Do you take baths?

I took one yesterday with MAXIMUM bubbles and essential oils and I felt like a princess. I even lit a candle and poured myself a tall glass of chilled Ribena. 

 

It took the edge off my cold a little, but I will now be a frequent bathtaker, even though I almost fell asleep and drowned to death it was worth it. 

 

Shoutout to Claire from LUSH who spent 20 minutes helping my identify the best bath bomb. 

maybe twice a year - if I’m ill or have had a particularly physically strenuous day - and I love those very occasional baths! for some reason I usually have a glass of port while marinating….. never drink port at any other time! 
Tamora-quick rinse under shower post bath solves that issue. 

Nope, don't enjoy a bath at all.  Once lived in a flat with no shower and not enough pressure to fit an attachment so I had to have a bath every morning and I grew weary of it.

I've lived in my current place 8 years and have had a bath 3 times.. I'm looking to have the bath removed and get a wetroom instead.

I enjoyed a rare bath recently.  Music, candles (even though it was daytime), glass of chilled cherry pepsi max (in a posh glass), bath salts and bubbles.  My colleagues had bought me one of those bath caddies so was reading my kindle.  All very delightful and utterly relaxing.  I then got out and as I swung my towel around me it clipped the nice glass and it smashed all over the place.  Said relaxation was then ruined and I spent at least 10 mins cleaning up. Pah!!

We have not had a bath in our house for nearly a year (weird old bathroom in old house waiting to be gutted and redone).  There is not a week that goes past that I don't feel deeply sad about this. I have regularly thought about driving an hour to my sisters house to have a bath there. 95% of all my problems would be solved if i had a bath. 

drawing a bath is running it.  Taking a bath is having one.

This is good to know. My house is littered with sketches of stolen bathtubs. 

I don't think I can properly relax in the bathtub at home. Either it will be too dirty (limescale that I haven't bothered cleaning), or if it happens that I just cleaned it thoroughly, I will think of the chemical residue leeching into the bath water.

I like the idea of them but then when I get in one I quickly get hot and bothered and want to get out almost immediately.  It takes me about six months to forget this, then I go again.

there is literally nothing worse than buying a Pepsi Max, getting home, opening it and discovering it's Cherry and Tesco have moved them around again.

Nothing worse.

I really like an occasional bath, but it would spoil the rare treat if I had one all the time, so it's mostly a shower then about once a month a lovely long bath soak. I do like it when working away, it's a good use of the otherwise quite dull fact of being in a hotel, to properly soak for ages.

My baths are a grand ritual.  We have a double slipper bath which is excellent. My baths involve bombs, oil, salts and occasionally phosphorescence.  There is always either champagne or cremant, usually candles and I have a stack of bath books. I FVCKING LOVE baths.

I had nearly forgotten baths existed. They can work like a sauna but they are too much work and time for me. I love wet rooms and outside showers. 

“odd for a male I think”

Eh? What’s with with bath sexism? It’s flipping odd not to like a bath. Ask the Romans. We have a UNESCO World Heritage Site city named after the bludy things fgs. 

Quick shower to get clean, then  nice relaxing bath to relax and soothe away aches after training.  Baths are a treat.  Obviously not if you’re a Puritan.  
 

Not had a bath since we’ve had the bengals. They love water and as soon as you turn the bath tap on they run and climb in. Fents does the same when the showers are turned on but tends to sit outside the downpour. 

Rarely take one but when I do I like the Bertie Wooster approach to preparations, pot of tea, packet of ginger biscuits, detective novel, continuous top-ups of hot water.

Maybe a couple a month? One a month? 

Generally if I've not been sleeping well, OR am hungover and want to rehydrate through osmosis, OR I get the impression that the sechs is only likely to be instigated if I present as particularly sparkly clean OR I fancy half an hour in the bath with a book and a whiskey.

Badedas all the way over here. Or radox. Cheap and bubbly. Bring it on. 
LUSH can do one. Horrible chemically bollox.

I just did an ice bath.  The cold water is the coldest it had ever been.  I plan on seeing my testes again in about june.

Tell u what tho

I FEEL PROPERLY fookING ALIVE

Glasgow has a couple of old fashioned baths. When living there I used to go for an Epsom salt slipper bath once per week. Bliss. We have side by side outdoor copper baths in southern Africa and that's a nice thing to do every so often.

Always take a bath on days that i haven't had a shower after gymming. I generally get in after my better half has been in... saves me having to faff around running the water and checking on temperature. Look forward to having my first if Ive been away on holiday or visiting my kids....
