Bolverk Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I damn love these showers, The hot water makes me loosen up my muscles and relax some. Then the cold water shocks me into a emotional calm. More people should try it. You feel great afterwards. Basically how I do the shower is. Start showering with hot water for a while, then end it with max cold. While the cold water runs, I close my eyes and focus on breathing through my nose and into my stomach. Easier not to focus on the cold then and you don't start hyperventilating. Quote
arakura Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 that's really interesting. My take on how to best enjoy a shower is to get in warm water, and then start slowly ramping up the heat until it's searing hot and you cant take the pain anymore, at which point you get out of the shower. You know you've succeeded when the outside air doesnt feel annoyingly cold, but rather that the coolness is pleasurable relief from the aforementioned fiery torment. except watch out for your eyes, once it gets hot enough, I'm pretty sure contact with your eyes is unhealthy... But I will try your strategy sometime and get back to you! Quote
Eclipsed Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Ending with cold also helps alot for showers in the morning during the winter xD Cuz once I adjust to the cold water I don't freeze my a$$ off when getting out of the shower like I would if I used heat instead. Quote
TexasDice Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 Cold isn't cold enough, my showers have to be icy. I don't really know why. Probably because I don't want to get comfortable and rather leave the bathroom faster. Quote

arakura Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 *wastes an absurd amount of water taking absurdly long showers* Bolverk, Stray Cat and Zakamutt 3 Quote
Eclipsed Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 True, but I just shower at night though so then I go right into my warm sheets after a shower. Warm-hot is always best IMO. Am I the only person here who likes to take like 20 minute+ showers? I would shower at night instead but then I'd get super bad bed hair by the morning ;-; Quote
Bolverk Posted October 20, 2014 Author Posted October 20, 2014 I take waaay to long showers as well haha. Luckily doesn't cost much to warm cold water haha. that's really interesting.

phersu Posted October 20, 2014 Posted October 20, 2014 I enjoy only the finest hell water and glacial piss as my shower water. Anything less is too plebeian for one such as I. Quote
