Tl;dr:
Bathtubs started small due to size constraints of rooms, but got smaller because it’s cheaper to manufacture and handle smaller tubs.

That doesn’t sound complicated at all
We can’t all be super smart like you
Vocab lesson.
It doesn’t sound complex at all. But it is complicated, by the use of an entire article to explain it when two bullets do the trick.
Complex is natural, complicated is some effort’s effect on a thing
Thank you!
Oooh and I though it was complicated.
Oooooooh maybe it’s click bait?,?
I bought a foldable bathtub some time ago and it is SO MUCH better than what I was used to
You have to kinda sit in it but it means that you can submerge your whole body without your legs constantly floating up. It fits in my shower and can be stored away when I don’t use it
How did she get that much water into the middle of her bedroom
Out here asking the real questions
Believe me I ask this out of various experiences
How do you get it all out again??
Believe me, this will indeed be even trickier. But if she’s very careful and experienced then only about 20% will land on the floor.
Her bed is actually in the bathroom.
I’d be afraid of doing some stupid move, like after getting a foot cramp, and somehow fall on the edge and empty it all out on the floor.
I’ve always been skeptical about the reliability of those foldable tub. Seem like there’s no reputable brands are making them, and I wonder why?
I would buy one asap if it comes with at least 2 years warranty.
This reminds me of Japan’s traditional bathtubs, except they’re rectangular instead of round. Wonderful for soaking.
I may or may not have searched for this whole trying to take a bath
Whole
just after World War II, Crane—a major producer of bathtubs—reported that 75 percent of their business was in 5-foot tubs, as smaller tubs are cheaper and therefore more appealing to landlords.
Ooh I can blame the landlords?
One of the big complaints in have of my house. The tub is stupidly tiny. All I want to do is soak in hot water.
I also hate the lack of any insulation around a tub so the water gets cold super fast.
It makes a ton of sense to make them as small as possible, given how much water it takes to fill them up. Unlike in Japan, we hardly use that water, while they leave them filled and keep using it.
Imagine always filling a pool just because you want to refresh for 30 minutes and then dumping all that water.
Personally, when I’m taking a bath you can expect to not see me for the next 3-5 hours
Westerners don’t typically bathe every day, they shower. It’s more of a relaxation occasion here. It doesn’t make sense to keep it filled.
I remember staying at this wonderful couple’s BnB in Northern Michigan and they had a claw-foot standing bathtub, that thing was incredible. So spacious
At the Insight Meditation Center in Barre, MA they have an enormous claw tub. I was able to straighten my entire body inside it, and he completely underwater.

I love the bigger tubs here, though the older style were deep rather than long which I find less relaxing.
Same with hot tubs. I prefer the old fashioned wooden ones simply because they were deeper. Modern hot tubs put way too much effort into various seating arrangements, none of which gets you under much water and none of which I find comfortable
I redid my bathroom in my old house and put a larger bathtub in. The issue is it requires a lot more water to fill. Great having much more leg room but it just uses so much water. I ended up using it less due to costs.
Have you tried low density water?
