    Im undergoing a medical treatment which requires me to take a bath twice a week. Before that I hadn't had a bath for at least 7 years as we don't actually have one anymore so I always have a shower.

    So whats the AH Preference when it comes to personal hygiene

    Shower. A bath is basically being in a pool of your own dirt.

    Isn't the point of soap to kill dirt and not make it manky?

    No (this time) but it is to do with a skin problem.

    Had a bath for the first time in 9 years when I stayed in a hotel last week. It was glorious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,429 ✭✭✭Woshy


    Both - I usually shower because it's quicker and more efficient etc but I do love me a bath at least once a week.

    We've moved house and I have yet to figure out how to heat enough water for a proper bath - I am bath deprived!

    had the biggest craving for a bubble bath the other week but I had no bubbles :( worst day of my life. no joke.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,299 ✭✭✭✭The Backwards Man


    Shower on my own, bath with company.


  • Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Shower for me, bath for the OH usually.

    Sometimes we share a bath or a shower though, just to conserve water like, BOO Irish Water! :mad:

    real men don't have bubble baths


  • Posts: 26,219 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Only have a shower where I am now, but am house sitting where there is a huge 2 person tub. There will be baths had, many baths.

    That said, I get all excited at the prospect of a bubble bath, but wind up getting bored after 10 minutes. :(

    Nothing like a hot bath in the winter.

    Shower of bastards


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    Baths are less dirty than most people think.

    Showers are a lot less water efficient than people think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,745 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    Showers are for cleaning yourself, baths are for relaxing in.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,287 ✭✭✭seligehgit


    A bath all the way.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 776 ✭✭✭seventeen sheep


    You don't get clean in a bath. You're just spreading your own filth about yourself.

    If you want a bath before your shower? Grand, bathe before your shower, wash it off in the shower. Don't go soaking yourself in dirty water in a bath and think that you look or smell clean afterwards. You don't.

    I get bored in the bath in a much shorter time than it takes to run it.

    I do have the occasional one after a race or something but the effort of it. I'd always shower after it anyway.

    Showers for me please.

    Total rubbish! It doesn't even work like that at the molecular level of soap and dirt, and no one comes out the bath dirtier than they went in ffs!

    Shower to get clean, bath every now and then to relax in. If I'm taking a bath I always shower quickly before and after it.

    Bath, can relax with a bottle of beer and listen to some music. Helps with aches and pains from work.
