DH starts off and stays at scalding! Way too hot for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-639420 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:38:09 +0000 Mrs. Twine 639420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My six year old would cook herself like a lobster if left to her own devices. I like hot water (and my skin is constantly griping at me for that in this lovely MN winter), but she takes hot to a whole other level. She bathes with little sister, and so at the start of the bath the water is not how she likes it and she complains oodles, but when little sis gets out all bets are off! Lowly (baby) could care less. I'm pretty sure she would be awesome with the water out of the fridge if that's what we put in there. She just likes the splash-factor, but she's small enough that I'm still kind-of uptight about not using the full capacity of the hot water heater. Also, she got dry skin from me and her dad, which means that hot water is not her friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-639418 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:37:57 +0000 Reese 639418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HOT! my DH likes the water warm and it causes issues when we shower. We have a pretty good system now (me tricking him into thinking it is cold enough until he gets used to it) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-639397 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:34:34 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 639397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Showers prickly hot, but I save a cool rinse for the very end to close pores and follicles.</p> <p>Bath I like them warm and I drain and fill to keep the temp consistent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-639366 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:26:07 +0000 cheert16 639366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>me: lukewarm<br /> dh: burning his skin off </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-639359 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:24:31 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 639359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it so hot it's steaming. My husband thinks I'm crazy. I love a hot bath. I'm so sad to be moving and leaving my huge soaker tub. At least my new place has a regular soaker tub. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-639333 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:18:09 +0000 mynoahbear 639333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has to be super hot, bath or shower. DH likes lukewarm baths. LO likes lukewarm too, probably because DH used to bathe her when she was smaller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-639140 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:33:35 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 639140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: us too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-639082 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:15:49 +0000 DillonLion 639082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer it to be just before the level where it will burn me. </p> <p>DH prefers it "lukewarm" but I refer to that as freezing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-639057 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:09:38 +0000 MaisyMay 639057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Much hotter than DH. When he joins me I have to turn the temp down, otherwise he complains.

Hot enough that I'm all red when I get out. My husband thinks I'm nuts. His preferred temp is somewhere in the middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-638712 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 07:51:06 +0000 autumnlove 638712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hot enough to irritate my skin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-638704 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 07:49:05 +0000 Cherrybee 638704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sufficiently warm! I usually add a splash of hot every few minutes or so as it cools down from the temperature I like it and actually becomes cold!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-638695 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 07:45:15 +0000 matador84 638695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hot hot hot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-638691 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 07:43:25 +0000 Caly 638691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scalding! To the point I turn red. DH prefers warm, he whines if the temp gets above what I consider lukewarm. Luckily we have a tankless water heater so I never run out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-638660 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 07:28:09 +0000 blackbird 638660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I start off with cooler water to wash my hair in, then switch to super hot. I typically run out of hot water before I want to get out of the shower. During the summer, after the gym, I prefer a cool shower, though, since I'm still flush from working out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-638648 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 07:23:51 +0000 anbanan15 638648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As hot as the shower will go!! DH likes his about the same, but doesn't crank the faucet all the way like I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-638608 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 06:51:27 +0000 illumina 638608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hot! I get in the shower with it cooler and slowly turn it up. If DH decides to join me he usually ends up jumping out again or turns it right down straight away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-638603 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 06:47:08 +0000 mediagirl 638603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it so hot that when I get out, my skin is bright pink. I take baths with M and her baths end up being cooler than I would like but probably hotter than they should be (hovering just around 98 degrees). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-hot-do-you-like-your-baths-or-showers#post-638598 Thu, 14 Mar 2013 06:43:05 +0000 Happygal 638598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super hot. Like turn my skin red hot. </p>
