How often do you use your soaking tub? (floor, dishwasher, drain)

[Aery11]

Slipper tub in master - never used - looks pretty, way too deep and high, completely inaccessible even if I was a 'tub person' (which I am not - they make me feel dirty so that I need a shower when I get out).


Regular tub upstairs - since I have had only one visitor for one night in 4 years, that has never been used either.

We have an extra deep tub - we use it 3-4x a week. The husband is a distance runner and likes it for sore muscles, I use it to warm up my back muscles. So between the two of us, quite a bit. This house had a crappy tub when we moved in, but the whole bathroom needed gutting anyway, so it was always the plan to replace it. Quite frankly I don't like the really big soaking tubs, just something deep enough to fully submerge (and we're tall, so we look ridiculous sticking out of regular height tubs). I hate remodeling, but it was worth it to get exactly what we wanted.

I use it every day. I am a bath person too. I used to have a jacuzzi tub in my Master Bath. I used the tub every day but the jacuzzi part- maybe twice a year if that. When we redid the bathroom, took out the jacuzzi and put in a deep tub. I love tubs.

I use mine more like a utility sink than anything else. At times, I have used it as much as once or twice/week. Now, it's probably once or twice/year for bathing.

No, it was not a criteria for buying the house, but it is standard in every house of a certain size in the area we were looking.

I would like to replace this

Past 3 houses and current house have large soaker tubs. I dust them on cleaning days Never used!

Came with the house. Used it maybe 20 times in 15 years. Finally took it out last year. Bathroom is so much more open and friendly now. Really just too impractical for routine use; it empties the hot water tank to fill it and doesn't stay warm long enough to get good use of (I'm talking deep jetted soaker tub, not regular bathtub). Now I wouldn't mind a true hot tub spa that was always ready to soak in, but the soaker tub in the bath was pretty useless.

It depends on how many mice our cats catch.
They like to put the mouse in the tub and play with it until it's dead.

Me, too! Every morning I use the tub for a bubble bath in bathroom one. I use the shower in the master bath only once a week.

I've used our Jacuzzi tub 2-3 times in 7 years. Our last house had one which I used a lot more, because it was in the frozen north. A nice hot bath as the snow fell outside was nice. Here in GA it is never cold enough to make me want to use it. If the tub wasn't under a window of our brick house, we would have removed it, and enlarged our walk in shower, but the whole brick thing doesn't make it worth it.

My family prefers to soak for a while. All three baths in this house get used. What I don't like is a jacuzzi tub. I never figured out the secret to keeping those clean. The little jets get black mold growing in them when not in use.
