Do you use a "dipper" when taking a bath? (Pinoy's "TABO")

I havent seen such a thing until now, why are people using it if they have showers? Does it has something to do with religion ?

Yeah!. :) But if shower is available, I don't need the TABO. You know sometimes, although there's this thing from the toilet seat to wash your behind whenever you do the "number 2" thing... i still somethings look for a TABO... you know... a trade mark of being a filipino. :)

i am a filipino. and yes, like most filipino do, i use the what you call dipper (thanks. i knew just now that it's called dipper in english. hehe). people from other countries find this unusual. my boyfriend was introduced to this way of taking a bath when he knew me (he is from sweden). i don't think if he really got my point when we were talking about it before online. but for sure, he understood when he got here last year and saw the dipper and the basin and how these two are partners for most filipinos especially when taking a bath. ever since i was a little child, i have been using the dipper-basin team up when bathing. when i was growing up, i still use them. when i went to college and went to a dormitory, i still use them there. now, i still do. perhaps, it's a part of my life already. i wonder if they have this, too in sweden because i will soon start a new life with my boyfriend there. haha! i might look funny. but if they don't have a dipper-basin thing there, i will surely miss it!
