I almost always took baths as a child (we also passed down the water:p), but now I find I almost always take a shower. In the winter is when I take most of my baths. I soak in them to get warm!

A friend used to say that taking a bath was like dying an egg - except you are the egg.
Showers for me - unless I am feeling really crummy and need to relax in the hot water.
Showers only for me. There is something about a bath that just doesn't seem clean to me. My hang up.
I hate baths, I shower daily. To be honest, I can't remember the last time I bathed. Baths just seems gross to me...lol
showers. i hate wading in my own "lexie soup"
Nah....that way, on Sunday night or Monday morning I feel like I am getting my money's worth from the experience!!! I HATE to take showers. I like to be clean, so, I do, but, I hate doing so. :DQuote:

After I moved out my parents redid their bathroom including the tub and it isn't as nice to lay in either so they now take showers too!
I also grew up taking a bath before bed never in the morning. Now I take one before work and since I work 2nd shift I am taking a shower anywhere from 11am to 1pm! Actually getting ready to get in the shower right now. :D
The house that my grandparents lived in for 50 years had NO bathroom other then a sink and toilet. There was a shower head with a shower curtain in the basement which you had to go OUTSIDE to get to. And my grandma had 2 hip replacements so she couldn't comfortably go up and down steps. My grandparents 'sponge bathed' every day. I asked my dad once how he got clean when living there (from the time he was a sophomore in HS until him and my mom got married when they were 22) and he said he spongebathed and was probably more clean then a lot of the kids he went to school with! When they moved into the trailer behind my parents house there was a HUGE tub and a separate shower - but my dad put a large piece of plywood over the tub and they put a dresser up there for more space. Neither one of them could get in and out of the tub anyway. I don't know if my grandpa ever used the shower or not (change was hard for him! ;)) but my grandma certainly enjoyed using the shower when she had one.
Showers, hands down. :D
Showers. Can't remember the last time I took a bath.
When I was a kid, we didn't have running water so a bath was a big deal on Saturday night. We'd haul the big galvanized tub into the kitchen, fill it with water from the well, add hot water and take turns--in the same water. Maybe that's why I LOVE a shower.
I take daily showers but will take a bath 2-3 times a week to relax. Put some bubble bath in and read a good book. ;)
