hi all! almost everyone in the whole world takes a bath. this is a requirement both for sanitation and for good manners, most of the time. and since each society around the world results in different cultures, there are various ways with which you could take a bath. in some cases, communal bathing is possible. in some cases, private bathing is the norm. in some cases, people like to bathe using a shower head. and in some cases, people like relaxing in a bathtub. aside from cleaning yourself, bathing offers a chance for us to relax and cleanse our minds as well. and because of these additional benefits, we need to choose the best way to bathe for us to enjoy the experience and relax. so, here's my question... would you prefer a shower or relaxing in a bathtub? in my case, i still like bathing using a shower head. the feeling of soapy water in a bathtub makes me feel uncomfortable because i wanna rinse it as soon as possible. even though i'm standing up while using the shower to bathe, i can still say that i can relax because my mind is at ease and i'm appreciating the wonderful feeling of a bath. how about you guys? thanks and happy mylotting!

Hi, mazdakid. I prefer to take a shower. I want to feel the water run all over my body, especially if my skin is itching or if I have sore muscles. I also like to wash up when it is very hot during the summer, especially after I have walked the track. I only bathe when I am shaving or when I am soaking my body because I don't feel so good. I do give my kids a bath. My son will take a bath then he will take a two minute shower to rinse the suds off. My daughters will wash by tub.

I prefer shower especially if I want to feel my body really clean. I like the feel of water running through my body, it's just so refreshing. Bath tubs on the other hand are way too relaxing so it's appropriate if you're just spending the weekends at home.

i don;t like to do shower or bath in tub. from my childhood days i used to do bath with a bucketful of water. i like this only because i can do any much time by soaping when sitting on stool .and takes water from bucket. this type we do in india .there will be no wastage of water like in shower or bath tub. but in winter season , i prefer to take 2,3 buckets of hot water to bath.this will reveal me from cold.

It has been a long time since I have been able to take a bath...eeewww no I shower!! I can't get in or out easily because of some limitations of my joints.. I do miss it but I don't miss sitting in dirty water either. i use to sit and soak, then shower wash and rinse... I know those sit and soak times were very pleasing to the senses exspecially if you add nuances.. like candles and bath salts...
