even if you clean them I still feel like I am bathing in durty water. It does not make sense to me. It also is not recommended for women to take baths.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Humbug25 (1590)   ranked 140 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

Hi there bryanna4

Why is not recommended for women to take baths? I have never heard this!

Thank you for responding happy


bryanna4 (45)   ranked 16,963 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

Because unlike men, women are exposed down there and any bacteria in that water has easy access. Thats why doctors recommend even smaller girls not to take bubble baths because of the risk of infection.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Humbug25 (1590)   ranked 140 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

So I guess that goes for swimming in the sea then too?


bryanna4 (45)   ranked 16,963 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

no, the difference is when you are bathing in the tub, you are sitting in dirty soapy water which is not good for women. The ocean my be salty ( which is actually good for your skin) but it is also natural and is not standing water which harbors bacteria.
