Shower or Bath?

[Au Naturel]

A remote hotspring certainly has a place in my heart. Jacuzzis are nice, too. Neither one serves the purpose of getting clean, just relaxed. I can't think of any person-to-person disease transmitted through a properly maintained jacuzzi or hot spring with water flow. The presence of other bodies doesn't bother me.

Showering is just so much quicker than baths, so I just shower.

(That and the fact that our bathtub needs replacing and hasn't worked for years plays a part in it tbh)

Showers are quicker than baths - and showers do a better job with bathing than baths.

I am generally a shower person. Especially a walk in shower person. Trying to negotiate a wet bathtub is... scary, to say the least.

This actually raises an interesting questions, my sample space is limited, but I have been to the US several times (work related), the showers in the hotels I have been to are almost always of the type with a fixed shower head in one end of a bathtub - whereas here in Denmark, and most other places I have been to, you might have a fixed shower head, but you almost always have a free moving shower head too - like the type you can take in your hand and point in any direction at any part of your body. I don't know if I have just been unlucky with the hotels I have been at in the US? but... I mean.. it is not only my hair that needs to be cleaned, and it is not even every part of my body that can be reached by water coming from above... I'm not that agile...

Showers because it feels like l could be standing under a waterfall. My senses take me away monetarily in the shower, and it feels so Zen. Baths are great, l had a jacuzzi bath put in our bathroom, uhh, spoiled beyond belief. It was actually the anticipation of just submerging with hedonistic thoughts bouncing around in my brain, and it made winters of ridiculous amounts of snow possible. Our pool at the complex is heated even doing FL winters, so it's kinda of bath like where l live now. I am sitting in 75 balmly degrees right now.

I prefer baths mainly in the winter to help warm me up. In the summer I take showers more often.

That's how most moderately priced residences in the US are equipped. If you want a fancy shower head that you can remove and dial how you want the stream to come out, you go to Home Depot and buy it.

Older people really need a walk-in shower with a chair, a nonslip floor, and a handrail to hang onto. That's what we did for my mother-in-law when she lived with us. My wife still had to help her. Bathtubs are too difficult to climb in and out and much too slippery to stand up in.

Shower for cleaning and time efficiency.

Baths for laying down and relaxing.

If I had a bathtub, I would definitely use it once in a while, but it would be like a luxury thing to really appreciate. I only have a shower so in reality there is no choice, except the choice between showering or not showering. I choose showering by the way.
