Stolen from another board-baths???

Do you take baths? 

 I was kinda surprised at how many people thought it was like sitting in your own filth or worried about previous owners being naked in their tub! 

I love baths and take them to relax.  I shower almost every day, so baths aren't for cleaning...straight relaxing.  Just curious what others do.

Re: Stolen from another board-baths???

  • I only shower. I don't think I've taken a bath since I was 12.
  • I just got out of the bath Wink

    As long as you shower, I don't think it's swimming in your own filth. Also, I am the only person to ever use this bath so I don't really worry about it. Bubble bath and a good book...so nice.

  • I love a hot bath, especially when my muscles are sore. Add a glass of wine and a good book...
  • i LOVE baths...and haven't had one since 2007. our townhouse didn't have enough hot water to fill the tub, and now our tub in our house is too small for me.

    DH knows one day when we have a big house, i DEMAND a claw-foot tub. demand.

  • I don't have a problem with the filth but I don't take baths because our tub is really big and takes forever to fill up. I rarely feel like I have the time to wait for it and enjoy it.
  • Love baths. LOVE them.

  • I was never a bath person until a friend suggested I try Lush bath bombs and now I love baths and so does dh.  I don't think of baths as something to get you clean, just a way to relax.  For babies, it's the best way to get them clean--there was a woman on the 0-3 month board a while back who said she would hold her baby in the shower!
  • I love baths! I do shower everyday and scrub the tub every week, so I'm not worried about the filth/dirt.  Even though our tub is probably too small for me, I scrunch in, and take at least a couple a month, usually when I'm PMSing. When we move into a bigger house (whenever that will be), huge tub is on my definite list. I'm really grooving on the infinity edge tubs that are currently available.

  • I'm not a huge bath person.  However, my H loves them!  Weird, I know!  I prefer taking a long hot shower instead.

    ITA. Ilurve my baths. I usually take a few a month, but our new tub is A: small and B: it gets dirty quickly. We think its a "rebath" and the floor surface is porous so when MrBAMF comes back from a long run very dirty, there goes the clean looking bottom. It just holds onto the dirt. ICK. Ick!

    MrB has taken more than me lately since he's been going on long runs to prep for the marathon. He uses epsom salts to ease his muscles.

    When we get a house I'm going to look for ways to make the master bathroom into a spa heaven.

  • I'm not a big fan of baths. I've only used the one in our house when I had foot surgery and couldn't shower. I just don't find them to be all that relaxing. Sure, it's nice for a few minutes, but then the water starts to cool and you have to turn the water on again and hope that it's hot. It just becomes more of a PITA. Plus, our hot water runs out far too quickly. I love hot tubs on the decks of cabins though (that are thoroughly cleaned).

    DH takes baths.... fully clothed to protect himself while he bathes the cats!

  • Bath, wine and soft music or a good book-I love it

  • Haha...glad to hear so many others like baths!  The tub in our apt. is pretty small, but I scrunch in there anyways.  I lust for a soaking tub...one day!

  • I like them. I haven't taken one in a few years though.

  • I adore baths, and take them nearly every day. I would say I bathe 5 times a week and shower 2 times a week. I don't get in the tub if I'm yucky from working out or something, but I adore the relaxation and can't get enough of it. I hate that my tub is so small, so a huge tub is definitely on my list for our next house.
  • Yes I love baths!!

    I even duct tape shut the overflow drain so I can take a deeper bath in my tiny tub. I just have to remember to put a towel on the floor to catch the little overflow.
