well i am using cold water mostly for bath except some very cold days where i cant afford to use it.........but in winter i guess most of the guys here must be using warm water but not too hot water and i am also using warm water in winter because its more comfortable to bath with warm water than cold one in cold weather conditions.......

In the summer I shower in cold water, helps to cool me down - my apartment does not have air conditioning. In the winter i shower using hot water - I work outside in very cold temps and I think I'd turn into a block of ice if I didn't get to come home and warm up in the hot water!

When I'm taking a bath, I like to have a nice warm bath. There's nothing like a nice warm bath, even on a hot day. It makes you feel better, and alot cooler. Sometimes I take luke warm baths, but it just depends on how I'm feeling at the time.

hi jagjit, thanks for the response,you are also just like me using regular water,neither we use geyser nor heater for heating water,we use water as itself means regular water even in winter also since 4 years,but it is some difficulty in using the water in winter season,but we are accustomed to use just like that,have a nice day

Since I was a child I have always had a preference for hot water baths, no matter what the climate is. After a hot water bath, I not only feel refreshed but also it reduces all the aches and pains of my body. Now that I have gone older, I still take hot water bath. If by chance I have to take a cold water bath, then I prefer to take a sponge bath. I just cant think of cold water in contact with my body. As it is, my body temperature is higher than normal, so the impacat is shocking

I use warm water but I have been using very hot water. I like hot water now more than I did when I was younger. If it is hot outside I will use cold water to be honest I feel that with the humidity I need the coolness on me. Take care and I hope I answered your question:) Happy mylotting.

I always bath with hot water regardless of weather conditions. I can't stand bathing with cold water as I feel like I haven't removed any dirt from my body.

I really can't bathe in cold water, bathing in cold water is painful for me. I always use warm water... the hotter it is, the better. I don't know why this is so. Wherever I go for holiday, the first thing I ask is whether they have hot water shower or not. I rather not bathe than bathing in cold water. So playing in the river is not my favorite thing to do.

In the summer or after I get back from working out I tend to use cold water to cool me down because nothing is worse than feeling hot and icky once you get out of the shower because that's how the environment is. In the winter I tend to use warm water unless I'm trying to relax and taking and bubble bath because at that point I'll make the water sorta hot to loosen my muscles.

i prefer using warm water to take shower. i think cold water is just for very strong people, i don't think i'm strong enough for it. using cold water is like give yourself punishment. if a person can stand a cold water bath for long period he or she must be a very strong in mind and phasycally both.

In my country the weather is hot through out the whole year, we have no winter at all. But I have practice to take my bath with water heater. I could not stand the cold tap water. even it is hot weather, I still prefer to have a bath with water heater. I like warm and hot more than cold.
