Bath or Shower?

Given ideal circumstances, how do you prefer to get clean? Do you like soaking in the tub or feelin' the shower cascade over your body?

Me, I like a nice warm (not quite hot) bathtub filled with bubble bath. Relaxin' away with the TV (or radio) on in the background. Afterwards, a quick rinse off with the shower head.

Next?

sometimes a bath is nice, but i always feel like i have to take a shower afterwards. showers are definitly the way to go.

Exactly what i was going to say.

heh i haven't taken a bath since i was 8...err, except that one time with my girlfriend, but that was more dirty than clean

Showers, unless it's a really gigantic bathtub. There's nothing worse than one of those tubs where you either have to have your knees or your upper body sticking out

i love hot hot baths with a good book. i also take a bath if im shaving. its just so much easier that way.
if im being quick but thorough the showers the way to go...but i still end up staying in there awhile.

to actually get clean then a shower is the way to go. it takes me forever in the shower i never want to get out. for relaxing, book reading, getting away from the boyfriend then a nice hot bath with lots and lots of bubbles.

that's so weird...i was totally going to start a thread asking the same question [after searching to make sure it hasn't been done yet, of course!]

it depends, really. if i absolutely HAD to choose, though, i'd pick baths. i'd much rather live in a place where there was only a bathtub, but no shower attatchment, than a place where there was only a small, stand- up shower.

there's nothing like a bath for relaxing, or to warm up quickly.

sometimes i'll take a relaxing, but thorough, cleansing bath at night, and then a quick shower in the morning, especially if i have to wake up earlier than usual the next day.

shower or whirlpool...baths tend to be too small for my long legs.

I love a hot hot shower and if i'm in a bad mood i just sit under the stream and let it wash over me, i always feel unclean in a bath don't its just me.

Showers.

Water pressure is the key.

I know what you mean about small bath's I enjoy bath's when they are in those old houses with the big tubs, otherwise it's the shower's with the nice shower massage head..."7 setting's for optimal comfort, which I will gladly demonstarte for you now"

Me too! I feel like soup or stew in a bath tub.

I like to take a bath to relax but that usually means I have to clean my tub before I take one cause my roommates are all dirty boys.

So I'll go with showering. Besides, it's kind of pointless to take a bath to get clean cause you're just wallowing in your own filth.

shower unless its a jacuzzi

Showers???
Tubs???
What is this "clean" you people speak of?!?!
J/K..I like showers for the most part. Long or short hot or cold. I do however like a nice bubbly in a huge tub with a nice girlie. But that is usually just in my imagination.

I find my imagination consistantly better than my reality.
*sigh*

well, since i'm not filthy, i like baths.

baths are nice sometimes, but i always enjoy a nice hot shower.
