The advantages and disadvantages are individual. I have a thread on Living With Arthritis 'Bath or Shower or....' which has some comments. I think it went up about 6-9 months ago. Maybe if you put it in the search engine.

    I haven't been able to get in and out of a bath for many years. I do miss them but voted for shower because it is fast and easier to wash my hair.

    It's definitely a bath for me, although I do have a shower when time is limited. c055.gif

    But there's nothing quite as relaxing as having a long luxurious soak in the bath with lots of perfumed bubbles.

    I have a wonderful bath lift which I bought on E*** very cheaply to get me in and out without any effort. My grand-daughters love to take turns to sit on it and press the remote control which came with it. They say,"Going down" and "Coming up" as though in a lift, and then boast about it to all their friends. It must be the new status symbol :lol:

    While relaxing in the bath, I let my mind wander and think through any problems and ways of solving them. I couldn't possibly do this in the shower. The only trouble is that I sometimes fall asleep and then wake up all wrinkly in luke-warm water. :o

    I love baths but as I can't get in and out without help I always shower, so I voted shower.

    Some five years ago we had a new bathroom fitted with new bath and shower cubicle. The bath is still unused. I can slip in and out of the shower in minutes and usually have one morning and night.

    I used to love sitting in a bath full of bubbles but, now, I get bored and can't wait to et out so I'm voting shower as it's much quicker.

    I'm just like you Applerose. I used to sit and soak for ages in a bath e023.gif but when I had to wait for someone else to get me out I used to have a wash and then shout for help after less than 5 minutes. Just shows that I need to be in control to enjoy something to the full :D
