So, just because I'm a nosy you know what........how do you like your showers? Hot as hades, cold as an iceberg, or somewhere in the middle?

I like it just warm enough to create a little steam. Hubby however likes to turn the color of a cooked lobster when he takes one. :smile:

    Usually I like them hot enough to turn my skin a nice glowing red. Except for when I am showering right after a workout, then I like it lukewarm, to help cool me off.

    Somewhere in the middle. Slightly warm. Scalding and freezing water temperatures are not good options.

    Hoooooot. I keep turning it up little by little. I always get out looking like a tomato. Then I wrap up in a towel and sit on my bed and kind of cool off.

    Close to cold as an iceburg, ok maybe not an iceburg, but I love cold showers. I hate hot showers so much.

    I like a hot shower but I have to keep the water warm instead because it makes my blood pressure go down and I get really weak and feel faint if it's too hot.

    In the winter, I crank it up as hot as it will go; in the summer, it's usually quite cool (but not freezing unless it's over 100 degrees out).

    I prefer a cool shower this time of year. It is just too hot and humid down here.
    But I go as hot as the water will get in the winter.

    Steaming hot, and to keep my skin from drying out I put baby oil on just before I turn off the water. During the summer I still make it warm, but follow it with a cold rinse. The cold water is good for your hair too, closes the cuticles and makes it appear shiny. :bigsmile:

    It honestly depends how I feel. Usually I'll go hot and then do a cool off at the end.

    And you're not nosy, great question :smile:

    For me it depends.

    After a heavy workout, cold showers! When it's hot out, cold showers. In the winter hot showers and all the other times, warm showers with a cold rinse.

    Different settings for different times....sometimes nice and hot...other times cooler....sometimes I'll start off hot, then end in cool.......

    As cool/cold as I can stand it on that specific day. Even when it's cold, I don't like it too hot.

    As hot as you can go, but lately they're ice cold, especially after working out. I have read a medical that when you take cold showers, they make your body work harder to warm itself, therefore you burn more calories throught the day.

    I start really hot and then lower it and lower it while I am in it.
    In the end when I wash out my conditioner it's usually ice cold.

    It depends upon the time of year. Right now I'm opting for luke warm to cool. Come winter I'll head for medium hot.

    If I just got done working out, there is nothing better than a cold shower. but otherwise, I like it pretty hot.
