A shower is a place in which a person bathes under a spray of typically warm or hot water. Indoors, there is a drain in the floor. Most showers have temperature, spray pressure and adjustable showerhead nozzle. The simplest showers have a swivelling nozzle aiming down on the user, while more complex showers have a showerhead connected to a hose that has a mounting bracket. This allows the showerer to hold the showerhead by hand to spray the water onto different parts of their body. A shower can be installed in a small shower stall or bathtub with a plastic shower curtain or door. Showering is common in Western culture due to the efficiency of using it compared with a bathtub. Its use in hygiene is, therefore, common practice.[1][page needed]The original showers were neither indoor structures nor man-made but were common natural formations: waterfalls.[2] The falling water rinsed the bathers completely clean and was more efficient than bathing in a traditional basin, which required manual transport of both fresh and waste water. Ancient people began to reproduce these natural phenomena by pouring jugs of water, often very cold, over themselves after washing. There has been evidence of early upper class Egyptian and Mesopotamians having indoor shower rooms where servants would bathe them in the privacy of their own homes.[3] However, these were rudimentary by modern standards, having rudimentary drainage systems and water was carried, not pumped, into the room. The ancient Greeks were the first people to have showers. Their aqueducts and sewage systems made of lead pipes allowed water to be pumped both into and out of large communal shower rooms used by elites and common citizens alike.[4] These rooms have been discovered at the site of the city Pergamum and can also be found represented in pottery of the era. The depictions are very similar to modern locker room showers, and even included bars to hang up clothing.[5][page needed] The ancient Romans also followed this convention; their famous bathhouses (Thermae) can be found all around the Mediterranean and as far out as modern-day England. The Romans not only had these showers but also believed in bathing multiple times a week, if not every day. The water and sewage systems developed by the Greeks and Romans broke down and fell out of use after the fall of the Roman Empire.
Modern showers
The first mechanical shower, operated by a hand pump, was patented in England in 1767 by William Feetham,[citation needed] a stove maker from Ludgate Hill in London. His shower contraption used a pump to force the water into a vessel above the user's head and a chain would then be pulled to release the water from the vessel. Although the system dispensed with the servant labour of filling up and pouring out buckets of water, the showers failed to catch on with the rich as a method for piping hot water through the system was not available. The system would also recycle the same dirty water through every cycle.
This early start was greatly improved in the anonymously invented English Regency shower design of circa 1810 (there is some ambiguity among the sources).[2] The original design was over 10 feet (3

I work a somewhat dirty job so I usually to do a hot shower and rinse off with cold. However i live in an apartment in California so my options are scorching hot or somewhat warm.
After a hot shower you feel cold
After a cold shower you don't and that's what i like also it just feels super good, especially after a hot day
i do both
but i only take 1-2 cold showers per week, hot showers make me sleep better though so i like to take those in the evening
I only used very warm hot showers at nighttime before going to bed when wintertime, but when it's summer during hot nights, yes I'd go for cold showers.
Dude heat saved me indirectly. I got sşck in highschool and got a fever. Thankfully i had a coat so i wore it and i actually managed to prevent it from getting worse by heating my body up.
We take showers together my girlfriend and I and we’ve found the right water temperature for both of us. It fairly simple to accomplish
what if i did 50/50
What if taking a cold shower in freezing cold winter?
Cold showers are really not that bad. It's usually the first minute that it's hard. And once you practice every single day, it's really very easy and your skin's much better.
I'll say this. As a person who takes hot showers and almost never cold showers. I'm pretty productive most of the time rather it's noticeable or not. I also seen whenever I tried taking cold showers I'm less comfortable and just freezing the rest of the day. Cold showers are good for skin and all and if you feel energized by them go for it. But if you wanna be more comfortable I reccemond taking hot showers.
Cold showers are supposed to be taken in the morning.
Cant let go of my hot shower after a long tiring day, but I'll try implementing cold showers as a routine for the morning!
I've been taking cold showers because the house I moved in to is out of propane
Why not take a cold then hot shower?
Not gonna lie, just took one, and I am usualy a pretty "down" person. I couldn't stop laughing for some reason tho, it was pretty cool.
Cold shower in the morning and hot showers at night.
This video is make to confuse people
Cold showers are overrated. Try bathing with 55 degrees Celsius water.
Just go in the middle
Hot water is better I never get sick and it’s better in a hot environment
Why would I want less response from the immune system. It's what keeps me healthy before I've noticed any symptoms. I'm trying to save hot water in summer and 25° seems bloody cold to me. lol.
That’s why I slowly change the temperature of the shower
Basically take cold showers in morning, and hot showers at night, To get best of both worlds and help yourself the most.
Me goes to take a cold shower
Also, me screaming, "THIS IS SPRTA!!!*
Why dont you showing your lying faces
I like taking cold showers, but it’s as I’ve come to realise very dependent on my circadian rhythms. Cold showers incite oxygen intake and stimulate circulation, making them excellent for the morning. At night though, I want to relax my system to get the best sleep. So from my experience, it’s best to shower cold in the morning for a short time and at night take the time to cleanse with warm to hot water. That being said, cold showers are enjoyable if you sing and crank it to the coldest setting; that way the shock outnumber the feeling of cold!
