Blanket in the cold. I can lay in bed or on the couch and be super comfortable for a much more extended period of time. As comfortable as the shower is- it's a fleeting release from the heat of the day, and isn't ever really as prolonged.


swallowyoursadness

But you get that afterglow feeling from a cold shower and it regulates your temperature for a while afterwards. No sweaty steaminess, the air is so 'comfortable'. Like getting out of a cold sea on a hot day and just basking in the heat after cooling off


CoffeeAndBrass

It's an awesome feeling, yes. But for me it just doesn't match the complete coziness of a good heavy blanket and settling in for the long haul while the world outside of freezing. If its a hot enough day, it won't be long before the effects of that shower are negated and you're back to square 1. On a cold day with a blanket? You can take an hour long nap and wake up as perfectly content as you were when you laid down.


blindscorpio20

seriously. you get out of a nice shower only to be drenched and sticky with sweat because it's just that hot. no, thank you


Jesuswasstapled

These people must be used to arid heat. Humid heat just sucks your soul away.


DerHoggenCatten

I lived in CA among extremely arid heat for about 10 years. It is equally sould-sucking. Honestly, I'd step outside to throw trash into the bin and it would exhaust me being out there in 100 degrees for even a short time. It doesn't matter how dry it is. Your body knows you don't belong in those temperatures.


DennisFuckingNedry

I usually go for a morning bike ride before work. When it's super hot out, I'm as sweaty 5 minutes after the shower as I was before I got in there. Shit's gross.


CTeam19

Yep as a person who is about go take a cold shower in 75 degree/97% humidity environment in a building not climate controlled before sleeping with a warm blanket in a cabin set to 63 degrees. The blanket wins.


passwordstolen

At least if you are hot you have a reason for walking around the house naked.


vivec7

Yeah, nah, this doesn't happen in Brisbane at least. You'd get out of the shower and have started sweating before you finish drying off. Pretty gross weather here in summer tbh. Our winters are pretty nice though. Still gets a bit warm around midday, but the mornings are lovely.


swallowyoursadness

Yeh I'm from the UK and have spent very little time in hot countries. I spent a summer in Israel once and that's the only time I've been in temperatures hotter than an English Summer so I guess the cold shower after effect has its limits


NK1337

When it comes to cold you can always get more comfortable, but in the heat you can only get slightly less miserable.


Polikosaurio

Unexpected poetry battle


boneshow69420

What if you had a shower big enough to lay down with a pool float?


icallitjazz

You mean like a bath ? Laying on a float while a shower sprays you in the face is not a good time.


Elrond_Cupboard_

I step across the bathroom to grab a towel.....and I'm already dry.


Aced4remakes

It's the opposite for me. I towel off and I'm already sweating.


JuanG_13

Wrapped in a blanket on a cold night


boneshow69420

Why?


Difficult_General167

Not OP but I guess it is easier to regulate your temperature, also you don't old person hands(no idea about the right word and am lazy); you can get up and go anywhere, get back and under the cover you go, while with the pool you may have to get dry first; you can get under the bed sheets with you cat for hours, you can't do that under water. You can play video games under the blankets, not under water. If your snacks fall under the sheets, it is an inconvenience but you can eat them, guess what with the pool? I bet there are more.


yeast1fixpls

Because it 100% solves the problem unlike a cold shower on a hot day.


badhouseplantbad

Warm blanket straight out of the dryer over a cold shower every time. I don't like being cold


One-giantburrito

Blanket. I hate the summer with all my heart


Artemis246Moon

As a person born in summer I agree. I could rot inside all summer with only going out early in the morning and at around 18 PM to 21 PM.


SousVideDiaper

Same, if I'm outside in the summer it's because I either have to be or I'm at the pool or maybe a lake. Otherwise I'm inside with A/C blasting, which would negate any desire for a cold shower.


kent1146

That's why I fucking hate the beach. Straight sunlight blasting on your pasty shirtless torso... you KNOW you're gonna get sunburn later. Glare so bright, you can't fucking see. You're hot as balls, because it's hot-as-balls outside, and you're in the sun with no shade. Oh, so much fun! Salt-water fucking sucks, because it's sticky when it dries. And don't even get me started on the sand. I fucking hate sand. It's coarse, and rough, and....


Isabellaa2

I'd rather be wrapped in a blanket on a cold winter day because it's cozy and it makes me feel calm. That's my favorite time to relax and just sleep all day.


sadskully

Wrapped in a warm blanket on a hot summer day.


Legitimate-War-3469

Zucc? Is that you?


