Bath or shower

[DavidY]

If there's no water in the pipes (as in this area) the thought of either is true heaven.

Yes - fair point.

As I was carting water (but only from one part of my house to another) this morning I did remember that I had it really easy compared to some.

i voted shower and i still prefer a shower to get clean. But i really love a bath for chilling out. I pamper myself when i have a bath and i can destress!

I think there should be a 'both' option!

I currently have a bath at my flat and no shower at all..... I HATE IT!!!

baths take way too long to fill up, get colder by every minute you are lying in it. You cant rinse your hair properly!

Prefer a shower, faster, warmer, more cleaner !! I miss my shower in my parent's house!

Shower most definately. A couple of times a year I go and have a bath but I loose patience after 10 minutes lying down. Its so boooring and then I get too hot, and I pour more cold water in, and yes gets too cold.

After the bath I'll need to have a shower anyway to wash out my hair, so I really never can quite see the point.

One of the purposes of plenty of bubbles from your bubble bath liquid is that it keeps the water warmer for longer. Anyway, if the bath starts to cool a little, can't you just turn the hot tap on for a while and warm it up again.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned a "monkey bath" yet though:
(when the water is too hot, you start getting in, realise that the water is way too hot and is scalding you, and then you start jumping around and going "ooh ooh ooh aaah aah aaah" etc.

At Southport, the shower is often one of the best things particularly after a day of workshops and in good preparation for the evening freestyle.

At home I prefer a bath, as I can relax effectively.

you had a shower that stayed on for longer than a minute?

I hate those stop/start showers they have at holiday camps and sports clubs. It's the reason I stopped going to the gym

I had to keep pressing that button to allow it to work, but that's no problem to me.

Showers are evil, they keep playing games with you. One minute they are freezing the next minute your hiding in the corner from the scalding hot water

Much more relaxing in a bath
