Do you take baths. Do you even have a bath?

Downward Dog. I've been able to do it previously no problem, but today I slipped on the mat and fell over!

Take off the socks for better grip!

I have a bath and used to use it a lot, haven’t had a bath in ages, just turned in the immersion and I’m going to enjoy a soak this evening. Cheers for the idea OP

Use it once in a blue moon when Im feeling luxurious and want to treat myself. It really takes such a long time to boil enough water to keep an entire bath steamy hot for the half hour or so you lie in it so its a bit impractical, but nice when I do have it

We ripped out the bathtub when we bought our house as our bathroom is really small and it just felt really cramped with the big bathtub in there taking up like half the room. I'm glad we did it, the room works better now and I'd hate having to climb into a tub every day to have a shower. I do like a bath during the winter though and I miss having a tub in the house.

Same here. The bathroom was always small and once the last of the kids left home, we ripped the bath out, reconfigured the layout and installed a shower. We've never looked back. Both of us prefer the shower and it's so much handier to shower than bath every day.

I only have a bath myself around once a month, it's handy to have it for my kid when he stays with me though.

When we built the house, the one thing I wanted was a Jacuzzi bath. It has been such a gift the past two weeks as I'm suffering from sciatica. The jets really ease the stinging pain.
Am generally in favour of a bath, especially in the winter time. Minions have one every evening too

I have a bath, but would like one that comes with a heater to keep the water warm...last time I had a bath was last Saturday, so nice.

I used to have a little bathtop book holder, you still had to reach up and change page but Id leave one hand out so I could do that.

I love baths. Ive never even used the shower in our house. Mostly I shower in the gym or work but at the weekends I always take baths.

I’d find even that annoying. I like to immerse all parts of me.

Yeah I hear ya.

I would have preferred full immersion too but it was a good compromise when you wanted a soak with your book.

Dont know where that stand ever went actually. I did have a few mishaps and books falling in the odd time.

It was more practical for magazines cos you didnt really mind if one got ruined.

I never take a bath, I only shower.

I always hated baths as a kid, so I never liked the idea as an adult. But tried the whole bath thing again a few years ago to give it a fair chance... I still didn't like it. A plastic tub is just not comfortable to lie in. You can't even read without worrying you'll get your book/device wet.

I'll take lying on a cozy couch with a warm dressing gown, hot water bottle and good book over a bath any day!

P.S. All you bath takers are responsible for the water shortages :P

Well, part of it for me is that I use baths to either space out or have a good aul think for myself. Something about the calm and the immersion and the water sounds is very relaxing. Very conducive to chewing the cud.

I haven't had a bath in probably 20 years and there isn't one in the house. It's showers all the way for me. When I renovated the property, I made an extra large bathroom/dressing room and I put in an extra large shower with its own underfloor heating. Magic.

It’s a shower, not a drive through car wash
