Random bath question

So a random thought occurred to me tonight as I ran my bagh

Do you run your bath and get in it whilst it's still running or do you run it first then get in when it's finished?

Very random I know!

When it's finished🛁🛁🛁

I hate baths - much prefer a shower. But when I do decide to have one, I run it with the intention of filling it before I submerge. But I get bored and end up sitting in shallow lukewarm water. 😂 and then have to keep filling and topping up with warm water when it inevitably goes cold.

Hence hating baths. 😁😳

When it's ready. Occasionally have a bath as a treat

essieestherson · 05/01/2021 20:48

Ideally I'd wait until it's finished but if Im feeling impatient then I'll get in early 💧

Mostly run then get in while it finishes

I run it fairly cool, get in and bring it up to hot hot.

Dh runs it hot hot and full. Then adds cold when he turns red....

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 05/01/2021 20:50

Get in once its finished!

LivingMyBestLife2020 · 05/01/2021 20:52

As it’s finishing normally

HopeYourHighHorseBucks · 05/01/2021 20:52

I run it to halfway, get in then fill up with hot water. I like my baths red hot leaving me looking like a drumstick sweet, but couldnt just jump in a red hot full bath. Got to prepare the body gently.

I know, riveting isnt it.

Depends when I get the temperature right. On the rare occasion that I treat myself to a bath, I cannot wait to get in it! If I get the temperature right early on in the filling, then I generally get in while it's still filling. If later on, then by the time I've fiddled around with the taps and adjusted the temperature to perfection the bath is full.

And then I lie there in luscious luxury, adding more hot when the bath cools, and emptying a little out, until I am all soft, wrinkly and relaxed. Mmmmm Smile

NotCornflakes · 05/01/2021 20:55

I get in while it's still running but I might be weird!

Dereg · 05/01/2021 20:58

Oh god, I hate running a bath. Mine fills a quarter of the way and is lukewarm.

I would love a HOT relaxing deep bath, Im so envious of you Xmas Envy

I would run it, then get in.

SingingWaffleDoggy · 05/01/2021 20:59

Normally, run it warm/hot, get in at about three quarters full then top it up with hot until I’m melting. If it doesn’t leave a red line at the water line it’s not up to temperature. Now I’m pregnant I’m too scared I’ll cook the baby so compromise with warm/hot with my bump sticking out of the water

Sideorderofchips · 05/01/2021 21:07

Normally I run it 3/4 and then add hot water as needed. Has to be a bath though, I don't use a shower unless I've dyed my hair

When still running.

Thehogfatherstolemycurry · 05/01/2021 21:57

Get in when it's 3/4 full then run the hot to get it really hot.
I'm in the bath now haha I have 1 every night.

Doublechins · 05/01/2021 21:58

I get in while it's running.