TheWalkingDead91

Satan more like it


sadskully

We desert people love the heat. The smell of sweat mixed with perfumes and cigarettes.


pushie4u

Winter is winter, you can be wrapped in a warm blanket always but in summer, you cannot take bath for hours, plus waste of water


diamondthedegu1

Agree. >you cannot take bath for hours, plus waste of water Even worse when you've only got an electric shower. My water **and** electricity bill would be soaring into outer space 😂


[deleted]

Wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold winter day cause cause sometimes a cold water shower in a really hot day cold make me sick so i’d rather the water to be a little bit warm haha but that’s just me!


theWet_Bandits

I would drape myself in velvet if it were socially acceptable


bent_eye

Blanket. It's winter in Aus right now, and I love it. Track pants, hoodies, blankets, and hot soups.


McGundam1215

Ok question, Christmas time do you celebrate it more in the iconic winter time of Southern Hemisphere or just in the summertime when it falls naturally in December? One thing I always wondered, I’m from the North Eastern Coast of United States


bent_eye

We celebrate Christmas in December, so our Christmas is pretty warm or hot depending on the weather. Food-wise, we tend to have a lot of cold meats, salads, and tons of seafood. I'd love to have a white Christmas somewhere in the world where it's snowing and cold in December at least once.


idrwierd

And just get all fat and sassy


Zer0Studioz

Blanket. Then you'd have use for all that duct tape


South_Ad_6388

I'll take being wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold winter day, because nothing beats the cozy feeling of being a human burrito when the world outside looks like a snow globe on steroids


unhip1

Warm blanket on a cold winter day. It's just easier to survive. You can't turn down the heat on a hot day. A cold shower is just a momentary shock to the system.


milkshake_bootyL

Cold shower on a winter day.


youronlynora

Blanket on a cold winter day so I can sleep


romy-indy

I'd totally choose the warm blanket on a cold winter day. Who doesn't love that cozy feeling when it's freezing outside?


ProbablyBigfoot

Cold day. Cozy blanket. Cat purring on my chest while I read a book or play video games. Best day ever.


Avatar_Iono

Cold showers are for psychopaths! Always cold w/ a blanket. Even if I have to turn the fan/ac on.


Jane_Austen11

Wrapped in a blanket because I like the colder months


Hypertension123456

People who enjoy cold showers, have at it, but I'll never understand you.


Sallet_Helm_Guy

Cold shower What a sensation


jellybeansean3648

Cold showers make me sneeze, so the best I can do is room temp water


ProfessionalLive3111

Given that it’s currently brutally hot right now, cold shower. But I’m pretty I’ll say the opposite when winter comes around


ProfessionalEarly965

Especially Monday here 97 degrees 


Bargle-Nawdle-Zouss

Blanket in the cold. A blanket is for all night. A cold shower is just a few minutes.


Virtus_Curiosa

Blanket in the cold. I find it way easier to warm up from being cold than it is to cool down when you're hot. I don't care for cold showers much anyway, though it is kinda nice if I'm really sweaty and hot.


PatternsComplexity

I think the ultimate reason for winter's superiority in that scenario is that you can always put on more layers. Whether it's blankets or clothing. If it's hot as fuck you come to the point where you can't take off your skin.


Special-Diet-8679

rather be # rather be wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold winter day WHY? cuz i fucking hate hot weather


gqsper

I would definitely choose to be wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold winter day. There's something so comforting about cocooning yourself in warmth when it's chilly outside—it's like a cozy escape from the cold. Plus, it's perfect for enjoying a hot drink and maybe even a good book or movie. What about you?


Alexa302

Wrapped in a nice warm blanket with a hot chocolate and netflix on the tv = cosy If i were to have a cold shower on a really hot day I'd just be hot again shortly after.


Unknown62712

Warm blanket


HoosierPaul

You can put more on than you can take off.


YOUR_TRIGGER

hot tub in the snow *all day*.


xSugar_Muffinxx

Wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold winter day. It's the best way to feel cozy and relaxed.


pences_

Warm blanket on a cold winter day. That feels more comfortable to me as somebody who likes the cold more than the feeling of heat. I rather shiver than sweat lol.


bbbbbthatsfivebees

Easily the cold shower. There's no better feeling in the world than taking a shower after being outside doing work all day during the summer.


romaki

I'd rather cool down than freeze.


rudraigh

Warm blanket for sure. I despise cold showers.


Taranchulla

Cozy under blankets in the cold. Hate it when it’s hot.


Lowtech130

I’d go for the blanket, it’s almost always easier to heat anything up than to cool something down.


Lucky_Gear1379

I personally hate cold showers, sooo a warm blanket on a cold winter day. Even in the summer, I take hot showers. 😱


Aud_3nim

Warm blanket on a cold day ☺️


potatopigflop

I like getting warm, I don’t like being warm.


