You're supposed to clean your arsehole in the toilet not the shower, didn't your parents toilet train you?

Get a bidet shower fitted next to the toilet, much more hygienic than toilet paper - the idea of smearing shit over your bottom with paper is an unpleasant concept but removing it in the bath water that you are lying in is positively disgusting.

You can buy the fittings on Amazon or from Bunnings cheap enough, easy to connect to the inlet of your toilet.

Re: bath or shower?

If you have a bath everyday, the water is clean enough to drink, albeit a tad soapy.

Re: bath or shower?

Both.

Shower during the week but I do love a bath on a Saturday evening, gives me a chance to scrub me feet without slipping over.

It also helps ease the arthritis in my hips and back.

I did consider having the bath removed and a big shower fitted a while back but I'd miss the bath so will keep it for as long as I'm capable of getting in it.

Re: bath or shower?

I used to love wallowing in a bath but sadly time has taken it's toll and I was unable to 'get my leg' over and climb into it (Unable to get my leg over at all now) I now have a walk in shower only.

Re: bath or shower?

Removing the bath/baths or fitting a wet room devalues your house.
It is less desirable to families who want a bath, to bath their children.

Re: bath or shower?

I can't function without my daily shower but I like a bath too to laze in especially if I'm not feeling well.

If you want a long soak, go to a public swimming pool or, heaven forbid the sea or a river.
What rubbish!
I don’t get into a bath with a soiled bottom, that’s disgusting! I probably only use the same amount of water that you use in a shower, l don’t like deep baths.
Some ‘showerers’ let the water run first, for ages and stand under it for ages too.
The very thought of going into a public pool abhors me. There is multi people faecal matter in the pool water and gallons of other people’s urine in the water.
Just add the saliva, snot, spit, phlegm, dead body cells, body oils from multi people.
No Thanks, l’ll stick to my bath. At least, l won’t get virus’s or ear infections from my own bath water!

Not so much in our case art..ours is a ( small) bungalow which ,if we decide to sell, would be aimed at the older person, houses in our area usually sell quickly as there’s a mixture of property
