What is your bathing preference? Shower or bath?

And do you prefer one bath/shower before bedtime or one in the morning when you rise or two of them each day, one morning and one evening?





Why?





I will answer this question for myself. Most of the year I take one bath in the evening, as hot as I can stand it. It gets me clean and I stay clean through the coming day. In the heat of summer I may take a morning or afternoon shower, and if I do yard work I customarily shower afterward. This is in addition to the evening bath.





The main reasons for this preference are convenience--with four other people in our household I have to take the bathroom when it's available--and my own preference for a leisurely hot bath for its relaxing and therapeutic values. I sleep better, feel better in the day and generally am able to have my bath without troubling anyone else.





Your preferences, please? And do you recommend them for others?





(I recommend my type bath for those who might have joint pains or sore muscles. If it sounds inviting try it.)What is your bathing preference? Shower or bath?
I prefer a very hot shower. I take one in the morning before work to make me feel clean and to wake me up. I take one when I get home because I work in a warehouse and get dirty and it helps me sleep.





I won't take a bath because it makes me feel like I'm washing with dirty water. The way I figure it, you sit in the water that you are washing the dirt into. At least with a shower the dirt goes down the drain.





Now if you have joint problems and you take a bath for that, then that's a different story. Your just trying to calm the body.What is your bathing preference? Shower or bath?
Hi Warren,


Most definitely a shower. Really hot one in the morning. I also wash my hair everyday. I know its not good (for my hair) to do that but I don’t feel really clean unless my hair is clean also. For me there is just something I don’t like about sitting in water. I don’t know if it is (like Andrew said) laying in your own funk or what. I don’t even like whirlpool baths or hot tubs. A shower is so cleansing. I like to be squeaky clean.
Your recommendation is great and very helpful. My husband is doing just the same as you are doing. As for me I only have a bath every morning. I just take a body shower in the late afternoon. That is washing not my hair. I have only to wash my whole body and that made me feel comfortable and have a restful sleep at night. Thanks.
Hey Warren, Don`t worry about the Twits on here. It really is a shame when you can`t ask a perfectly innocent question without peoples minds going in the gutter. Everybody cleans themselves, and everyone should be able too talk about it.


Personally I take a hot shower for my back problems. And it feels wonderful. Oh crap!! I didn`t come off as a ';Creeper';


Did I ?

shower once a day, depending, on how I feel. As a hairstylist sometimes two, just great too feel clean...love baths, but this is only about once week with lots of bubbles, candles sometimes and a good book! Usually though I can't stay in long enough to read...it can be too hot in the bathroom, so it is nice to get up and shower off! It is so nice to soak and just relax in a tub full of steamy water...just so nice and soothing...a great pleasure! :)
If I need to shave my legs, a bath in the morning or night. If I need to wash my long hair a shower is great...I am not good at propping my legs to shave in the shower.


..In the summer almost always in the AM unless I have been swimming during the day then I will bath at night to get all the sunscreen off for bed...:)
I Take a very hot bath everyday ,, i love a hot bath to; hot as i can stand it im red all over when i get out , in the summer i take a cool bath or shower


I stayed in a hotel once where(( one tub of water ))served all the guests, eww thats gross sharing the same water with everyone.
I have fibromyalgia and post-polio syndrome, my muscles are achy and sore all the times. I don't do well in the water.





I prefer a warm shower at night in the winter months.





In the summer I like 2-3 a day when its humid and sticky.
I prefer to take a long hot soak in the evening, it is so relaxing, I like a shower in mid afternoon as well. Especially in the summer.
i perfer a shower if you want to get clean cuz a bath just keeps all the dirt in the water your trying to get clean in. but if you want to relax then a bath :p
Shower 2--3 times a day if necessary ,,,,Baths no Just something about laying in your own funk Unggg!! If need be I'll go and use the whirlpool to soak these aching bones Sorry just my opinion
Shower in the morning to start the day off that way, fresh. Do not shower at night unless I am dirty as I am tired and just want to sleep
Shower every day except once a month I take a bath so I won't forget what it feels like to take a bath. :)
I always take showers. I haven't had a bath since I was a kid.
I like a bath.
Oh WarrenD, Welcome back. are you sure that this is ';CLEAN'; enough for YAHOO??? :)))))))))) Thought you would like that.





I am like you, LOVE A LONG-HOT-AS-POSSIBLE-SOAK, add some bubbles and epsom salts ';FROM TENNESSEE'; and you have a bath made in Heaven. When I do not plan on doing physical work, I like a long hot bath at night, for relaxing sleep. Week ends I like early morning bath. Summer, If extremely hot days, I bath in morning and then run a tub of hot water and let it cool, and sit in it like a pool to bring down my body temp. I do not like much AC makes me bronchial trouble.


This was a fun question. Showers are to quick and most men like those, but when you hurt in joints this really is a way to loosen them up and allows you to rest well.


Peace and LOVE Nancy





Edit: when you use a tub you stand up and rinse off ';that dirty water';, DUH!
You sir, while your logic seems correct, come off as a creeper
