The Evolution of Bathtubs

The Evolution of Bathtubs
By Jane Worthington

What started out as a single tub that would be filled with water by hand has come a long way. Bathtubs these days seem to be as limitless as your imagination. These days your tub can be as smart as your personal laptop, memorizing your favorite music, your preferred water temperature, your light settings, the list goes on. With choices like whirlpool tubs, claw foot bathtubs, or corner bathtubs, the boundaries of what your tub can do or where you can put it seem to be disappearing with every passing moment. You want computers done, you want depth done, you want antique done, you want a bean shaped tub with Jacuzzi jets stuffed in a random corner done, there truly are no restrictions. The capability to create sublimity for any tub lover is the name of the modern tub-ing game. People are even going as far as to install their bathtubs outside just to create an even more serene setting. Bathtubs are now created for ultimate relaxation, which has been their primary function for a long time. What started out as a quick and easy way to bathe has turned into a way for one to escape the outside world and reflect on their life while giving their body absolute relaxation. Perhaps that is why bathing has been proven to boost ones immune system.

Whirlpool tubs are among the more popular tubs these days. These tubs are used mostly for recreational purposes as they use lots of water and are basically indoor Jacuzzis. They are wonderful for those long stressful days, or even those long, cold, lonely nights. Nothing is better than spending a little time in your bathtub as jets gently massage your body. A claw foot bathtub can add a vintage or antique quality to your bathroom. These tubs have a depth that is truly remarkable and have a way of making an ordinary bath seem extraordinary. The exude elegance and certain hand craftsmanship that just makes you feel like royalty when you are inside them. The corner bathtub is the newest addition to the bathtub family. Corner bathtubs can be equipped with jets, or if jets are too much for you, you can get one without them. The distinguishable thing about corner tubs is that it can fit almost anywhere in your bathroom and can have stand out shapes, making them truly one of a kind.

Regardless of the bathtub you decide is right for you, one thing will never change and that is man's love for submerging himself in water.
