In the summer I usually take cool showers but the rest of the year I prefer warm baths, even though I get sleepy and have to take a nap afterwards.

As long as you don't fall asleep in the bath.

Neither. But if I have to choose one I'd say shower. Baths are kinda gross.

I prefer hot showers, because I find them to be very relaxing.

Bath because showers spray water in my face.

I do wash my face but I do it with a flannel. Not with water spraying everywhere and getting in my eyes.

It's esp bad cos the water temperature is uncontrollable - what is nice on the body isn't nice on the face. That's true for parts of the body too, some are more sensitive than others.

We got rid of the bath in a bathroom renovation so I don't have a choice anymore lol But I prefer a shower anyway. I tend to like it hot however, in the summer when the air is hot I do go for a cooler temp water. Still warm but so it's "refreshing" from the summer heat.

I am with Saddam Hussein because I am a member of the Baathist Party!

Baths should be mandatory! And anyone advocating showers should be...liquidated!

I had exclusively baths when I was young, then when I was growing up into my teens I was given the option of shower or bath depending on what I felt like. I ended up sticking with showers into adulthood. I like them relatively hot.

I don't do hot in a shower. My Mum says she doesn't do hot but when I get to the shower after her the water is scorchingly hot to me... The problem witn showers is getting clean all over. I did try doing a handstand once but it has two major drawbacks... One is that my nose was collecting aater and the other is it is a bit dangerous, so I had to abandon the idea for safety... I nearly did myself quite an injury.
To be honest, I do prefer a bath. I try to get in the bath with the water as warm as I can use (Which is cooler then other people seem to be able to stand) and then bath myself which usually I find someone saying "Haven't you finished yet? It has been four hours!" or words like that. Showers are usually quicker as I don't usually spend any more then an hour, as it is tiring standing up.
I try not to bath or shower that often though as it is expensive with electricity. I can't see how showers are said to be cheaper, as baths do seem to be the cheaper option... Unless you are my mum who can take a shower in under five minutes. It takes me that long to get the heat setting right and find the soap! I think she goes in dry and comes out dry with only a few drips of water landing on her to do that! :lol:

Shower, definitely... though that might be just a matter of what I'm used to. I mean, I haven't bathed since 1999 or 2000. We had little plastic bath tubs for kids back then that me and my sister played in, but I haven't taken a bath once since I out grew them. Sometimes when I go to a hotel, there's a bathtub in the room, but I've never actually used it for bathing since I'm afraid of slipping while getting in or out... but maybe I could try next time.

Shower.
Don't wash your face with the same water that your arse is sitting in.

Hot baths. I find baths relaxing. When I shower I find I don't wash properly. I prefer to give my body a good soak.

I prefer warm showers but I like warm baths too, especially when I'm sick. I'm not able to take baths in my apartment cuz the tub is small.

I like them both as much as each other, depending on what I feel like more. :)
