How Long Do You Take a Bath?

If I'm in a hurry, it takes 15 min to take a shower but on the average, it takes about 30 min only.

Usually about 20 minutes; that's about how long it takes my hot water heater to run out, LOL

Five minutes if I'm in a hurry, an hour if I want to waste water.

It takes me about 30 to 40 mins. I've always been slow when it comes to bathing.

I take the longest showers ever... I'm usually in there for, like, 45 mins to an hour. Baths, too, but I feel bad about that because baths can really dry out your skin unless you have lots of oils in there.

when im really sad or a little depressed i take longer baths maybe the cleansing thing works psychologically too..

I love taking baths I will stay in for a hr as long as no one will mess with me but if I am in there longer in 30 min my hubby come looking for me and ask me why I keep turn the water on and off. You know once it gets cold I like to make it hot again !

Does any one know of any really nice bubble baths or bath gels? Especially ones with moisturizing components?

I take shorter baths during the day, but usually take a long bubbly bath for 30 minutes a night. My water is always steaming hot and I usually have candles burning. It is my favorite time of the night.

I can be in and out in 10 minutes when I want to be, but if I'm stressed out I take a book in and can laze there for up to an hour.

I normally take showers, but when I take a bath it lasts about 30-45 mins.

I used to take really long baths until the baby came into the picture. Now I think I am down to about 30 minutes. I guess that is still pretty long huh?

I take showers to get clean and baths to pamper myself. I have what I call "Me Days" where I give myself a facial, manicure and pedicure, and take long relaxing oil or bubble baths, depending on my mood. It's just an overall spa day at home. Since I can't afford a real spa day, but it really is a wonderful way to reduce daily stress and give you prospective. I recommend it for anyone.

Johnson and Johnsons baby bath is never drying. And I think baby Magic has some nice baby bath products. Iususallyhead towards the bath department and see whichones have lanolin, aloe and vitamin E.

Husbands don't seem to understand that once the water gets cold that does not mean it is time to get out. it means it is time for you to warm the water which gives him time to go and throw your towel and housecoat into the dryer so they are warm and cozy when you are finished. Some guys don't seem to get this concept....sheesh!
