Shower basically always. Doesn't make sense to wash in your own dirt. The only time I have a bath is if I'm really tired and need to unwind or if I've got cramp or something.
 
Nothing beats the amount of thinking you can do in a bath.

I firmly believe many of the world's great inventions wouldn't exist if man didn't have the bath.
 
The last time i had a bath, was when i got home from my gold d of e walk, so i was pretty much bathing in my own filth (5 days worth of little to no cleansing). It was so relaxing though it didn't really bother me. I only have showers now though, as i don't want my dad to think im gay.

QUOTE OF THE YEAR FOR ME.

Out of the 2, I have showers more but do enjoy a bath while playing the DS :)

Anyone with a family will likely appreciate the quiet/relaxing time a bath can bring.

In theory I dislike baths. They take longer, and your filth shares the water with you. But not having a shower for a while made me think again. I actually discovered that I quite like lying there in the warmth. It's much more relaxing than having a shower

Yes, there's still the 'bathing in your own filth' thing. But that's totally irrational. Just think about it... all that filth was previously on your skin in a *much* more concentrated form. As you clean it gets diluted thousands of times (possible more given that skin is fairly 2 dimensional), and much of it gets 'locked' to soap. So it's daft to worry about it. After all, if we could actually see the filth in our daily environment (toilets spraying poop all over your bathroom, shoes tracking in all sorts, keyboards collecting god only knows what) we'd all develop OCD! Or get used to it, because it's perfectly natural.

Well, unless you're a candidate for a visit from Kim & Aggie.

Having said all that, given a choice I'd rather have a shower. Standing there with hot water pounding down on you can be every bit as satisfying as relaxing in a bath. I love it... though my electricity bill doesn't. I suspect a bath might be cheaper sometimes!

PS Gimpy makes a good point about a bath potentially allowing a valuable temporary escape from hectic family life.
 
At home always a shower .. if I'm staying in a nice hotel I always make use of the bath if its nice and big :D

My bath at home is fairly small, not very comfortable, also takes too long.

Edit : I thought a shower is cheaper as it uses less water :confused:
 
I like to have both, but within reason.

For invigoration, speed and as a way to start the day or getting ready to go out, a shower every time.

However after a long hard gym session, or a 3/4 hour motorbike ride, or a long stressful day a scalding hot bubble bath is worth a million pounds.
