Bath


Nothing personal. . . .. but how often do you bathe? Me? Every three days.

I prefer showers..... every morning for me.
In the winter I do like an occasional nice hot soak in the tub on a cold winter night.

reply

Just twice a week ?? You like it funky. A quick shower everyday, may skip a day on the weekends.

reply

At least once a day.
Sometimes twice if I get hot and sweaty. 😜

reply

Once a day and twice in the summer since I'm in the ocean almost daily.

reply

I prefer showers
The bathtub thing seems a bit...'dainty,' 'lady like...'
I would feel weird

Always at least once a day but twice during the hotter months...BO is amongst the foulest scents i am aware of

reply

Showers are much more efficient in several ways.

reply

This is my opinion too
Who wants to wallow in luke warm butt water...

reply

I take an occasional hot epsom salt bath in the winter. It's really rejuvenating, great for body aches. Luke warm is when I emerge.

As I said before, I like the occasional bath too. Strictly for the relaxation, and in that respect, it has nothing to do with being dainty.
I prefer showers because I want to be clean. Who wants to sit in their own filth? Even after a bath, I stand up and spray off.

reply

I don't doubt you're probably familiar with epsom salt.

Best thing in the world for that achy breaky back!
For that matter, anything else that aches.

reply

Almost a cure all, at least temporarily.

“The bathtub thing seems a bit...'dainty,' 'lady like...'” Not really.... especially if your honey is in there with you! Can be quite satisfying....
I frequently take tub baths. Nothing beats filling that garden tub to the hilt with bubble bath, aromatherapy scents and slinking down into that calm soothing water. I have two....one with bubble jets

The OP every three days? Yucky!

You have TWO bath tubs in your garden?! Color me green with envy!

I've heard of garden bath tubs before, but have never met anyone who had one (let alone two!) or seen one.

"Nothing beats filling that garden tub to the hilt with bubble bath, aromatherapy scents and slinking down into that calm soothing water. I have two....one with bubble jets"

Sounds amazing! Can you put bubble bath in the one with the jets?

“You have TWO bath tubs in your garden?! Color me green with envy!” 😉

Not *in* my garden....haven’t had a garden in decades! ☺️ But, to answer your query, I had a cultured marble garden tub in my Florida house. I loved that thing! In fact before the power was turned on (new house) I went over during the daylight and initiated my beautiful new garden tub. I chose the 6ft length, 33” wide in the center, oval shape.

This house in MS, I chose the same tub for upstairs, but also included a shower to be plumbed with it. I hate those dinky 5’ standard tubs. For our master bath downstairs I went with a different style (oblong) acrylic tub with bubble jets. By choosing a bubble tub I can use bubble bath and aromatherapy items. I understand with the full jetted tubs additives cannot be added. The following photo is like my setup along with matching toilet:

Then, uncolour me envious 😄

Not to nitpick, but why are they called garden tubs if there's no garden involved?

Nice tub and toilet though. I do like a roomy tub, too. The one in my last place was too small to properly relax in. The one here is perfect for me. Not a 6-footer, but very comfortable.

reply

You know...🤷‍♀️ I never thought about why, so your question made me Google. This is one of the reasons I suppose. The French again!

“Garden tubs were historically used in peaceful garden settings in France and other European countries. Modern day garden tubs are often placed indoors near large windows to allow a steady stream of natural light. Plants and flowers can be added to create a faux natural setting. Garden tubs are available in many makes, models and sizes. Some have steps leading up to and into the tub.“

reply

No bath. Every two days.

reply

Shower in the morning before work, shower after work (I'm a cook so I usually smell of cooking), bath before bed.

reply

Maybe 4 or 5 times a year. I don't keep track but it isn't frequent.

reply

Its none of my business but why only 4 or 5 times a year?

reply

It's not a schedule. I don't limit myself. I usually bathe when I have a cold.

reply

Oh! I thought that you ONLY took a few showers/baths a year. Now I've read that reply below and its all very clear.

reply

you stink

reply

reply

that is good to hear. you had me worried. lol
