    [​IMG] Today it struck me what might be generally more preffered. Personally I find a warm bath considerably more relaxing than just taking an ordinary shower :holy:

    How about your opinions?

    A shower. Quicker and gets me cleaner. Bath has me soaking for 2 hours usually. The record was 5 or something. Hehe.

    Bath. Totally. There is nothing that relaxes me as much as a bath in a huge bathtub, with bubbles..... mmmm bubbles.

    I like baths, but they take too long time. Even if it is nice there are other things that I prefer to do most of the time than sitting in a bath. That and that my bathtub is quite small, I fit in it but it is pretty tight. Shower all the way, though I do shower in my bathtub. ;)

    Bath tub in Malaysia is only accessable by those rich people. i am a socialist, rich = sin, i will take shower anytime, anyday. This goes the same for the reason why i don't play golf.

    Well, if a large tub, or a whirpool jet tub is avilable then I take a bath, other wise I can't fit my supper long legs in it, so I take a shower. Being tall sucks! :rolling:

    Same as Sorvo, in the summer a cold shower is much more refreshing

    [​IMG] Usually a shower. Sometimes a bath. We don't get much hot water - the neighbour steals it - she is senile

    As long as I'm single, I would take a shower.
    I have some sort of idea that in a bath, all the filth comes floating on the water, like a film or membrane. When you stand up you 'get it on' so you're dressed in it again and have to take shower. :p

    I love a bath and a book, but I rarely have time for one. Normally just a shower every morning.

    Sauna and shower, if possible, but more often I go just in shower.

    Great quote from Sienfeld on taking baths, "You mean soak for a while in a tepid pool of my own filth? I think not!"

    A bath is a luxury I rarely can make time for. A quick shower in the morning, then off to the train. At night I'd rather relax by playing (BG2) with Velcro or reading SP.

    I agree with the "tepid pool of my own filth" thought, and that's part of the reason a PROPER bath takes so much time: I shower first to get clean, then simply soak in the tub! The Japanese have the right idea on this!

    The last problem is I've never had a custom bathroom, and therefore haven't had a tub where all of me gets wet at once since I was little... :cry:

    A bath if possible. Like teekc, most people don't have bathtubs. So it's usually a shower.

    A bath is very relaxing, and when you're sick, nothing is better at cleaning out your sinuses (I'm still sick, and did this trick this afternoon.) I make the water so hot, nothing could survive in it!
