I haven't taken a bath in 8 years!

What a trick statement. I thought at first that you haven't bathed at all in the past 8 years. Well, my husband is the same as you are, he also only takes showers every other day. As for me, I like to take a bath at least one time a week. It is a great way for me to relax and calm down. It is my few minutes of peace where nothing else in the world can bother me. But, do whatever makes you feel comfortable, since you aren't comfortable with baths, keep on showering.

Haha, I got tricked too! I thought you meant that you hadn't washed yourself in over 8 years. Great way to rope me in! I also prefer showers. I feel like I'm sitting in dirty water in a bath. The only time I do enjoy something similar to a bath is sitting in a hot tub, but I shower immediately after gettting out.

Couldn't you BUY a drain closer? I mainly take showers too, but occasionally take baths - to relax & pamper myself. I agree, though, otherwise, showers are much more efficient && take up less time/water. I also feel CLEANER when I step out of a shower (rather than when I take a bath - you have to think about it in terms of that you're sitting in dirty water!!). I think they're nice on occasion, but not for an everyday thing.

I can't stand taking a bath.. I *MUST* take showers. Sitting in a bath tub full of water that's getting dirty as I go just makes me feel nasty. It takes about 10-15 minutes just waiting for the thing to fill. I have bad knees and living in an apartment, I can't install a safety bar so that I can go to/from the sitting position without falling :(.. Also, sitting with half of my body in the water and the other half not just feels strange for me.. lol

This could be like a cat, who never take a bath in their eight years in lifetime. This is a great experienced in your life. others they are taking a bath once a month cos there is no water in their land only used for drinking.
