- A bath uses the same amount of water each time you use it. However, a shower uses more water the longer you use it. While a shower starts out the better option for faster showers, it can end up using more water for long showers. Which is better: A Shower or a Bath?

Bucket is the best
Yeah some how But I like shower for my hair
@@kellyteng4647 it's your choice
@@jayantamaharana5728 so true
they usually just hose me down in the yard
Literally the best bro
I feel like showers are usually quicker than baths and get the job done, but baths are just so much more relaxing.
Agreed! Although I do find showers to be relaxing too
Baths also help you sleep better.
As someone who grew up living in a dorm most of the time, I will never take a shower again if I can help it. A bath is one of the luxuries that people take for granted until the choice is taken away.
I enjoy a hot, nice smelling bubbly bath. So relaxing, especially before bed. I grew up with a tub and no shower. Mom still bathes and is almost 80 yrs old. No problems. Keep your tub clean and use a shower if you're really that filthy or sweaty. But for an average day, I love my tub.
a bath is a good option for parents with small kids - parents can wash a child without washing themselves. In Japan parents bathe with their children even when they are in high school. A bath also allows bathing with salts that are good for skin
They gana drown
@@sugarrollz3524 not if properly supervised. I’ve been bathed since birth and I’m alive
That's nasty and sick!!
and of course bath bombs and bubble bars!
❤️☺️🙏
I have a shower in a bath tub and I'm proud
I prefer showers in general. A nice shower chair can also help you get relaxed without needing a bath.
As someone who has a disability, and has some skin problems that causes redness. I've been using showers a lot. My mom called my doctor, and he says that I'm supposed to shower more than bathing. Also my friend kinda ruined baths for me. She said that all of your dirty germs are circling around you in the tub, so she never takes a bath. Only showers 🚿
That’s different i have HS (a skin condition) but baths are better because you can add Clorox in them which is extremely beneficial to the skin.
I have a bath, than have a 10 second shower afterwords (to wash the excess dirt of me.)
That's allot of water your using that's bad-
This is great!!!
My showering strategy is: 1st rinse, scrub, shampoo, thorough 2nd rinse. You dont need to run water the whole time.
I also don't understand why some people let water run all the time....
@@PheraAustiger because it feels good
🛁 is more relaxing but your dwelling in your own dirt whereas a 🚿 the dirt is washing off you
I bathe rather than shower. I’m a bigger guy (20 stone) and have a small shower bath, so it uses less water to have a bath. I only fill half the bath with water to bathe and find it much more relaxing than a shower, and I can spend 15 minute soaking, have a drink and put some music on. I also use tallow soap wrapped in paper wrapping so better than the cheap chemical ridden shower gel bottles that just fill the bin up with plastic. Going to start making my own soap too so there’s less environmental impact from transporting stuff
Very cool! How are you gonna make the soap?
I use bucket for body shower(the temperature is depend the pipe sometimes its warm sometimes its cold )
If I wash my head or hair I use shower because its more cleaner and make my hair smoother. And I use cool water.
I use bath tub when I feel so hot or fuss or anything like that. Cool water again.
I use hot shower when I sick or body feeling uncomfortable. So yeah this my naked story.
Stopped showering a year ago, now only take baths. So much more fun & you get much cleaner
I agree with you that baths are fund but….. Did you even watch the video? It’s more hygienic to shower because they evenly distribute water over your body and whisk contaminated water out of sight.
I bath because it’s relaxing
But it won’t be relaxing when you realize you are laying in your own dirt
@@michelanzolin6404 thats why you can rinse your self
Which do you think is best? If you enjoyed this video, please consider subscribing!
I think bathing in Rain is best.
@@yuvrajkumar2048 Hopefully there isn't a drought!
@Dead sick world bruh It happens!
Showers. 🚿
As long as you’re cleaning your body you’re fine it doesn’t matter
From the chances of water damage and cost, I prefer tubs over wood floors. Leaks are hard to detect on shower pans or walls. I see nightmare water damage in showers all the time. I have a waking shower in the first concrete floor and bath in the second floor with pluming access panned for pipes and tub inspection.
Shower, hands down. Faster, cleaner, better looking, more practical. ;)
To be Honest I dislike baths cuz you're sitting in own filth, I like showers better because it's faster.
Most people seem to prefer showers. Baths can be nice though if you are already clean!
@@GoGreenPost Well, hot tubs, or tubs with massage bubble/spa is something else, and actually awesome and relaxing. Plus you are not bathing in your own filth, plus is useful. But ordinary bathtubs for homes, no thanks.
I suppose that’s why people in Japan first take a shower before taking a bath! I’d love to know what other topics you’d like to learn more about!
