Showers are the default – and more practical – choice, but bathtubs<\/a> definitely give you an *upgraded*, more luxurious experience.<\/p>\n

Should you go for a shower<\/a>, or a bathtub?

If you\u2019re thinking of purchasing a bathtub, here are the advantages and disadvantages that tubs come with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
Pros<\/th>Cons<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
More relaxing<\/td>Takes up more space
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Easy to bathe babies or toddlers<\/td>Higher water consumption<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>More difficult to climb in and out<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>More expensive to install<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

The one biggest advantage of having a tub is being able to have a good, long soak to unwind at the end of a busy day. If you have babies (or are planning to), it\u2019s also easier to bathe them in a tub as compared to a shower.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, there are several disadvantages associated with bathtubs. Obviously, these take up more space, which make them impractical for most folks. The smallest bathtubs are around 72 inches long, so unless you have a bathroom that\u2019s bigger than average, it might be difficult for you to squeeze a tub into your bathroom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Space aside, you also consume more water when you take a bath in a tub, as compared to taking a shower. Tubs are also more expensive to install, and they\u2019re more difficult to climb in and out of, especially for older folks or folks with injuries.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=”17834″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” caption_pos=”below” remove_rounded=”yes” fullwidth=”no” overflow_mode=”none” link_target=”_self” lightbox=”no” intro_animation=”none” animation_delay=”200″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

Using A Shower: Pros & Cons<\/h2>\n

For those who are thinking of sticking with a shower, here are the advantages and disadvantages to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
Pros<\/th>Cons<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Takes up less space<\/td>Less relaxing
\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Lower water consumption<\/td>Not particularly easy to bathe babies or toddlers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Easy access <\/td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Cheaper to install<\/td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n

Showers are seen as the practical or sensible option because they\u2019re low-maintenance: they take up less space, consume less water, and are easy to climb in and out of. They\u2019re also much cheaper to install as compared to a bathtub.<\/p>\n

However, taking a shower is obviously nowhere as relaxing or enjoyable as having a long soak in your tub. (Although there are <\/i>ways to make your shower more luxurious – think rain showers<\/a>, jets, and other bells and whistles).<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

Your 3rd Option: A Shower-Tub Combo<\/h2>\n

If you can\u2019t decide between a shower and a tub, there\u2019s another option: a shower-tub combo. You see these pretty often in hotels, where there\u2019s a bathtub with a shower fixture.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_image image=”17835″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” caption_pos=”below” remove_rounded=”yes” fullwidth=”no” overflow_mode=”none” link_target=”_self” lightbox=”no” intro_animation=”none” animation_delay=”200″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

This gives you the best of both worlds because you can choose to shower or <\/i>take a bath, but it\u2019s still not an ideal option for old folks or folks with injuries. To mitigate this, you can install support rails, bath steps, or bath seats – these will all make it easier for someone to get in and out of the bath.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_divider type=”thin” text=”Go to top” top_margin=”0px” bottom_margin=”30px” fullwidth=”no” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n
