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

(2,500 posts)another option for you and Peggy. It's easy to see who the genuine conservationists are.

(28,749 posts)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.

(40,126 posts)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.

(125,136 posts)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
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.

(10,686 posts)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.

(4,056 posts)I like mine super-hot and with the water pressure of Niagra. After an intense session at the gym, it's better than sex!

(4,281 posts)If you are going two or three days without showering, your privates must stink. Eww.
Iggo
(49,581 posts)Gives me extra time in the morning.
And also, I really really really like going to bed clean.

(1,277 posts)I would be fine if our home only had showers, but the other half can soak in the tub until the water gets cold.
