My whole life I’ve been told that if you fall asleep in the bath then you’ll drown, or something. But is this true? I’m a grown ass adult I think I’d just wake up if my head fell under water

    This thread is wild simply because I don’t know any adult humans who actually take baths, and I have honestly always assumed the reason they exist at all is for washing small children.

      I near exclusively take bubble baths. Some nice epsom salt, soft music, chamomile tea. It’s the best!

      You should try it, maybe you’d be less of a judgey sour puss.

      They’re relaxing for most people. I’m too tall and don’t thermoregulate well enough anymore for them to be anything other than squeezing into a small space where I get dizzy from the heat, but it’s a common form of relaxation

          It’s not the same it is way better.

          Not the shower/tub combo bath, those kinda suck, but a jacuzzi or soaking tub with a book is excellent.

            I use a shower/tub combo but its not the really small modern ones were its just a pointless lip. Its still way great to soak for an hour or so.

              I roughed it like that in college with a book and a hookah, but a little bigger is a lot better to me if you’re average height or taller. Otherwise it’s tough to get knees and nipples in the water at the same time.

                yeah I cannot do that. I am a bit jelly but still it is better than nothing. I did dream to rennovate for disability and getting one of the walk ins was going to be part of that but thats looking like its unlikely it will happen. I realize those are to expensive for what they are but they also just don’t have competition really.
