The information belowcame from:

We know that baths have existed in Roman life since the 2nd century BC and were initially for men only. I suppose that they were even then considered places for important matters and business to be discussed and thus there was no need to consider an area for women.
The first baths which are referred to with the neuter word balneum, were privately owned. Thus we can assume that the poorer folk were not cleansed along with the women.
They, too, had no business or important matters to discuss thought the 'important' men of the day.

Most male Romans went regularly...the richer ones probably every day. I'm not really sure if there were any age limitations. Nothing I ever learned indicated either way.

By the way -- "aloud" means to say something out loud. Being permitted to do something is "allowed."

Men bathed with men and boys who had officially been recognized as men. Women bathed with women and children of both sexes. But there was a lot of leeway, since the Romans were not as hung up on modesty as we are. Slaves of either sex took care of the grooming. The free citizens just sat or laid there and did nothing for themselves. B.

I bet they probably went with their moms. I'm not entirely for sure, but that would definitely be my guess.
