im not saying replace showers with baths but ive been getting in the bath for the last few days after work and just chilling, smoking some weed and listening to podcasts or watching youtube. i wash myself as well and it feels way less rushed than when im showering. if you have a bath tub i recommend it. im in the tub as i type this
I truly wish I could but I’m too fucking tall to enjoy bathtubs
My knees get cold poking out of the water
Just get a cup and constantly dump water on yourself
That just makes it harder to do relaxing activities in bath
So…a shower
Trust me, it’s different
Is it better though?
Yes
Explain
You get a bigger douse of water flowing over you, you have more direct control of where the water runs over you. In a bath you can add nice salts and oils that smell nice and are good for you skin, can’t do that with a shower head. Also while you’re dumping water on yourself your feet and legs are getting a nice warm soak.
I don’t shower or bathe because that’s not trad and only women do that. So I do the manly retvrn thing and take a dust bath like a chinchilla.
Actually trad Vikings managed to seduce British women away from their stinky ass nerd men with how well they were groomed and how regularly they bathed.
I am now envisioning a Chad type, just standing there looking all grizzled and stoic when, just like a chinchilla, he just drops and rolls.
I used to take baths like every single day, sometimes twice. But over the years my landlord has replaced the old powerful water heater with a weak one that barely produces hot water, unless you run it extremely slow. They also put in the most uncomfy light on the planet, so unless I bring a ton of candles it’s like trying to relax on a hospital hallway. I barely take baths nowadays because the experience is so much worse than what I used to be, but it’s still nice as an occasional thing.
tl;dr: fuck landlords
Aint nonthin better than gettin high and takin a nice bath.
Also, baths are a good cure for paranoia from weed. Just a nice calming sensation to help you center
i am too large of a human for the small ass tub at my home
I’ve got a tub with a 14-inch soaking depth in my garage that I’m putting in next week. I can’t fucking wait.
I would love to… if I weren’t an ice giant
I am a hundred feet tall and there is no tub in the neighborhood to chill in
If I had the money I’d totally find and install a tub that can fit tall people
Another thing I’d recommend: take out the built-in stopper mechanism in the tub, use a drain strainer or tub shroom when showering and then use a stopper disc when taking a bath. You’ll get way fewer clogs that way.
what if you like pulling out those 2ft hair worms?
Every Saturday morning I eat some breakfast, smoke a joint, and have a nice long bath to soak away the week’s work. Really relaxing way to start the weekend.
do you have a goto brekky? mine’s an egg and cheese and hashbrowns
Nothing fancy, bowl of store brand special k cereal and a cup of coffee - I find a lot of flavours and textures way too intense when I’ve just woken up, so don’t really change it up at all.
Bought a house with a bathtub in it 4 years ago. Yet to take a bath in it.
do it now
Do it for @LuigiMaoFrance@lemmy.ml, who hasn’t a tub because they are a renter! 😭
Since we’re all complaining. The hot water always gets cold faster than I’d like and it’s always uncomfortable being in that transitionary period cold sitting water and hot water as it’s coming in. Mostly just due to bad plumbing or heat retainment or something.
Otherwise also enjoyed baths and reading there with some music.
No, bathtubs are dysphoria machines
Fuck yeah! Get some epsom salt with lavender too, and Neutrogena rainbath oil and put it in there, I feel smooth as a baby’s bottom after I come out of a steamy soak with that stuff.
