The term "bath" has had a number of meanings over time. The most common meanings focus around the function of a bathroom in post-industrial society, which mainly pertains to hygiene. A bath can refer to a bathroom, which usually houses a toilet and sink along with a bathtub or shower. A bath can also refer to a facility where people submerge their bodies into water, either clothed or nude, alone or in company with others. A bath can also refer to the act of applying water to the body, either in a tub or shower. The application can be for the purpose of hygiene and grooming, or for therapeutic soaking. - A bath or shower is a very efficient means of removing odor, dead skin and bacteria from the skin, which comprises the largest organ of the human body. In addition, bathing or showering hydrates the skin--and the scalp, when you shampoo your hair. Soaking can be a relaxing break from a busy routine. A hot bath can also be used to soak soreness from strained or tired muscles, especially when you add substances such as Epsom salts.

A whirlpool is also often called a hot tub or a Jacuzzi. The Jacuzzi was named for its inventors, who obtained a patent for the device in the 1960s. A Jacuzzi is a self-contained bath with jets installed which circulate the water within the enclosure. The original purpose for a Jacuzzi or other whirlpool bath was health and therapeutic purposes. In 1970, Jacuzzi incorporated heating systems to keep the water consistently warm and filtration to clean the water. Jacuzzi also began to build larger units, which were marketed as spas. - Jacuzzis and whirlpools are excellent for providing massage action to the entire body. Larger whirlpools and hot tubs can be used as social gathering spots, as they can accommodate several people. The swirling action of the water can also serve as a powerful massage to relieve pain and provide general relaxation. The jets in a whirlpool can be adjusted and targeted precisely, so that the swirling action of the water covers the whole body submerged in the tub.
- A bath or shower usually requires routine cleaning, which can be done while cleaning the rest of the bathroom. A whirlpool or Jacuzzi, on the other hand, requires special maintenance in order to remain functional. In the 21st century, virtually 100 percent of all homes and apartments feature bathing facilities. Whirlpools or Jacuzzis, on the other hand, are usually found in public or semi-public facilities, and remain high-end options for private homes.
