      It’s relaxing, but I wouldn’t spend hours reading or something, it’s just uncomfortable and you look like a raisin afterwards.

      It’s a lovely way to unwind after a long day. Soaking in water takes weight off your joints and bones, the heat feels nice, and I’ll usually put a show on my phone to unwind with an episode before I wash up.

      My partner likes to spend a half hour or so reading or watching a show. She uses these trays to hold her book, some bath soap, and some cola light.

        Reading actual books (on paper!) in the bathtub is what I’ll never get: How do you flip pages? Do you dry your hands for each page or do you just live with soggy pages? Also the humidity in general is bad for your books… That’s why e-readers are so awesome.

      It’s because the water is hot and comfortable and helps with pain, but it’s boring as heck to sit there long enough to enjoy the pain relief. So you bring a book or a tablet and a snack. Or if you’re extra bad at relaxing, a tablet for show, a phone for game, a sweet treat, a salty treat and a nice cool water to help with the heat
