Ditto! Nothing like a cool shower on a hot day, and nothing like a warm bath after a bad day

same here -
I grew up on baths. Rarely took showeres b/c we only had one bathroom that had a stand alone shower and one that had a tub. I bought my own house I don't like my tub as well as my parent's old one so I take showers daily and baths to relax. 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.

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.

I can't remember the last time I've taken a bath... However, I JUST got out of the shower. I've been known to shower 2-3 times a day.

Baths make me feel icky... showers make me feel soooo much better!

I am with Kay - that baths feel yuck. Showers just feel so good and I feel cleaner. I take lots during the summer especially.

As for baths - unless it is for relaxing or for achy muscle soaking - I figure I am sitting in yucky water

I guess I prefer showers, but baths are so relaxing! Our current house doesn't have a bathtub though, only showers, which is weird since our last house had a big tub but no shower!

showers.

Baths. But it is probably more of habit than anything. For 13 years my husband and I lived in an appartment with no shower. (therefore, no choice) when we bought our house, the shower did not work and after the purchase and some improvements, fixing the shower was not a priority. Now that it works, I do the shower if in a hurry. Otherwise I just find it clumsy.
