What is better a bath or a shower?!


Question: I have always wondered what is better, to wash off continuously under a showerhead, or to soak in your own dead skin and dirt. To simply rinse off with water or soak in soap saturated water? They both sound like they do the trick to me but is there any bennefit to one more than the other? Guys I think we have all enjoyed the side effect of a cold shower before but does temperature of the water offer any other perks? What do you guys think is better and why???

Personally, I shower because bathing isn't my thing. Usually a bath tub isn't always the cleanest thing ever, and you could be bathing in enough germs as it is. However, this applies to showers and standing in the same bath. That's why usually I use some kind of shower mat, that I usually wash. Hopefully this helps you.

shower, but bath for relaxing

Probably a shower is better as it uses less water, its quick and you dont soak in dirty water. However, there is nothing like a long soak in a hot tub after a long day to relax you.

i think a shower, because a bath, you just sit there in your dirty water, so it does not good.

showers are cleaner but baths are more relaxing.

Well Im going to have to be the odd one out... I actually prefer baths over showers. I can bath alot faster than I shower, since showering gets my hair all tangled up, and in the bath I can submerse my hair and its tangle-free. Plus its easier to rinse, just dunk under and you're rinsed.
I clean my bathtub so often that it doesnt get dirty, and I dont see it as "soaking in my own filth" because I bathe at LEAST once a day, so I know I'm not dirty.
And when I'm sitting in the tub, I feel like the water can get to EVERY inch of my body to clean it, rather than just running off my body and not necessarily cleaning everything.
Showers are good too, I just love bathing.
