Do fat people use less water in a bath? aka Do thin people use less wate in a bath?

Question

because of their mass or do they need more / less water to surround them?

Answer 1

The larger the person the less water will be needed to fill the bath.

As for the 'offended' lady above - Does the word Fat offend you? Or does it make you feel guilty / uncomfortable with your body image which you interpret as offense?

Answer 2

It rather depends what you mean by the question. Obviously, the larger the person in the bath, the less water needed to make the bath overflow. However, if you are talking about relaxing comfortably in a bath that is big enough to accommodate you then the answer is different.
In normal cases, a thin man will need much less water to surround him than a fat man. By the way, the same thing applies to women unless a thin woman has had enormous implants.

Answer 3

Well it would depend.

like if you are anerexic skinny, an the base of the bath tub is large, ypu would take more water, but if you werer big and if the bath tub was small, you would take more water.

So its just bascically, it depends on the dimensions of the bath tub

And to the people who think this question is offensive? GET a hold of yoursleves, he is probably curious, besides, why do you have to take it the negative way. God!

And they people makign for of the big people, some peopel cant help it, it can be casueed by genetics, like I probably eat more then any of you, and i dont really excersize, but yet, im still as skinny as a twig. Jeez, its not nice laughing at obease people.

Answer 4

The displacement factor comes in here

A larger person will displace more water ,
therefore, if you do not wish the bath ,to over flow !
you will put a little LESS water in .

A skinny person ,
will not displace the water to the same degree,
as the large person ,
so ... the amount of water
for a good bathe would be MORE.

the solution ,
would be, to have a really big deep, bath to suit all !

LOL!
what i want ,is one of those Jacuzzi things !!!

Answer 5

Showering is more hygenic and uses less water. Be green - shower occasionally bathe only in seawater! preserve the planets resources. Put another way waste not want not.

In a normal bath the larger person requires less water to cover them as they displace more (not to mention filling the space between the sides of the bath more completely)

Answer 6

It relies upon on how lots you fill the tub and in case you have a low pass bathe head. an time-honored tub takes 60 gallons. A low pass bathe head makes use of two.5 gallons according to minute so 15 minute bathe may be 37.5 gallons. in case you are able to drop the water by technique of an inch or 2, you are able to decrease your water utilization.

Answer 7

The more body mass, the higher the level of water displacement, therefore a larger body requires less water than of a body with a lesser mass.

Answer 8

It might depend on whether you run all of the bath before getting in or not.

It would also depend on whether you aimed to just cover your thighs; in that case a thin person might use less than a fat person, but it would depend on the ratio of person size to bath size.

Answer 9

great question my ex was so fat she acted like a dam in the bath and i really dont like thinking about it, i always thought she used more water to get the water high enough in the bath to cover her belly

Answer 10

No, someone who is larger displaces the water to a higher degree (the water will rise up more when they enter the tub).
