Bubble baths

I only take baths in the winter time , when it's that time of the month, because it helps me with the cramps. otherwise, when we got our showers installed I was in 7th heaven. We only had a bath tub for 10 years and the showers are so nice. I am in and out in 10 minutes.

I take a bath when I want, but shower if all I'm doing is getting clean. I have a bad back and a hot tub is one of the few things that helps both my bad shoulder and my compression fracture in my lower back. We're on a well and I do think about our water usage, but I don't have any way to monitor it.

I really dont like baths, I only shower. If I want to take one, I will...but I dont think I've taken one since we've moved here, and that was about 6-7 months ago.

My kids take baths, pretty much every other day- every day if they get really dirty. I generally dont put much water in the tub- 4 inches or so. Mostly that is because they make a mess if I do.

My older boys are now taking showers, though.

I haven't had a good bath in years. Mostly due to having a broken stopper in the tub where I used to live with my husband. I tried to fix it, but it still didn't work. Now that my daughter and I moved to the apartment she has taken a bath. Maybe I will tonight.

I am a quick shower taker, just don't like to linger, too much to do, so about 5min in the shower does good for me. On occasioin, maybe every month or two I will do a bubble bath, but then I scoop the water out and put it in the washer & do laundery with it. After the laundery it goes into the holding tank to water the lawn. We are on a well 500' deep!! Wells don't do good here, so we have to be careful of our water consumption.

I just gave the tub a good cleaning so I can soak tonight if I get the chance

But, our new house came with one of those big tubs with the jets and I keep looking at it and thinking I gotta try that thing out!! I know me though, and I would have to go get in the shower after and rinse off because I don't like the feeling of having a residue or bubble bath still on me. LOL!

I love my bubble baths when ever I over do it with my (fibormayagia, and other pain problems), I use the bath as a way to help relax and sooth me, I take showers on days that i don't take a bath, there are times i will take a extra long shower if i am hurting but there is nothing like a bubble bath with a cup of hot tea or coffee and a book or magazine that i have not had time to read, i have not noticed much differenace in my water bill it runs about $85 a month no matter what i do so i just take a bath or shower however long as i need and really don't worry about it. I try and save in other ways,
