What do I prefer to have, a bath or a shower?
Today I'll share my views on baths.
What I love about having a bath is that it's relaxing. I find one of the best ways to unwind is to submerge myself in a beautifully warm bath until my fingers resemble prunes. Obviously, no bath is complete without a good book to read whilst in the tub. I suppose having a bath is more about the experience rather than serving a function (to clean oneself) because if you think about it, you're just lying in a pool of your own dirt. I've always thought of baths as advertised as being the more feminine option out of baths and showers, because when have you ever seen an advert involving a man relaxing in a bubble bath with a cuppa, surrounded by scented candles? Probably never. Which is silly, because I imagine men love baths as much as we do, and I know for a fact that at least some men have bubble baths, because Radox do the best smelling bubble baths aimed at men! (ah, the annual Christmas present for Dad- a bottle of Radox's Muscle Soak, just to make him feel good that he's actually got muscles to soak..) Sadly as a sensitive-skinned eczema sufferer, I cannot use bubble bath :( But I don't really mind. The main downside of baths is having to get out. There's always that traumatic few moments of emerging from the steaming hot water into the chilly air, whilst you desperately fumble around for your towel. Therefore the bath's drawback is that it is a relaxing experience which always ends on a not-so-relaxing note, and there's just something so much more depressing about pulling the plug and watching the water drain out of your bath then just switching off your shower.
Hence I do love a good bath, but someone needs to invent a way of making getting out of it way more appealing! Come back tomorrow to read my thoughts on the bath's rival: The Shower. I promise you it will be a THRILLING sequel! Very, very thrilling.
Cheerio folks, and happy bathing!
