Suzanne – a bath with all the relaxing things does sound nice.

NJ – true. Sharing does help with water consumption!

Amy – that sounds like an interesting duck.

I like a bath if I have the time to relax, shave my legs, etc. I usually shower because Emma is in the other room waiting for mommy to “hurry so we can go”. There are also times that Emma joins me in the bath (We have a two man tub, 65 gallon I think.) especially if we’ve been swimming and need to wash off, she loves playing in mommy’s GIANT tub.
Oh, and yes I have a duckie… it vibrates… need I say more?
Hugs!

I’m a bath gal. I have to have one every night before bed to relax.

Hey, it’s not too bad on water consumption…not if you share it. *g*

Love the Topic.

I usually have a shower. Time saver. But then there comes the time for a bath. Candlelit, a glass of wine, headrest, and lots of foaming, white glistening bubbles. Oils, scents, and soft music.

It’s a superb way to relax.

I’m sorry to hear that Linda. There’s no doubt that baths are relaxing. A warm bath before you go to bed is also meant to promote deep sleep so I hear. But I do have to come out in favor of showers. I think they’re great.

I love bath products. Since my rheumatoid arthritis has gotten so bad I can’t get down in the tub anymore so I’m stuck with showers. Boy do I miss my long hot soaks.

Kaye – yes, showers are good if you’re in a hurry. I always feel cleaner after a shower too.

Gabriele – ah, I’ve used those showers that flood the entire bathroom. They’re not fun, especially when you try to get out and the floor is all wet.

Karen – I think I’d like a spa bath. Yes, I’m sure I would.

Jennifer – I imagine kids would make things difficult when it comes to baths.

Christina – None of the pubs we worked in had showers. It was always baths. I wonder why that is? Maybe it’s a space issue?

Sandra – no rubber duckie for me either.

Helen – RIP rubber duckie. Baths are more relaxing, but you need to be more organized, I think.

Marianne – showers are definitely better if you’re in a hurry.

In England, it was baths all the way but since we’ve lived in Oz I’ve only ever had showers. Sometimes I really miss not being able to have a lovely long soak!!

I was always a bath person until I had a child. Then I needed to get clean QUICK and switched to showers.