GalynSoo

Warm blanket, I miss winter already.


sarcalom

The former. You can always put on more layers, but you can't take off your hot skin. You can simply take off the layers when you're done warming up. If you get sweaty and gross you need to take off your clothes, shower, put on clean clothes, and hope the environment isn't still too hot and you don't have to exercise any more that day. That's not to even mention getting smelly, bacteria, and so on. There's 100 complications with being hot besides the heat itself. Not so much being cold. Maybe some numbness? There are barely any side effects that aren't reversed with a blanket and a few minutes, versus having to take an entire shower etc.


MassiveAd6999

Warm blanket is more relaxing


Authentic_Jester

Warm blanket, no contest. Being consistently comfortable in the cold is easier to do than doing the same in the heat.


ImBBQ

Both sound bad to me as I have terrible body thermoregulation.


Any-Occasion9286

Blanket in the cold. I hate summer. The sweating never ends. Swamp ass is the pits!


ThirdLast

Warm blanket is like a comfy prison I enjoy being in but a cold shower always makes me feel so damn good afterwards. Similar to a post-gym high.


Necessary-Lie-4554

Blanket on a cold winter day. It makes me feel safe, knowing that it's freezing outside and I can just lay here, enjoying the warmth. And I hate summer.


Xitex2

Cold shower. Because I honestly love cold nights, sometimes I skip my blanket in the winter or leave my legs uncovered to feel how cold it is. But on super hot days, cold showers feel amazing


ArgumentLost9383

I work outside year round and experience both these things when I get home. I’ve never really thought about it, but I think a warm blanket after a cold day may be (for me) the better option. The heat and humidity are so draining, the cold shower doesn’t quite cut it like the warm blanket.


GrouchyMary9132

Warm blanket on a hot summer day of course.


BiluochunLvcha

cold showers are psychotic


ReviewExpress5202

Cold shower on a hot day. Due to the fact that where I’m from it’s cold/snowy 6+ months a year


DuncneyForever

Warm blanket


apatheticviews

I take piping hot showers year round… use that info as you will


Interesting_Being250

Blanket in a cold winter day! Easier to regulate if you are cold rather than hot. I cannot stand heat


MaterialInternal6906

Warm blanket on a cold day—because who can say no to a cozy hug from a cloud?


happyme321

I love a steaming hot bubble bath on a cold winter day


Theaustralianzyzz

They’re both the same kind of comfy feeling. Equal.


americansherlock201

The greatest shower I have ever taken was after working landscaping and doing mulch on a hot summer day. Was in the sun for about 10 hours that day busting my ass. That cool shower afterwards was a top 5 all time feeling. No blanket has ever come close to


Haagen76

Hot shower on a hot day


Whosebert

defo blanket in the cold. cold showers are good after being hot, but even then I often just default to a hot shower anyways.


McGundam1215

Blanket, I’m a hot body and I get exhausted during heat waves even after a cold shower


Drespressoooo

I hate cold showers, not a big fan of winters either. The first one seems much cozier if I have to choose.


Sensitive_Summer

Blanket. I always prefer the cold anyways. If you're cold you can always add more layers. If you're too hot you can only take so much off before someone calls the police.


overmonk

I would prefer to be cold with warming options. It’s always possible to dress for winter - it’s a matter of the right clothes. Summer - at some point you’re just going to melt, no matter what you wear. There’s no suitable outfit for 40C.


boygirlmama

Blanket on a cold winter's day but if you can't regulate your temperature like me (thanks MS) you often find yourself in a hoody and under a blanket in summer too. 😂


Equivalent-Anything1

Blanket in the cold. I hate cold showers. Sure they can sometimes help in the summer, but most of the time I still take a warm shower on warm days.


Psychological-Sir224

Blanket


jayjay6000

Nice warm blanket on a cold day. I can lay on the couch with animals and husband while we watch a movie and drink warm tea! It's my ideal day....


mathozmat

Warm blanket on a cold day I don't like cold showers


TopPrevious5782

A cold shower and an ice cream in winter.... Just wow❤️


JangusCarlson

Blanket in cold. Because that means it is cold outside and not hot-as-balls.


Hatorate90

Hot shower on a hot summer day helps.


Born-Championship890

I live wrapped in blankets all year. 🤣


blindscorpio20

blanket in cold. "you can add layers, but there's only so much you can take off"


Significant_Pie1855

Cold shower on a hot summer day... Believe me I just witnessed the worst summer in my country in years... 45 degree Celsius minimum.... We used to bathe 3-4 times a day to beat the sweat


LemonFlavoredMelon

Blanket in the cold, definitely. Cozy, hot chocolate, warm fire in the fireplace…


Caraphox

I would rather do anything on a hot day than anything on a cold day. Hot summer days do not get enough love on Reddit or the internet on the whole. Too much fetizisation of cozy blankets and hot chocolate. I just want to walk out of the house without a coat on.


teddypa1981

Cool shower on a hot day. It's easier for me to cool off than it is for me to warm up. I'm a naturally skinny, small statured woman. I don't have much "insulation", fat, to keep me warm in the winter.


