Baths are underrated these days

    Just had one there for the first time in about 3 years. I usually just have a shower every day or two.

    Only reason I decided to have it is because I had bought one of those 'bath bomb' things for a cousin of mine for Christmas but misplaced it and had to give her something else instead. Not wanting it to go to waste I decided to use it to see what all the fuss was about.

    It was feckin lovely. The yoke fizzed away for about ten minutes and released petals and all sorts :o

    Spent a good hour just laying there relaxing and enjoying the glorious womanly fragrances!

    I don't think I'm much cleaner now than I was before I went in but I feel damned good and that's all that matters

    Is this odd in this day and age or do other men enjoy the occasional nice hot long bath?

    The problem with baths is waiting for the hooring thing to fill. If I had a maid I'd have a bath every day.

    I are man. I too like bath.

    Especially a nice bubbly one with a hint of lavender :D Oh divine!

    I'd enjoy a bath if I could get both my shoulders and my knees under the water at the same time, modern baths are made for midgets.

    Not bothered with baths to be honest. If I want a soak I'll go to the local pool!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,646 ✭✭✭✭Sauve


    I love having baths!
    All the smelly stuff, candles, and peace and quiet.

    But then after about three minutes I get incredibly bored and get out again :o

    I've often spent the entire evening in the bath. Between fapping and relaxing I'm in there for no less than 4 hours. I look like a dried grape when I get out but its just so good..

    I love baths.

    Haven't had one for ages but will in fact have one later after reading this.

    No gay stuff though. Just hot water and a bit of bubble bath.

    I only like hotel baths, where I don't have to worry about having enough hot water, and having to rinse out all the suds after. :o

    Gotta be doing it every day or you'll turn into a crusty old git named Patsy.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Lucky for you OP. I can't fit into my bath anymore. It's not like it used to be when I was a child.

    And I hate showers because half of your body is warm and the other half is cold. I used to love relaxing in the bath completely warm ahhhhh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,088 ✭✭✭Pug160


    Baths are alright but if money was no object I'd get like to have my own personal steam room.

    NA NA NA NA NA...BATHMAN !!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,609 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    You come out needing a shower is the only problem with them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 723 ✭✭✭Daqster


    If I've had a stressful day, nothing like one and a glass of wine too.

    Shaving my legs also makes me feel..

    ..I've said too much.

    This happens to me too. I spend more time filling it and getting the ambiance right than I do sitting in it! I always have such a good sleep after a bath. My bones are all warm!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,199 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    Baths are such a faff.

    Only for kids really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,646 ✭✭✭✭Sauve

    Nahh, they're wasted on kids!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,925 ✭✭✭✭anncoates


    The only worrying thing about them though was that urban myth you always believed as a young lad that cracking a sneaky one off in the bath could get your Ma or sisters up the duff if they ran a bath after you.

    Baths are completely underrated, too many people leading too busy lives that they don't appreciate taking a few hours to themselves to shut out the world and unwind for a bit in a roasting hot bubble bath with epsom salts for my bones and muscle soak for, well, my muscles.

    Phone, smokes, drink on the bath tray, lie back and leave to par boil for a few minutes until lobster red, then turn over, lie back and leave to simmer for a couple of hours, lift out when al dente, dress in pyjamas and slide into a warm bed :D

    I love baths. Light some candles, bath bomb from lush, bit of music - relaxation central. I don't have a bath where I live now :(

    I did stay in a really cool hotel in Dubai where there were shutters beside the bath that opened up out into the bedroom and the TV swivelled around so you could watch it while in the bath.

    I think I'll design my house like that when I win the lotto.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles


    Did anyone else share bath water? My mam would have a bath, leave the water in and then my brother would get in. I refused because it was manky :( Sometimes you'd be asked if you wanted to jump in after your mam, brother and sister. 4th hand bath water ...

    Our bath was like a sheep dip when we were kids. XD

    I always wanted one of those really deep baths that you walked down into. Look great.

    Yep, last one into the bath after a family of eight, I'd have felt fresher climbing out of a sewer tbh! :(

    Ah jesus that's mank. But I did used to share the bath with siblings when I was a kid. Two kids in the bath together. I suppose that's just as manky. :(

    I disagree, I think everyone washes far too much these days, it's very drying on the skin. After sweating yes, you should shower, but every other day is perfectly acceptable to me, if you live a fairly sedentary lifestyle. ( but then again I also have a crackpot theory that if I wash away less skin cells I'll age slower, so what do I know)

    Rinse and repeat - that's another one that irks me. Yeh right, so I use and buy twice as much product. No Pantene - feck off, its expensive enough as it is.

    I love a good bath (birthday n Xmas:D) and a hotel bath is the best. They're usually a wee bit bigger, endless supply of hot water and if your lucky some nice free smellies.
