The master in our previous home didn't have a tub in the master--only a shower, so I never took a bath in a tub in 16 years.
The new house has a huge sunken garden tub in the master bathroom. I've gotten into the habit of hot spa baths in the tub twice a week. Bubbles...bubbly...candles and music. An hour of serious luxury.
I can't believe I skipped out on this for the past 16 years (not that I always had the time).
So, do you do this?

Probably once every day or other day. I LOVE soaking in a hot bubble bath. To me, it's very relaxing.

During the winter I do about once a week. I love going and hiding in there!

about twice a week is average for me. Love my tub. It is a deep, claw foot style tub and I love it.

At least once a week and always with a Lush bath bomb. Heaven on Earth!

2-3 times per week! Though I'm just a straight up hot water kind of girl... no music, candles, bubbles, etc.

I can't remember the last time I had a bath. Baths are not relaxing to me at all. Showers are more relaxing.

Not regularly, but every time I do I wonder why I don't do it more often. When I do it's with some great smelling bath oil in the water, a new magazine, and a glass of wine.

Never. I'm a shower person. Our shower is liked being attacked by water and that's how I like it. I can feel the dirt blasting off me. I'm not a fan of soaking in my own dirt.

I get up at 4:30 every week day morning and walk for an hour in our shop across the yard. In the winter, when I get back to the house, unless I am running late, I take a bath before leaving for work. Something about sinking into that hot water (usually with a small squirt of B&BW shower gel) makes it easier to face the day! Love splurging on holiday scents at B&BW.

If I had a huge sunken tub, it would be at least once a week. But I opted for a bonus room to have craft space over a whirlpool tub. So in my regular tub, it's just once every few months, usually because of injury (muscle strain of some sort). But a warm bath in the very cold of winter can be a lovely luxury.

In Japan every single day. (Custom)
Now every 6 months or so? Depends if I am aching or sore for some reason.

Alllll the time.
Reading in the tub, watching tv or movies in the tub, I'll stay in there for hours.
When I was in law school during finals time or when I was getting ready for the Bar I would take 4 or 5 baths a day - I did my best studying in there.

Never. I used to live in a house with only a bathtub and no shower and hated it. We're in the process of finishing a master BR addition and aren't putting in any tub in the new ensuite bath.

every day if I can but not with all the stuff like candles etc. Sometimes bubble baths. It helps if Im hurting. For so e reason showers are harder for me. Always have been. Plus I don't always wanna get my hair wet.

I cannot sit in my own dirt. I just won't. I feel icky just thinking about it.
The last bath I had was at 16 while they fought to get down a 105 fever on the hospital. I still get the shivers thinking about it. The bath that is, not the fever.
I don't take baths. No way.

About 2-3 times a week, especially in winter. Once I get chilled, the only thing that will warm me up is a hot bath.

Almost every day! Love soaking in the hottest water I can stand.

Every single night. It is my favorite time of the day. I used to read while in the bathtub, but I can't anymore because my glasses steam up too much!

I may have taken a hot soak a few times after childbirth. So I'm thinking maybe a half dozen times in the last 30-40 years.
We have had ginormous jacuzzi tubs in the last couple houses, but I don't care for soaking/bathing. I don't like hot tubs, either.
ETA To specify, I mean I don't like bathing in a tub. I LOVE hot showers and would stand in one until the hot water tank is empty if I could do it without feeling guilty.

Never. I had the jacuzzi tub ripped out of the master bath to make room for a huge walk in shower.

I take a bath at least twice a week, with my kindle or a magazine. I started doing that when my kids still lived home as a way to do something nice for myself, and I've never stopped. The bathtub is the one place I allow myself to completely disconnect.

I do about once a week, more in the winter or if in reading a really good book as I just want to sneak away and dive into it.

Heading in to turn on the hot water right now. Adding "TV above my tub" to my list of future splurges for my home.
I love hot baths. A huge deep tub was a must-have when I was house-hunting 3 years ago. In fact, when I went to my close on my house, I had bubble bath, a towel, and a change of clothes in my car. As soon as I signed all the papers, I drove to my new house and took a bath.
Honestly, I thought I would use it every weekend, and a few nights a week when I'm not on the road. The truth is, I may go 3 or 4 weeks without getting in the tub. I use it way more often in the winter, but in the summer, it's harder to get excited about raising my body temperature.

The last time I took a bath was 21 years ago. Before that, it was probably... 20 years before. So I average 1 bath every 20.5 years. The appeal is a mystery to me.
