Do you prefer a bath or a shower?

Water conservation encourages showers over baths, but some people need a warm or hot bath to relax before bedtime. What are your bathing preferences?

another option for you and Peggy. It's easy to see who the genuine conservationists are.

Shower EVERY AM.
If I go to the gym (maybe 4x a week?) steam room/hot tub/shower
Then if I am stressed out SUPER hot shower at night to relax.

If I'm just doning light work around the house, it could be a shower every 3rd day (but I'll take a bird bird between showers). If I'm doing dirty work or have places to go, then it's a daily shower.

However, I also spend a lot of time taking care of my feet and between the toes since I'm diabetic. I can't really scrub down there (no, not THAT down there ) while standing. Then throw in those occasional times where I just want to soak...

I also don't feel that I get as clean taking a shower. I have to bend to get underneath the shower head since I'm 6' 1". Then the issue of whether there is adequate water pressure also comes into play--how much water do I actually save if it takes 5 minutes to rinse the shampoo out of my hair?

Plus the hot water supply might run out before the shower is completed.

Baths can be a good detox esp if you put some Epson salts in. Love to read in the tub with a cup of coffee with foamed milk. I have my own well with good mountain water.

I like mine super-hot and with the water pressure of Niagra. After an intense session at the gym, it's better than sex!

If you are going two or three days without showering, your privates must stink. Eww.

Gives me extra time in the morning.

And also, I really really really like going to bed clean.

I would be fine if our home only had showers, but the other half can soak in the tub until the water gets cold.
