Its not "bad" to take a bath. Make sure your tub is clean and watch the amount of bubble bath, bath salts, and bath oils you put in the water. Women have a shorter urethra and since bacteria have a shorter length to travel, we are more susceptible to UTI's and Bladder infections and yeast infections.

No, but certain types of bubble bath can seriously increase the chance of a urinary tract infestion. I would say if you get any type of infection "down there", you should wait a couple of weeks after if has cleared to take a bath.

It depends what you put in your bath. I can't use Skin so Soft. I get a yeast infection every time, but just water is ok.

You just might get more infections taking a bath. It is not 'bad' however, just make sure your tub is realllllly clean first.

it is only bad to take too many bubble baths, not regular bathing.

it can be... it can cause yeast infections and urinary tract infections(AKA uti) even if the tub is clean the cleaner can cause it to happen (I've had it happen on too many occasions)
