After all, rugby players bath together after every match.
I've often wondered about their motivation for doing so!
(Er, you're not a rugby player, are you!)

Re: Bath Or Shower?
I'm not sure why the poster thinks you can't wash properly in a shower! Bit odd, that. I rarely take a bath but that's mainly because it's too small to stretch out, so I've usually got my knees bent which isn't very relaxing. Also I get bored just sitting there with the water cooling round me and after 5 minutes I just want to get out. A shower's quicker - and not chilly at all in a heated bathroom. It's also easier to wash my hair at the same time.Oh yes, a bath uses much more water too, another plus for the shower option.
