I like a hot bath. I've got the standard bath/shower combo that's in every apartment, which is nice and all, but I'd like it if I could stretch out rather than having to stay in a semi-foetal position the entire time. Bubble jets would also be cool. But I have absolutely no clue where you'd go for that experience. Bathhouses are deceptively named- there's nothing but horny uncles there. The only place I can think of where you could enjoy a big tub would be in a luxury suite at a hotel, but paying for a night at a fancy hotel when I just want to take a bath isn't an expenditure I can justify. Does anyone know something I don't?
idk but I'm real fucking sick of my bath tub, I'm only 5'11 and not THAT fat but even at its highest level the water still does not fully cover my stomach/chest, and laying down with this 90 degree angle to the wall = my fucking neck hurts
5'11 gang checking in and its either straight legs sitting up or hugging them to my chest so I can submerge my torso. I mostly just soak my legs these days with epsom salts because I walk a lot at work and the muscles need the attention. I do a quick cold shower afterward to get the rest. I try to do an epsom salt soak a couple times a year but I have to do it when I'm housesitting for my folks/sister because I only have a standing shower at home.
Still it feels really good to soak and scrub off the outer layer of skin. I feel so damn clean after.
standing shower at home.
every shower is also a sitting shower as long as it's clean enough
Illegal life hack: Rich people have really nice houses, but rarely occupy them full time! :think-about-it:
My first apartment had a hot tub and I’ve missed it ever since
When I was a teenager my mom's apartment had a huge bath tub. Could easily fit a couple people.
In larger cities you can still find communal bath houses: banya, sauna, hammam, jjimjilbang are all different flavours of being hot and wet with strangers and are a vibe. Your average gym or YMCA will usually have a sauna or a hot tub. Failing that, bubble bath and a candle are the cheap and cheerful option.
you have not lived until you've been whapped with branches in a hot room full of sweaty Russians wearing cute felt hats
I am in fact living without that
I can turn my bathroom into a sauna without russians (bonus of leaving my landlord with insidious impossible to remove mold)
Idk what your job / transportation situation is but you could become a rich person with an infant’s babysitter (the backup when their nanny is busy) and then hang out in their tub while the baby naps (source: I’ve done a lot of babysitting)
Get a horse trough and fill it by heating water on the stove. You'll need a siphon or a pump to drain it

they make poly horse troughs that usually have a drain valve in the side, I had to use one the other year for actual horses and didn't have the key to open it so I used my monke brain and found a flat rock that would work
you can pee in the bathwater
its okay
its like a lot of water and just a little pee and its all warm
it is freedom to do it
Let me know if you find anything. I am comically larger than the standard bath tub install and would also like to take a bath once in a while.
following because i also need the answer to this.
my tiny girlfriend loves our bathtub, after only having standing showers in our last 2 apartments. but to me it is only a torturous tease of a relaxing tub.
i used to go to hotel hot tubs to luxuriate and soak a lot but i am too lazy for that these days.
Apartment complexes often have a shared pool/hot tub. Move into one of those and then go at non-busy hours.