Nope. Baths all day long. Showers are uncomfortable and chore-like - they're all about rubbing fast, standing, and ultimately not made for human biology - animals are not evolved to wash in controlled streams of water hitting your skin, but far more so in slow moving bodies of water. Baths are relaxing, comfortable and yes, slower, but far more enjoyable and at least just as hygienic. Did you know that showers actually damage your skin and wash away its natural oils and "good bacteria" which act as a protective barrier against foreign bacteria and other dangers? This is especially bad for your face, and it doesn't happen even nearly as much if one bathes instead (in fact warm baths were proven to gently exfoliate skin and even have therapeutic effects and reduce stress and fatigue) - it's just that your body, like the body of any animal, did not evolve to wash under waterfalls, so your skin is not naturally equipped to deal with powerful jets of water and fast scrubbing everywhere...
In the end it's a matter of preference, but I find that showers have no real advantage except expediency. The whole "bathing in your own filth" myth is just stupid, as if one takes baths daily or even once in 2 or 3 days there won't be much "filth" to speak of (unless you rolled in mud or something, after which no sane person would bathe...) and sweat and residue on your skin is just as easily washed away by a body of hot water and some soap/shampoo as it is by a shower...
Edit: Finally, this is just anecdotal so don't take it as an objective argument, but I found that when I showered I needed to do it daily to have no body odors and just generally "feel clean", whereas when I do my usual and I just bathe doing it twice a week is enough to keep my body just as clean as showering daily did - it might have something to do with the skin being dried more by showers and therefore producing more sweat/oils to recover than after baths, but if you only do one bath instead of 3 showers you certainly make up for the extra time and waste a lot less water...
The best way for me is the Balti (bucket) and Lota (tumbler) way, which is really popular here in India. And i think it's the most sustainable and cleansing?
I'm not familiar with the cleansing ability of a bucket and water, but it seems like it would use less water and energy than a shower or bath.
@@GoGreenPost it really does 😂😂
😂😂
@@GoGreenPost it so true I love for regular bath but when I wash my hair I prefer shower the water
YESSSS SKXODDOD
One angle that you didn't consider is that baths may have a negative effect on vaginal health. Using a bunch of products on your lady parts can cause an imbalance of the delicate balance of organisms down there. For example, a yeast infection. Furthermore, sometime bath water can briefly be entrapped in your v a g i n a. I found this out when it happened to me and I googled, I was horrified. It's certainly not good to have the soapy water INSIDE of there. It is very rare, but possible.
baths are relaxing comfotrble helps get rid of bits from bugs or in general if you get hurt i t hink helps you when your sick i get sick alot once i used 7 baths in 1 day bc of that and helped ALOT baths are 10/10 thats MY OPINIPN
Can’t argue with that!
baths only. always
Showering for sure!
Great video btw, keep doing these amazing job!:)
Thank you so much! I’m happy you liked it! I’d love to know what other videos you’d like to learn about.
Yeah I need more this type of video
@@kellyteng4647 I'm happy to hear that! Are there certain topics you're interested in learning more about?
@@GoGreenPost I would like to learn laptops vs computer I just don't understand the difference of these my friend all say it 2 different thing
Im more of a shower person now i sorta consider baths as more of a relaxation method and it does seem sitting in a bath is just sitting in your filth
That’s what I said! Yeah, I stink a lot quicker after taking a bath because you bathe in your dirt while in a shower the dirt goes down the drain, and plus I take longer in a bath than in a shower, so I also prefer showers.
Shower for sure
Imagine bathing in a pool of your own filth
This post was made by the shower gang
Wen u use soap the dirt doesn't stick on u
Lol
@@flexfreed4684 I grew up with only a tub. We didn't have a shower. I never felt dirty and even though my own home has a shower, I still enjoy a hot, nice smelling bubbly bath. So relaxing. Plus, who gets that filthy to worry about a bath? If I ever got that dirty, then I can shower.
A bath is meant for relaxing in a warm body of water. A shower is for cleaning. We take showers before sitting in the bath tub
I prefer showers. Baths make you stink quicker since you’re laying in all of the dirt you wash off, while showers wash all of your dirt down the drain, so you smell good longer after you take a shower, and baths make you greasy a lot quicker while showers keep you less greasy for longer. Plus, showers give me more energy than baths for some reason, so showers are beneficial for days that I am tired from not getting good sleep. I only take baths whenever I really have to shave my legs (I’m a female), only because I don’t want to bend over to shave especially since my dad’s side of the family has back problems which means an increased chance for me to get back problems as well. I take longer in a bath than in a shower, and patience isn’t my strong suit so that’s another reason I love showers. I get out of the shower faster AND it takes me longer to start stinking than a bath does! Also, I despise bubble baths, which is another reason I hate baths. I mean, _how_ do people get the bubbles off of them? I don’t want those things sticking to my skin when I get out of the bath, and I don’t want them all over my towel either!
Three ways I have found to reduce water consumption in the shower:
Take shorter showers.
