People usually takes a long time when bathing, especially women How long do you take bath? 20, 30, 45 minutes or an hour?Showering or Bathing Tub, which one is your reason that takes you a long time when bathing?
Personally i like bathing tub, and it takes hour or more minutes if i'm not fall asleep , but when in a hurry, showering only takes a half hour, btw i like the aroma theraphy when bathing tub, maybe it's the reason why i can so much easily fall asleep

Well I used to take 3 hours shower but nowadays a 20 min shower is what I can do. I get home so tired from the job I only want to rest. So taking long showers not anymore. But when I was only a student it was great to take very long showers, massage my whole body while showering and get relaxed.

Of course it feels good to have a refreshing bath using the bathtub and you can leisurely enjoy the bath with the aroma therapy and bubble soap and bath it really feels good and refreshing but when you are in a hurry it would be better to take a shower. I usually take around 20 - 30 minutes in the shower and if a bathtub it will surely double the time or more. LOL.

I'm not filthy rich and i don't have a bath tub here in my condo.. if i'm going to have one, i'd still choose to use shower as it's easier to use.. i have tried taking a bath in a bath tub and to tell you frankly, i didn't enjoy it myself.. i still enjoy the shower..it takes 15 minutes for me to finish and if i'm in a hurry it only takes me 5 minutes..

it depends really of my mood.. during my working days i would prefer using the shower, its an easy ways to bath and much more fast.it would last for 15-20 minutes.
when im sad or have a problem or stressed out from work then i would use the bath tubs during the night.. and it would take about an hour or so. most especially if im sad, i just stay in my tub and listen to music.. dont feel like talking if im sad actually. wanna be alone.

I am in my late 50's and have arthritis, so when I wake up, I am stiff, hurting in my joints and all bent over. I slowly head to the bathroom, and take a nice long, hot soak in the tub for about 20 minutes, then I briskly scrub every inch of me and when I get out, I am a new person! I walk upright, there's no pain and nothing is stiff and also I feel like dancing, so I'll take a bath over a shower any day! I can go from old to young in a matter of 20 minutes! Ha ha ha!

It's a miracle that bathing tub can do but you are right, hot or warm water can bring a fresh and it is good for body, cleaning body pore from dust and bacteria .. CMIIW

I personally use the shower. I don't like taking baths because i don't usually feel clean from a bath so i take a shower every night. I take kind of a long one too.. but that i can't really help. it's because of my skin. lol I take around 25-35 minutes. I don't like to rush.. lol I'm usually in there till the water goes colds.
I try to take faster ones but i'm not very good at that..

We don't have a tub so the answer is very easy - I do shower ;-).
It's better to take a quich shower than take a bath since you don't use the same amount of water. I tend to shower in 5-10 minutes - when I had short hair less than that - but with long hair it takes some time to wash it *lol*
I think that saving both water and energy is important!

How if you had? just one trick when i do my bath tub, is taking a shower before doing bath tub, so it will remove away the dirt when bathing tub i know it's a waste of water, but i'm doing it only when i feel i want to take a relax after the whole tough day

I can't even last 30 hours inside the bathroom because I am always beating the time. I'd shower for only up to 15 minutes every day. If I exceed that I surely would get late for job. My husband will run his car without me by his side as he could not afford to get late as well in his job. So my friend my shower time every day is always as brief as that. However during weekends I can stay much longer inside the bathroom.

Hey max! I like to take showers more than baths! Once in awhile
I will take a nice long bubble bath to relax! I take about
20 minutes in the shower if it's cold out so that I can warm
up with some nice hot water! That relaxs me too! If I have
to go out somewhere I may not take as long. I will wash and
wash my hair and condition it and get out. I enjoy my shower
more when I don't have to rush to go somewhere! Sometimes I
will take a second shower in the evening to relax me somemore!
I just love to be clean!

I think that they're both good depending on what kind of thing you're in too. I like both because they both feel extremely good and relaxing. I like to soak in the tub for a while and read for a while and listen to music. I also like to listen to music while in the shower and I think both are excellent.

I am a shower person, and I can get in and out in 10 minutes. It's not that I wouldn't like to have more time, but I usually a child standing at the tub, pulling the shower curtian open and letting water go everywhere, so it's get in do my business and get out before I have too much of a mess on the floor. I would prefer to have a bath but those things just don't happen to much around here.

Bath tub is a luxury for me. I do not have one and do not intend to get one either.
Water is way too expensive to be soaking in a bath tub all the time.
For me, the showers can last any where from 10 mins to an hour, depending on how tired I am.
Cos at the end of a long day at work, the feeling of that hot water on the body is really refreshing. And on those particularly tired days, I will let the shower run on me a little longer to relieve those aches and pains.

that's bad, you don't want to try it, but it's not everyday of enjoying bathing tub anyway, of course it needs a lot of money and wasting water ... but hot water can help relief our stress, aches, pain and fatique
Have a nice day ahgong

I prefer both. I usually take a shower before bed time. If I'm not in a hurry or just at home, I used bath tub. I really like to stay in the tub for about an hour or more. It relaxes my mind and body as well. I usually put some scents that serves as aromatherapy. If I cant sleep and I feel that it's hot, I take a shower for 15 mins only. That's the time I can get my sleep. :));) =D

I shower everyday, as fast as I can. My record is 3 minutes from water on to water off. When I feel like relaxing, I usually take a shower to clean myself off, and then change the water over to fil the tub. I will never start out in the tub, I feel like I am bathing in my own dirt. If I take a bath, it will usually never be longer than 20 minutes or so, because I hate when my skin gets all wrinkly. Worst feeling ever:p
