Shower, I don't really like baths anyway. Although, are there any studies that prove showers are better at water conservation than baths? How much water is used during a shower? I have always been told a shower is better at conserving water, but doesn't that depend on how long someone is in the shower?

Use the shower to fill up a quarter of your bath (assuming you shower in a bathtub like most North Americans). Before the water level reaches each part of your body, soap and scrub. When ready, lie down, wiggle randomly but excitedly and try to use the waves splashing back from the sides of the bath to reach all parts of your body.
This shower-bath combination uses the least amount of water.

A sponge bath. A regular shower uses about half the water of a bath, but 5 times as much as sponging a body down.

Follow the US Navy. They know all the right answers. That is why they only have showers on warships. Use of a shower (as opposed to a bath) conserves water.

It would be better to have a shower. A quick 5 minute shower could use+/- 50 litres of water compared to filling half a bath with water which could be +/- 150 litres of water, using a shower would be more efficient.

Fresh water has always been in short supply aboard ships. The answer in all cases has been that if you have enough fresh water for hygienic uses, a wet-soap-rinse (navy) shower gets the most cleansing for the least water.

A shower would use less. And it uses even less if you wet down, turn it off, soap, then just turn it on to rinse.
You can also have a basin to capture the water to use as grey water.
