To go into more detail: I take a "clean myself" bath then a "soak/relax" bath. In the first I'll wash off the dirt, crud, and blood from the day. In the second I'll add nice smelling stuff, sink up to my ears, and relax. I'd totally pee in the first bath--it's all going down the drain soon anyway.

I'd pee into the first bath as it was draining in that scenario but I'm not so sure about during the bath

I see a marketing potential for people who sell bath water to gamerz. Multi tiered demand based on if you want water from the first or second bath.

Wait, you fill up the bathtub twice for one bath?

[–] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Dear me no, not fill. Maybe think of it as a sitting shower. I use a shower wand on a hose to wash, and depending on mood and whether I've recently colored my hair I may or not plug the drain (having a layer of water helps keep excess hair dye from staining the tub). If I plug the drain then the tub only fills up maybe an inch.

Then, if I need to relax or soak my muscles, I'll fill the tub with fresh water and soak up to my ears.

I don't stand for showers because reasons, but I call what I do a "bath" because to me, "shower"=standing or somehow elevated from the tub.

tbh everyone with a bath should do this just because it's vastly safer than standing on a wet surface, plus you don't need extra space for a separate shower

We're thinking of getting a shower stool for my partner because he has trouble standing for a full shower (long, curly hair takes him forever to deal with), but his legs don't fit gracefully in the tub.
