[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe this is a dumb question, but how do you take a bucket bath? [/quote]

Fill a bucket with water. Put a plastic or steel container in and keep pouring water on yourself, lathering yourself up in between pours and then washing it off.[/quote]

This is what I've done in traditional Ryokan in Japan. Except the ambience is all wood, relaxing and delightful, and the water is a warm temperature. When you're all clean, you steep yourself in a HOT HOT HOT bath up to your neck. Not for those with deep varicose veins.

I grew up in the UK, when after cross country runs, my classmates and I were supposed to wash with boiling hot OR glacially cold water coming out of different faucets, no mixer. Since this was the school showers, there were no buckets, no nothing. No one ever took showers. We all went home caked in mud (because it rained nearly every day where I lived, and running in mud gets you caked) and washed at home. But OP has a bucket, she can mix water. I've had to do that once when we lost water in our house in Bethesda!

OP, you've got to communicate better with your husband. You're not an adventurous person. Tell him that next time, he's either going by himself, or he has to make some concessions. [/quote]
