Which do you prefer in a showerhead?

[Pink Jazz]

I was wondering, which do you prefer in a showerhead, a high-pressure invigorating shower, or a misty, relaxing shower?

As a software developer, I tend to prefer a misty relaxing shower. It tends to relax my brain after a long day. I love the relax mode on my Moen Verso dual showerhead. I can see why those with more physical jobs (such as construction workers or athletes) would prefer a more invigorating shower.

I tend to get filthy frequently, so I like a showerhead that feels like sand blaster (well, a gentle one, I mean).

High-pressure invigorating. Something like this:

I live in the driest state of the driest habitable continent on earth. Here our showers have pressure restrictors in them to save water and most of us are taught from an early age to make showers as quick as possible. I find nothing enjoyable about a shower, to me it's just another task like doing the dishes.

I voted misty, but really like the shower head I have (I don't know the English word, it's not fixed, but on a flexible tube, and I can hang it at different heights or hold it in my hand) it has a button I can press to switch between mist, intense spray or a mix.

 

[DrBadStrings]

Something preferably with water.

 

[Jumpinbare]

Neither. I like a shower head fixed on the wall with great flow but not high pressure. Mist takes way too long to wash off, and high pressure is sensory torture, not to mention that the pressure is created by flow constriction, so you have to stay in longer to get as clean as with hight flow

power shower.

I agree with outdated for the most part. I have always lived where water is scarce. Showers are for cleanliness unless one has been injured or is ill, then there maybe therapeutic applications.

I am always disturbed that we knowingly pollute one of earth's most important resources. I highly advocate water free toilet options as well as low flow showers.

I think it's called a wand or hand sprayer. We have a detachable shower head in our big, walk-in shower which is nice when I want to sit on the little bench in the shower and hose myself down rather than standing up. The shower head is adjustable and has various options of pulsing spray, misting, etc. - whatever the bather wants.

Living in Nevada, the less water that comes out, the better. Otherwise it's like a "Navy Shower". In and out as fast as possible to conserve fresh water.

Water here is like gold. Something newly-arrived outsiders often discover with their first water bill.

I don't take showers.

I take baths instead.

Ewwww.

I find I don't wash so effectively on the shower. A bath gets to all the crevices, you know, such as between the fat.

I have heard a woman say that baths are better for women.
I will leave it at that.

Yeah, also it might just be a feminine thing where we like to lie back in scented water surrounded by a mountain of bubbles. It's almost like being at a spa.

That's my feminine side coming out.

When friends and relatives visit us from the western states, they are shocked by how much water we "waste". The problem here usually is too much water, not a shortage of water. Annual rainfall averages about 65 inches per year.

I have said for decades that we need massive water pipes crisscrossing the country to move excess water to dry areas similar to the nationwide power grid.

Might not be a good idea. I'm in Michigan where we have lots of water.

Because we have lots of water, our entire ecosystem is based on having lots of water. A drought here that destroys acres of trees and ruins crops would look like a wet year in a lot of other places.

Pack that water off to somewhere else, and our ecosystem collapses.

I've read ridiculous proposals to pipe water from the Mississippi River to the western states. A few years ago, a major drought reduced the river water so much that navigation stopped on the river, leaving agricultural and other products just rotting on river barges upstream. Many cities depend on the river for drinking water, including Memphis and New Orleans. There would be a battle royale between the river states and the arid desert states over that water. I've long thought that the next world war will be over water. Those western states should stop trying to grow water intensive crops like some nut trees, alfalfa, corn and hay in the desert. Ban swimming pools and lawn watering, too.
