male female divide - how hot do you have you bath?

[Mikey]

We do now have a bath thermometer (for Bean) and I'm sure it's supposed to be no more than 37C.

You already have one of those dude, it's called an elbow, dip yours in, rather than OH's its a fair judge of comfort. Best thing we had for little un, when she moved out of the baby bath into the big one was one of these.

My elbow is cr*p for measuring the temp for my boys. They get in and say'oooh mummy it's too hot!' So best if OH runs the bath! If I had girls would it be different?!

those bath seats are ace though, loved ours.

[Mikey]

I don't know janeyo, as it would appear that most women prefer the temperature to be around 10 degrees higher than most men. I think it probably has something to do with our thermometers.

Neither of us use the bath very often. OH probably hasn't had one for about 5 years and I only have one about once or maybe twice a year. In theory the idea of a long hot soak in the bath is great but in practice I find it a bit of a waste of half and hour (or however long) when I could have been in and out of the shower in 5 minutes rather than lying in dirty water. Dunno about temperature, have it cool if it's hot outside but warmer if I need warming up, think himself might go for something similar but don't know.

Batch caddy things, ikea do lots of different sorts, we got a fab wooden one, great for resting mags, drinks etc on whilst you soak.
I like my bath warmish and then i run hot water in it to up the temperature whilst i soak and mega lots of bubbles, Matey childrens bubble bath is fab for that.
Mr Miffy likes his baths so hot he comes out bright red!
