Hello Pinoys: Do you still use a tabo (dipper) and pail when taking a bath?

In the Philippines, one thing that you will never miss when looking at their toilets are the pails and dippers (timba at tabo). Even if they migrate to other countries and intermarry with other races, some say, these are still found in the bathroom. Well, it does help conserve water. We use this too, it's efficient. So do you still use this, or do you just shower?

Well the only time(s) i use the shower is when i'm in a hotel/motel. The rest of my life, i am/was using the dipper. I'm pretty much as expert in using it that i can pour it on my body with eyes closed. lol! Just kidding! Yeah, it does conserve a lot of water and i think it's pretty much convenient because you can just grab a dipper full of water when washing your face. Using the shower to wash the face could consumde 3x the water in the dipper i think. Just my estimate.
