How long do you take a bath? I usually take around 10-15 minutes. They get amaze because it takes me only a short time considering I am a girl. I leave early for work so I really make it sure to manage my time. I skip using whitening soap because I had to let it stay on my skin for two minutes. I do only the basics, shampoo conditioner and soap. How about you guys how long do you take a bath?

Wow! I admire your speed inside the bathroom. Me, no one wants to be next to me when taking a bath. They'll do their best and even make alibis just so they can use tha bathroom before I do. It usually takes me more than thirty minutes to finish my bath. Then I still have to brush my teeth, put on lotion almost on my whole body and then try to tidy up everything inside the bathroom, so sometimes it takes me more than an hour to finally finish everything. When I'm really in a hurry, I can spend twenty minutes the fastest, without tidying up the bathroom. I remember when we had our first team celebration in Boracay and my office mates were still unaware of my bathroom habit. They let me use the bathroom first but after about thirty minutes I can already hear one of them asking if I'm still not done. I didn't know what to do and I panicked so I said I am having an upset stomach. After another fifteen minutes, they were already banging the door and when I was done and finally opened the door, they all met me with evil stares I can never forget. That night while we were drinking tequila and having fun, I made my confession that I really take long inside the bathroom and much as I'd like to, I really lose consciousness of the time and forget how long I've been inside before I am through. Of course their anger already subsided at that time and we all just laughed at what happened. I promised them that I will let all of them finish first before I take my turn next time because I don't take much time applying make-up. I just put on some powder and lipstick and I'm done. When we're not going to attend anything, I just use powder on my face. At least that compensates the time I spend bathing. =)

I always need to be in a hurry because we have to leave early to anticipate the traffic. That's why I don't have the luxury to stay longer in the shower.

I agree about 10-15 depends how fast I get done or how hot the water is at the time. I don't stay in long as the kids get into too much mischief while one is occupied. Hubby though will sit in one for an hour just chill'n watching the day go by.

Hi, I also take only 10-15 minutes to take bath. This is enough for everyone. But some people spend more time because they like to remain in water for long hour.

It all depends on the details. When I have nothing to do or I am too tired, I always take a long time to have a bath, about one or two hours. But when I am busy, I will only take about 15minutes.

I swear I can be fast and take ten minutes but end up at half an hour which I can speed to 25 minutes in the morning. I can sit there for hours especially when I was nursing my baby and she nursed best in the warmth of a bathe or after I bathed and it brought my milk out to nurse. I would bathe every hour or stay for two hurs at a time, pruning up and watching a movie. If its shaving or washing hair it will take like 45 minutes if my eldest is at school and my youngest is napping, that is my me time:) I bathe my daughter at age two now for a quick ten minutes if I bathe her hair a little longer so she can play in the bubbles and with her toys. I wash my eldest hair so she can do it well and hurry because she can be there an hour and not do anything but play. It really depends on who it is, age and if hair washing is needed etc.

I have a really huge bath which takes 20 minutes to fill up, so I only ever have one if I have a lot of time to spare. If I do have a bath, I will spend around an hour in it. I sometimes use that time to chat to a friend who I need to catch up with, and I will put the phone on hands free on the washing basket so that it won't get wet. If I don't have anyone who I need to talk to, I will take a good book in there instead and have a bit of a read. I don't often get that amount of time to myself to spare, so when I do, I like to make the most of it.

When I take a bath it's the only time I get some alone time since I'm always a busy mommy or wife. So I try to take on as long as I can. Normally it's about 15 to 30 minutes long. I normally wash myself, do my hair, shave if it's need and then just sit back for a few minutes to relax in the hot water. Right now I"m pregnant so it's nice to just relax and give my achy body a break.

During hot weather I take a bath for 30 to 1 hours to refresh my body and feel cool. But during rainy season usually it only took 20 to 30 minutes because its too cold and not good for the health if I will take a bath for long. Twenty to thirty minutes i think its enough for me for scrubbing, shampoo, conditioner and soap.

It depends on the situation, if you are leaving in a cold place. Surely, the fastest way to take a bath.

I take 30-45 mins including running it. It takes me 20 mins to wash and condition my hair, then ages again to dry and straighten it.

Hello- for a fast moving person 15 minutes is enough, me? first I apply my whitening soap, brush , then do the basics. Then another 15 to 30 minutes for make up. Luckily, we don't have traffic here so a one hour preparation for a 9:00am work is enough.

It depends on my time schecule. If Im not in hurry i can take up to 20 minutes doing all body care like scrubbing, brushing teeth, and washing my hair. If Im in hurry I can take 10 minutes only without washing my hair.

It depends, but I usually like having long baths. Like half an hour long. Because I love just sitting in a warm bath and relaxing. One hour, if I'm washing hair, too (mine is pretty long). I don't really use too many products, just a nice shower gel and shampoo, and maybe I shave my legs while I'm there.
