Which one do you prefer? Shower, Bath Tub or Jacuzzi?

Jacuzzi Spa - I had a jacuzzi spa at Holiday Inn Hotel, Malacca.
It is full of roses petals with aromatherapy scents :)

In actual fact I love to have them all. If I am rushing in the morning to work, I would prefer a shower. However, during weekend, or in the evening, a hot bubble bath with aromatherapy scent will be excellent! I would love to have a jacuzzi in my house But it will cost a fortune...lol So, what do you have at home, shower or bath tub? My house only have shower unit... Do share your views and preference..happy myLotting

If I am in a rush, a shower is best. If I have all the time in the world, I would rather have a nice long soak in a bath tub or in a jacuzzi. Long bath, hot water, bath salts and I am in heaven! Yes that is until the phone rings and cut short the fun! Some people just douse themselves with buckets of cold water. Could be fun too;especially if you are bathing by a well.

Dear gracefuldove, Wow, you really know how to enjoy life. Good, keep it up! Oh yes, it reminds me when we are living in the estate. We have to take bath with buckets of cold water. It really wakes us up! Nowadays we are more blessed with hot shower, bath tub and at times jacuzzi.... - heavenly! I was hoping to go to Avillion and enjoy some wonderful long bath tub / jacuzzi there..LOL Btw, I won't be going to AGM tomorrow (29/9/09)

You should turn off the phone next time so it won't ruin the bath fun.

Hello Iriene, I have two bath room at home. But we don't have any bath tub. Both the bathrooms here are just the shower unit. i will prefer shower unit as it is more convenience and I get no time to enjoy my bath on my daily routine, LOL. Perhaps I can have bath tub once in a while while we get for holidays stay in the hotels. But I don't like it.. It is about the hygiene reason. Even in 4 star hotels, I still see the bath tub isn't that clean enough for me to lie on it. I have the only best experience in HArd Rock Hotel in Bali. I like the hotel room and so to its bath room with Jacuzzi. Very Very clean and like new! My daughter even SWIM in the Jacuzzi

Hi Iriene, Bali is a nice place. When we plan to go there , my Father in law also worry so much about the bombing even it had happen so long time ago, he even asked us not to go near the beach because of the Tsunami happened years back.. Ops, you get to know today's latest news... There is another Tsunami happen? Okay, back to the hotel bath tub. The Bali Hardrock is so nice, I just like theme hotel. Do you know that in Penang we had the first HArd Rock Hotel in our country? Perhaps you can try the Hard rock Hotel bath tub at Penang! My hub and I is so particular when come to get things for our kids. The kid insist want bath tub, we could only wash the whole bath tub again and again before they can soak in the hotel bath tub. That is why I don't like to stay at OLD hotels. I will try the hotel you mentioned. Thanks for your suggestion.

Dear vingyan, Thanks for the prompt reply, truly appreciate it! Yes, I heard of the tsunami in Samoa and the earth quake in Indonesia. One thing I noticed, since year 2001, the are so many natural disasters and man-made disasters happening around the globe including financial crisis. Therefore, appreciate life and nature as much as possible :) Thanks for the information on HardRock Hotel Penang.. I believe it is quite costly...will goole on it later

I get into the shower most of the time since it's faster. On a cold winter night, I will sit in our tub and soak my cold feet. Love to relax in a tub of warm to hot water. We have a shower in one bathroom and in the other bathroom we have a shower/tub. The third bathroom doesn't have a shower or tub.

I always looking to have one in my house but unfortunately all the bathrooms in my house are too small to fix a bathtub... Hmm, okay..let us switch our bathroom so that I can enjoy the bathtub..LOL (just joking!)

Shower is good if I am in a hurry. In fact, we only have shower at home. Still I spend at least 10 minutes in there for each shower. I love bathtub too. It's good to relax in the warm water, especially after stressful day. Probably that's why mom against the idea on having one. I never dream having a jacuzzi in the house. It too posh and cost a fortune. I can spend the money somewhere else.

Free SPA~~~ I love bathtub at hotel too and it seem quite impossible to make sure my younger siblings don't spend too much time inside. They can stay in it forever. It's annoying since we're on holiday and don't pay for the vacation to be in a bathtub alone.

