In bathing, can you tolerate cold water(early morning)??

Of course, anyone can tolerate it if there are no other choices. I would rather take a bath than suffer the odor for not bathing. In our younger days, we usually bath in cold water in the early dawn of the day. But now that I am growing old and you grow older, we can't seem to bath in cold water. Maybe, that is just part of life and we need to accept it.

The place where i live for more than 6 months a year the weather is quite warm.So bathing in tap water isn't much of a problem.The other period of the tear we use geysers or water heaters.I enjoy it during the summer months and hotter part of the year.Our winter somewhat cool for about 2-3 months probably the only period when its difficult to bathe in cold water.

Hi Simonelee,

I seldom use warm water for bathing in the morning, I will directly use tap water.NO water heater in my 2nd floor bathroom.
So far, I still can stand it with the coldness.
After I brush my teeth and gets ready breakfast for myself and my husband, I will get a bath with cold water. It makes me feel fresher and no more sleepy for me.

I can have 3 times bath a day during hot weather. First is in the morning. Then after settle my son's breakfast+ bath + doing some house chores, I will get another bath again.
And late afternoon around 6pm, I will have my last bath.
I like to keep my body clean!! Only bathing can make me look fresher throughout the day!!

For me, i have no choice the i can tolerate cold water. I have this experienced when i was a child, my granny chased me every morning to take me to bath.
But now im happy that have a hot shower, you can control the water temperature. But the problem is,when you come out from the bathroom, it's freezing cold

When i was still a teacher it was so difficult for me to wake up very early in the morning... so i use cold water when taking a bath because that would surely energize me... if i use warm water... that would just make me more sleepy...

Now that i don't need to wake up very early to go to work... i still don't use warm water because the temperature is already hot when i wake up... and the best way to feel fresh is to use cold water...

Cold water for bathing is okay with me specially for hot summer days. Well I did bathe with cold waters too when i was still a kid. Because here in our country we don't usually use heater that is due to our weather. But right now we are experiencing cold weather its raining every now and then so I don't like cold waters for bathing. LOL. But I might still take a shower with it because I like to feel the chill and freeze a little sometimes.:)

I also dont like cold bath in the morning but i think i would be ok with warm water because we also have heaters in our shower. I think the reason why lots of people dont like taking cold bath in the morning after waking up is because our body temperature when we wake up is still warm and our body has to adjust to the sudden change of cold temperature of the shower which usually causes my heart to beat faster and i would shiver from the coldness of the shower and i would usually catch a cold. hehe. I actually heard from some people that its not healthy having cold showers in the morning after waking up although im not sure of the reason why they said so.

we don't have a water heater in our house, so whenever I have to take a bath early in the morning and it's really cold, I usually try to move a lot while under the shower, and sometimes I jump... I think it makes the feeling of coldness go away. hehehe.. anyway, usually it's only the first few minutes that feels like hell, and then after that it would feel normal again.

Living in a temperate hot and humid place, I welcome cold water since it refreshes me especially if I wake up sweating.

Depends on how cold the water is, if it's nearly freezing outside, then your water temperature might be 10 degrees (without a heater) - that is icy. I cannot even wash my hands for a long time with this water temperature. 20 degrees is bearable but for this it will really be a quickie for me. No lingering in the shower and definitely not a bath (might be good for swimming since you are moving...).
