YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Soaker Japanese Style Tubs Does anyone have? And do you use a lot more water for a bath versus the standard 5ft bathtub?

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | If it was heated, I would think you could use less. I waste water by constantly adding hot water.

| Is it still a regular bathtub, just a corner style? Or is the "Soaker Janpanese Style" something different? I had a jacuzzi garden tub at my last house that I loved. So I replaced my standard 5ft tub at my wee house with a 5ft jacuzzi tub....it's so not the same thing I loved soaking in a big tub...not so much in the little one. It did take ALOT of water to fill the old tub, but it had a heater on it so it kept the water hot for as long as you wanted. I didn't go with the heater on the lil tub and I'm now glad as in hindsight it would have been a waste.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Awh well the original ones are usually round, and you can get a heater option element. They are designed to sit in and well "soak". Should be deeper than a regular bath tub too. I can't find one of the sites I was looking at today - but they did show the round models.

| A big, deep, insulated tub with a heater...and I'd be in there for hours...until a prune looked wrinkle-free compared to me

That's gorgeous in copper! What a great idea....I really like the seat area. Quite frankly, as I'm getting older, sitting in a regular tub with my legs out in front of me is great...until I go to get out . Then, I'm trying to get onto to knees and get my legs under me so I can stand up to get out...and let me tell you, it's not as graceful a procedure as it was 20 years ago. Love the built in seat!

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | I hear you. But how does one get in the things? lol. I see the ones that are recessed into a platform - but the free standing ones?

| I lived in Japan for 7 years, everything they use is smaller. Yes, they are deeper and would definately use more water. We lived in a traditional Japanese house for a year and a bath for me was out of the question due to the size (very short and I'm only 5'3) and the amount of time it would take to fill the tub - it would fill much faster in the US. It was great at the time for me to bathe my son, who was 6-18 months during that time frame. Our tub was a basic white tub, similar to the US standard but much shorter and deeper, not a beautiful circular one like in the links attached - they look like an upscale mini hot tub.

| This is why we have a hot tub We both love sitting in the tub, but it's nice to stretch out in the hot tub rather than being squished.
