Do you prefer a bath or a shower?

I much prefer a bath. It doesn’t help that my shower is dodgy and runs hot then cold then hot then cold. I would still choose a bath over a shower though. Which do you prefer?

Shower regularly for early starts, but I bathe probably 2 or 3 evenings a week. It's a chance to stop & just be, which I don't get the luxury of often x

Shower.
Took my bath out a couple of years ago for a lovley walk on one.

definitely a bath, so much more relaxing

Shower.
I might have 2 baths a year. Each time, I go into it wanting to make a whole 'thing' of it - face mask, hair mask, exfoliator, magazine, wine.
Within 5 minutes I'm having a panic attack because I'm too hot and bored rigid, eyes darting around the room strategising about the work that needs to be done when we finally rip out and replace the old bathroom.

Both have different uses!

This!

I love them both

Crowgirl · 02/04/2024 22:18

I'd never want to live in a house without a bath again though

I like both:
Quick shower every evening before bed. But if I've been out for a long wet walk, n the garden, or feeling a bit under the weather then I love a long, hot soak!

Definitely a shower. Apart from the fact that because I have arthritis in my knees and hips there's a real risk that if I got into the bath,I wouldn't be able to get out again,I've never understood the point of lying in grimy,soap-scummy water!

Shower, but I do have a few baths a week too, more for relaxation and tired muscles. Not to get clean.

Copperoliverbear · 02/04/2024 23:00

Depends what mood I'm in. X

Bath. Even for a quick wash in shallowish water.
Obviously for a relaxing soak too.
Really dislike the water splashing down on me in a shower.

A bath. We have a shower.