Dear prinzcy, The above photo is a jacuzzi for couple.... aromatic rose & milk bath which will soothe your body & mind! I enjoyed the spa very much. The Tea Tree Spa specialist/therapist are very friendly especially Renny & Mandy. This is my first taste of luxury spa. From now on, after this Holiday Inn Malacc, I will set my eyes on spa holiday :D Everyone should try... go for it! Oh yes, it is free, I won it from playing a game called "Pandora's Box" by breaking the codes. Hahaha, children loves bath tub very much. That's why my son is very happy if the hotel room have bathtub. He will soaked and play the water, making waves and plays the bubble! Thanks and happy myLotting. Do keep in touch

Dear prinzcy, Yes, you are right! It is not easy to maintain a jacuzzi at home. We will only enjoy this 'luxury' at a spa or hotel...(hopefully can get FREE spa) My bathroom is too small to put up a bath tub. My son loves bath tub very much. He will be very excited when we go to the hotel. Most hotel have a bathtub with shower facility. However, some resort type hotel only have shower unit. My son will normally check the bathroom once enter the hotel room to check whether there is a bathtub since he loves it. You will hear this : "Mummy, got bath tub..YEAH!" or this :~ "Mummy, got shower no bathtub "

Well the bathtub in our house is kid sized. If I tried to bathe in it, I would have to hold my knees to my chest, or lay on my back with my legs up against the wall. Only time I've ever been in a hot tub was on vacation when I was a kid, at a Holiday Inn hotel. Its great when you have to fart. Hides the bubbles.

I haven't tried Jacuzzi yet but it looks really interesting so I want to try it someday. For now, my choice only revolves around shower and bath tub. I can say that I prefer shower because it doesn't waste too much water. I just use what my body needs. While on bath tub, you have to fill up the entire tub first then you'd drain so much water afterwards.

Dear IMEzekieL, I agree with you, taking bath in the bath tub consume more water. We fill up the bath tub and soak in it and wash with soap/shower gel. At times we make bubble bath. We later take another shower to clean away all the soap. It will double the water used. A fast shower use less water and can wash our hair too. However, once in awhile indulge ourselves with nice hot bubble bath is a great way to relax.. Thanks for sharing and do keep in touch!

We can shampoo and wash our hair at the same time. Even if we take bubble bath in the bath tub, we still need a shower later to rinse the soap away. My bathroom is too small to put up a bath tub.

I prefer showers most of the time because they are quick. Often, a quick shower is all I can do because tub bathing needs a little more time to enjoy it. In addition, I cannot really stay immersed in hot baths for a long time because of my varicose veins. Medically speaking, hot baths are not advised. So, there's no point in having baths. Jacuzzi? We have one at home because of my husband's back problem (he was operated with a back problem) and he uses it to massage his back or to relieve his backaches. The children of course love to play in the bathtub while the jacuzzi is running.

mandi.bathe - malaysian traditional style...
i've never used a jacuzzi before so i cant comment.. but i do love the tub.. unfortunately my home doesnt have the tub, either... so i only use the shower.. which actually very convenient and fast.. i think even if i have a tub at home.. i wont get to use it a lot.. since i am always rushing here and there... ohhh... there's another 'bathing style' practiced by our people... we collect the water in a container - use a small 'pail' and pour water on ourselves - that's the 'traditional' way - the way our ancestors used to bathe when there was no 'running water' and used 'water-wells' and such.. but this 'bathing style' is still practiced in some houses - But, we dont have anymore wells!! - they have 'proper' bathrooms but they collect the 'tap water' in a big container...

Taking those really 'cold' bath in the morning before going to school is really 'wakes us up' When I was living in the estate, I dare not take the cold bath. So, my mum will boil a kettle of water to mix it for me. During the olden days, even the water is boil using woods. Thanks for sharing, do keep in touch!

Hi Iriene, How I wish my house have a jacuzzi,then I can enjoy myself everyday. Too bad, my house only have normal shower unit,but I seldom use that, I prefer to get a pail of water for my shower.I am getting used to it since I am a kid, my house in Indonesia don't have shower unit too. Every bathroom will have a bath tub to store water,so everytime need a water for shower,just get it from the bath tub.