Use just soap (no need for shampoo or conditioner)
Use an water saving shower head - I use the original Showery EcoFlow here : czcams.com/video/pPI2Qt3cMsY/video.html
I need shampoo
Ew bro ur hair is gonna be all oily and gross
We need shampoo and conditioner
I take about 8-10 minutes in the shower. The water is not flowing throughout the duration, I turn it off while lathering and turn it back on to rinse off the soap.
Baths get u clean clean
I definitely shower
So it would be better to have big bathroom if you want to have both shower and bathtub
You could have both together. You stand in the tub to take a shower. If you want them to be different for the clean factor that’s an option
@@GoGreenPost my parents used to have bathtub and when we would want to take a shower we would stand up, the problems was that the water would go everywhere when someone would take a bath so they decided to remove bathtub and replace it with a shower
That’s so good
i rinse off first in shower then i turn bath on and wash then while bath is draining i turn shower back on to rerinse take longer but i look forward to everytime
Bathtub
Bath for me
A teaspoon of water always gets the job done
Both
fair enough!
i use bucket and a cup less water usage an old indian trick
Mexican too
Sink is the best
We used container with TABO.
What is TABO anyway
We mostly have showers in hawaii
Hawaii is my favorite place on the planet. Happy to see this video reach you there!
You should mention the volumes in centigrade given that the vast majority of the world uses centigrade.
Shower
I take a shower for 20 minutes😳
Shower!!!
Team shower, oh yeah!!
In india we only use 1 bucket of water for 1 person approx 5 gallon water
Wow I try this before but it doesn't not work to me unless its was a soapless bath
Yea india has 1.5 billion poopers
😂
Same w bengladeshi 😎
@@MoneyMan28 and telemarketing scammers
I used to take baths now I take showers
Same
Great becuase my bathroom is a bath shower hybrid
Same here!
same, mines is a hybrid, I have a bathtub and a shower
Bruh fuck all the math. Just take a shower and plug the drain and see how much water accumulates.
Lol that works too! But you also would need to time it so you know how long you have each time so that you don’t have to stand in a pool of water each shower. Doing the math also let’s you know how much water you’re using if you’re interested!
@@GoGreenPost I timed a 12 minute shower (low flow head) with my bathtub drain plugged. I got about 2/3 of my normal fill. Did you mention that you should always fill a tub while you're sitting in it? If you fill it all the way up to the overflow drain, you be wasting more water when you sit down and your bodyweight displaces the water. You'll be spilling water down the overflow drain.
I also mentioned in another comment, how to skip a shower while staying relatively clean. Everytime you skip a shower day, you're banking a long hot soak in the bath for the next day.
Another tip would be to use only biodegradable liquid Castile soap for your hair and body. It washes off super clean and very quickly. This would greatly reduce your shower times, because we spend a lot of our shower time washing off slippery soaps and shampoos. Castile soap leaves very little residue and it washes off almost immediately. If you can cut your shower times in half, you could reason that you've earned yourself a one bath for every two showers.
I'm finishing up a one hour bath as I write this. Ha ha!
Shower is best
Why are tubs popular in Japan?
Tradition I suppose. In home bath existed long before piped water or showers and it must have just stuck around.
Bath is better
Rivers are better.
😂😂
That’s a latta agua
I love u bathup
I use my ssliva collect enough in a bucket

Thank you. So, if you have long hair, you probably want a bath.
My shower is all clogged up and useless anyways.
the sink
Lol 😅😆😆
I recycle half the bath tub. Hehe
I bet that saves a lot of water! How do you do that?
Hey I purify the water for my plants it save me so much
@@kellyteng4647 That's sounds like a great way to reuse water!
@@GoGreenPost yeah
I prefer using baby wipes.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Average Shower is 8 minutes? That doesn't sound right lol
Lol. It could be. I thought it sounded a bit low, but I guess there are a lot of people that take really quick showers. But really the point of the video is to give you the knowledge to figure out which is best in your home.
🤣🤣🤣 I understand, great video btw
Thank you very much!
And also, the shower isn't on the whole time one is in there.
Shower i only have shower
Baths
🛁
Showweerrr
I mean this clearly flips if you don’t fill the bath up to like 90%…
It depends on the size of your tub, but if you fill your tub less than for sure you can use less water that way. Assuming your showers are long enough of course.
uuuuuh! who takes a bath without shower after ? I dont !
Normal people
shower all the way.
Am i the only one who showers in a bathtub
Na, sink dominates.
Weird. South east Asian wash their hair and entire body with soap and water without dipping their body in water daily hence they don't smell bad 😂😂😂😂😂
Baths is standing on you dirty water
Baths are disgusting. If you wanna soak get into a jacuzzi. Otherwise you're perpetuating archaic, unpractical and frustratingly difficult to maintain structurally ugly garbage someone else will have to deal with
