The last bath I took was probably at least ten years ago. (Not counting swimming in a lake or pool or anything like that)
By bath do you mean washing yourself in general, or the act of sitting in a tub of water?
the latter
WHAT?
The US has more of a shower culture than a bath culture. I havenβt taken a bath in over a decade, but I shower after my daily exercise.
Not the person you are responding to, but here in the US, we typically don't take baths and instead shower. I usually only take a bath if I am sick and want to soak in warm water to relax.
Same for central europe.
There's a couple of mildly funny interactions in here. Question in the reverse, does that mean you're often showering without a full scrub (a rinse, we'd call it) regularly?
Once a day until it gets into sweaty season, then whatever i need to maintaindecorum.
I had a bath bath last year, I think?
The shower I'm talking about is actually a full shower, twice a day. Where I live, a quick shower with just water is when you're at home and you can't take a full shower because of the heat, so you stay in the backyard, with a swimming pool, a shower, or you take a quick dip with water to ease the heat.
I was wrong, I only had a bath when I was a child. I'm sorry.
Most of the tubs I've had in america are too small for me to actually use. Both too shallow and too short. Half my body would be out of the water.
My last bath was also around 10 years ago in a hotel that had a nice deep tub.
