Shower
A shower is a process of
bathing by application of sprayed water upon the body; the term also refers the component of a typical modern
bathroom that provides such a function. It offers an effective method of
personal hygiene through a spraying of the body with hot or cold water as desired, often in combination with
soap,
shampoo or
shower gel. It is also a more efficient use of water and the power necessary to heat it than taking a bath. By definition, a half bathroom does not include a shower; a full bath may include a full shower.
