Tl;dr:
Bathtubs started small due to size constraints of rooms, but got smaller because it’s cheaper to manufacture and handle smaller tubs.

That doesn’t sound complicated at all
Welcome to clickbait title school. This is your first lesson.
I heard the second lesson will shock you.
Few can make it to the third lesson.

Oooh and I though it was complicated.
Oooooooh maybe it’s click bait?,?
I bought a foldable bathtub some time ago and it is SO MUCH better than what I was used to
You have to kinda sit in it but it means that you can submerge your whole body without your legs constantly floating up. It fits in my shower and can be stored away when I don’t use it
How did she get that much water into the middle of her bedroom
Out here asking the real questions
Believe me I ask this out of various experiences
How do you get it all out again??
Believe me, this will indeed be even trickier. But if she’s very careful and experienced then only about 20% will land on the floor.
Her bed is actually in the bathroom.
I’d be afraid of doing some stupid move, like after getting a foot cramp, and somehow fall on the edge and empty it all out on the floor.
This reminds me of Japan’s traditional bathtubs, except they’re rectangular instead of round. Wonderful for soaking.
I may or may not have searched for this whole trying to take a bath
just after World War II, Crane—a major producer of bathtubs—reported that 75 percent of their business was in 5-foot tubs, as smaller tubs are cheaper and therefore more appealing to landlords.
Ooh I can blame the landlords?
It makes a ton of sense to make them as small as possible, given how much water it takes to fill them up. Unlike in Japan, we hardly use that water, while they leave them filled and keep using it.
Imagine always filling a pool just because you want to refresh for 30 minutes and then dumping all that water.
Personally, when I’m taking a bath you can expect to not see me for the next 3-5 hours
Westerners don’t typically bathe every day, they shower. It’s more of a relaxation occasion here. It doesn’t make sense to keep it filled.
Explain Japanese bath, please? They stay full of cold water?
Japanese home baths are almost always right next to a shower, and you take a shower before getting in the bathtub to soak. Because you’re clean before using the tub, a family will leave it full until everyone has had a bath. They still empty the tub after everyone has used it though-- it’s not like they keep the same water for days on end.
It’s a similar concept at bathhouses, where everyone gets in the same baths after showering.
Woah we used to do that when I was a kid, my dad would bathe after me. I thought we were just poor but now I guess we were just Japanese
With that phrasing, I don’t know if you’re confirming your nationality or just discovering it. I’m excited for you either way
That’s very nice of you. But I wasn’t really serious, according to myheritage.com.I am 1% Japanese. If it counts, half of my family comes from an island north of Japan o_o
Now I just have The Vapors, “Turning Japanese” stuck in my head
They also have covers for the bathtubs to help keep the water warm while no one is in it. At least, the old style rectangular ones do.
I thought taking shower before bath was universal thing. Who are these nasty people that bathe in their own filth?
Most of them, pretty sure.
I remember staying at this wonderful couple’s BnB in Northern Michigan and they had a claw-foot standing bathtub, that thing was incredible. So spacious
One of the big complaints in have of my house. The tub is stupidly tiny. All I want to do is soak in hot water.
I also hate the lack of any insulation around a tub so the water gets cold super fast.
relaxes Japensely
I love the bigger tubs here, though the older style were deep rather than long which I find less relaxing.
Same with hot tubs. I prefer the old fashioned wooden ones simply because they were deeper. Modern hot tubs put way too much effort into various seating arrangements, none of which gets you under much water and none of which I find comfortable
I redid my bathroom in my old house and put a larger bathtub in. The issue is it requires a lot more water to fill. Great having much more leg room but it just uses so much water. I ended up using it less due to costs.
