A Nation of Shower Lovers!

The Results Are In!

Did you know that a recent UK survey revealed nearly 60% of Brits prefer showers to baths, officially making us a nation of shower enthusiasts!

Why do we adore showers? Here are some key reasons:

• Convenience - With our rushed lifestyles, the ability to quickly hop in and out of a shower is a significant advantage. Filling a bathtub can be time-consuming.
• Cleanliness - It's commonly understood that while baths may be relaxing, you're sitting in the same water. Showers offer constant water renewal, with dirty water draining away. The direct water flow is more effective at removing dirt, and modern shower heads offer various options.
• Mental Health Benefits - Learn more in our 'Are Cold Showers Beneficial to You?' blog.
• Feeling More Alert - Showers have a way of waking you up and preparing you for the day ahead. The sensation of water on your face and the ability to adjust the temperature and flow can be invigorating.
• Cost-Effectiveness - Showers use about a third of the water compared to baths, saving on both water and energy bills.

While we may have a slight preference for showers, we recognise that the shower versus bath debate ultimately boils down to personal choice. It depends on whether you prioritise relaxation over efficiency, or what facilities you have at home. If you're fortunate enough to have both a bath and a shower, you can mix up your routine. Perhaps taking showers six times a week and indulging in a relaxing bath once a week sounds like a nice balance and enables you to have a relaxing treat.
