I usually take showers since I'm probably looking to be in-and-out so I can be somewhere on time. I haven't had a bath in a while. I usually take baths when I was to chill out and relax a bit.

I shower, haven't taken a bath in years. They're sooo relaxing though so I really want to take one soon except the bathroom attached to my room has no tub, so I'd have to use the shared bathroom. Definitely want to have a bath this week before we leave for vacation on Friday. ;o;

Showers. For some reason baths always give me massive headaches and it's really boring. Some people read in bath but I'm always scared I'll drop my book in the water and ruin it.

I don't even understand baths, it's just soaking in your own filth. Plus I'm too tall for most tubs I've seen anyway lmao

Aww, not in years? Baths are so incredibly relaxing. In my old flat, I used to take a bath every week or so. I really miss my bathtub now ); Only have a shower. And a pretty bad one, at that.

Perhaps, haha, although I'm never really filthy enough for it to feel like that.

I used to take baths all the time when I was much younger but now I predominately have showers. I find they're more refreshing and obviously quicker, that being said I love to have a bath now and again, just to be lazy and relax :P

Welp, the only thing i have is a pail and a small water tank. I fill the water tank to full and use the pail to put the water into my face. Sounds like that .......

But, my dad got a shower and we can use it! yay.....

Um, a little bit of both? I mean, idk maybe not... see, I have one of those shower heads that turns into a hose. I can't stand on my feet a lot either (weight issues plus dyspraxia), so I sit down in the shower and bathe that way. When I was younger, I took baths because I was still young and enjoyed playing in the water. :P

Started showering a lot more, especially since I got an ensuite. Nothing beats a hot relaxing bath on occasion though.

I only take showers, never baths. For most of my life (well, except when I was a kid) it was because of a lack of a bathtub, and now, with a bathtub in my apartment, I still don't take baths because... well, I DO pay for the water... :D .

I'm seriously considering getting rid of the bathtub and replacing it with a shower cabin.

i used to take baths until that one episode of icarly where sam described taking baths as swimming in your own filth.

other than that, i've shared a bathroom my whole life and i can't even fathom what goes on while others take their showers.

I don't think I've had a bath in years - as many have pointed out, it's not really ideal for getting clean, but I can appreciate the idea of soaking in some hot water when you're already clean, just to relax. We do have a jacuzzi tub, but I think it's only been used once since moving to this house about two years ago, lol.

But yes, as far as daily hygiene goes, I find showers more practical - faster and cleaner.

I'm definitely a shower person. On rare occasions like when I have a sour stomach or my back really hurts I might fill the bathtub but I hardly even fit in my bathtub and that makes me less able to really enjoy soaking in the heat. Plus, bathwater cools down way too fast for my liking and lukewarm water makes me feel gross. I'm always having to drain a little, and put more fresh hot water in. It's really just more work than it's worth for me.

I suppose if I had a larger bathtub that could make a small difference in my enjoyment.

Shower is just a good in and out in five minutes deal for me, though. It feels great and it's so much less work.

House has a bath and no shower. I've only ever showered on holiday or the like. I'll stick to baths since showers stick one's hair to one's head, and standing to wash feels... a bit dangerous, really. Thing is though, I've never been in a bath that's big enough since not being a small child; it's not relaxing at all. I want one that goes up to my shoulders like in all the ecchi anime.
