Bath or shower? What's better?

Bath or shower? What's better? Sometimes it seems that they divided people into two camps with different needs and temperaments. How to make the right choice?

A bath is better than a shower - is that so?

The bath is set to rest, it is pleasant to lie down after a hard day, turn on your favorite music and arrange the candles, or arrange a romantic evening for the second half - with champagne and massage. It becomes a pool for kids, turning into an exciting play area.. Numerous shelves and cabinets will help hide all kinds of shampoos and creams. Do not forget about washing! Large items are convenient to wash in large containers. And even in the period of disconnection of water in the bath is very convenient to recruit a "strategic reserve".

Is the shower so fast to lose? Not!Modern manufacturers of shower stalls attract consumers with interesting offers with unique operating modes:

"Turkish sauna" - at the expense of the steam generator creates the effect of the steam room, improving metabolism and cleansing the pores.
Rain shower - the special nozzle sprays water with the gentle splashes imitating the real rain.
Aromatherapy - there is a separation for aromatic substances; mixing with hot steam, they create a delightful mood.
Vertical hydromassage - helps to arrange a massage for the back, legs and neck area.
LED lights - create original visual effects and lift your spirits.
Ultraviolet - will destroy all pathogenic microbes.
Shampoo dispenser - instead of thousands of bottles, manufacturers offer to use gels and balms through dispensers on the inner wall.

There is the concept of chromotherapy - treatment with light, so showers with LEDs will have a beneficial effect on health.

Let's start with the bath. Its main advantages are:

water can be mixed with aromatic salts, foams, oils. Adding medicinal herbs will help to carry out cosmetic procedures;
great for bathing kids;
it is easier to wash away all the dirt from the body and wash large items;
it is more suitable for bathing pets;
with a slight movement of the hand and a special nozzle turns into a shower;
quick and easy installation.

For balance, add cons:

large sizes - because of this, they are removed;
significant water consumption;
ban on use in a number of diseases;
in the absence of rubber mats, the risk of injury increases;
uncomfortable for older people, they better use sedentary models.

The advantages of a shower stall:

compactness. They can be installed even in the smallest bathrooms;
pallets are made of special non-slip material, which reduces the risk of injury;
modern models have a lot of additional functions, and even special benches for the elderly;
microbes are immediately washed into the drain;
no need to wait for filling, you can immediately get up and wash;
under the shower is better to wash your hair.

Disadvantages:

Some options work only with sufficient water pressure;
muscles do not relax;
after each procedure, it is necessary to grind all surfaces, otherwise a raid is formed;
most often the price is higher;
Installation will require the skills of experienced installers;
no opportunity to lie down;
quite difficult to bathe children and pets.

After training, you need to take a bath, not a shower! Only warming up in hot water will help wash away sweat and relax muscles.

How to choose if you want a bath and shower?

Installing a bath or shower is a time-consuming procedure that you will not want to repeat for many years, which is why it is so important to make the right decision and not regret it in the future. As an alternative, you can consider buying a booth with a deep tray, it is convenient to bathe children in it.

And the most, perhaps, economical option to reconcile the two opposing camps - is to put a good bath of durable material, hang a beautiful curtain and attach a special shower head.