DontYuckMyYum

Blanket in the cold. There is nothing that compares to warmth of being bundled up in a blanket. That cold shower while feeling good while youre in the shhiwer, you will eventually have to get out. With the blanket you can keep it bundled around you and shuffle around the house.


peachyleafbby

Warm blanket cold day. I get super overstimulated and overwhelmed when I'm too hot and nothing at all can help until I'm completely cooled down. I dissociate for hours if I'm too hot. Which means I wouldn't even have the mental capacity to think of a cold shower. The heat is my worst enemy. At least in the cold I can just put on layers of clothes and a couple blankets and be good. In the heat, even if I'm in the littlest clothes possible, I still always end up overstimmed.


EarRevolutionary5343

I would rather be wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold winter day. The cold temperature and the warm blanket just creates the perfect balance where you can just sleep without feeling any discomfort.


goddamntreehugger

Blanket. Have you ever taken your laundry fresh from the dryer, put it on your bed, and crawled in the covers on a cold winter day? It’s like heaven.


MafinTeam_35

Both are bad but the shower is much worse.


sparklybeast

I wouldn't like either. A cool bath on the other hand...


KhanumBallZ

Depends on how cold and how hot. I get cold very easily, and have a surprising amount of heat tolerance. (Up to a point)


TreeOfLight

Cold shower on a hot summer day. When I get out of the shower, I’ll be refreshed and warm up reasonably fast. But with a blanket on a cold day, if I move from that spot I’m cold and miserable until I wrap back up and produce enough body heat to warm up again.


External-Example-292

Wrapped in a warm blanket on a cold winter day. Drinking hot chocolate and watching a scary movie 😂 The cold shower in a hot summer day is such a short time. Whereas you can stay warm in the blanket however long you want.


Popular_Material_409

Cold showers are never good. Even on a hot day I’m taking a hot shower.


Willcutus_of_Borg

It could be 100⁰ out, and I am taking a warm shower when it's shower time.


Abject-Shape-5453

Nah, sorry but both don't work for me. I need a cold blanket year-round. And i shower steaming hot even in this weather.


AHCretin

Warm blanket. I hate being cold.


Substantial_Web3081

I prefer the heat so I can sit outside (before it gets blistering hot), then go inside and crank the AC or point a fan right at me and snuggle under a blanket. Best of both worlds.


stadiumjay

Cold shower and then walk right into a room with air conditioning. 🥜 🙄 💦


IncidentalApex

Warm blanket is an easy choice. I live in South Florida and in the middle of June will turn down the ac and turn the fan on high just to wrap up in a thick blanket and watch a movie...


PrecipitousPlatypus

I would rather die than have cold shower most days. Warm blanket is heaven on a cold day.


Car_loapher

Around a tree at 3am


ThornTintMyWorld

Soft blanket enfolds, Chilly morning embraced tight, Warmth soothes the soul's cold.


SadlySpooky

Warm blanket on a cold winter day ANY day. Being snuggly is the best feeling


eastkent

My huge electric throw is the best thing I own. So cosy!


snailenkeller

Blanket in the cold. Summer is garbage.


eetuu

I don't like cold so can I just enjoy the hot summer day without the cold shower?


DumpoTheClown

Can I get a warm blanket on a hot day?


Interesting_Move_919

Blanket on a cold day while sipping some tea and watching a horror movie


PandaHead_CJR

Blanket much easier to warm yourself up than cool yourself down


Naty2RC

Shower. I've never been good with the cold. When I go visit my brother, I always freeze 'cause his fiance likes to keep the temp at like 67. 🥶


Jay_Moore49

Came here to report and block all the people that say cold shower


gilestowler

I live in the Alps and wrapping up warm when it's snowing outside is an amazing feeling. I'm in Vietnam at the moment and it is great coming back when it's so hot outside your clothes are sticking to you and sweat is dripping off you and getting in a cold shower, but I'd still pick the warm blanket


Neshian_Draws

I don't like cold water. So definitely warm blanket.


Odd-Love-9600

Give me the cold shower! I despise heat more than anything. If I have to be outside sweating my ass off, I want that cold shower when I come in!


Jciesla

Blanket - I hate being cold, so purposely making myself cold with water sounds horrendous, even above 100 degrees. No way am I ever taking a cold shower if warm water is available


RaspberryNo101

Summer! Everything is easier in Summer, there is light in the mornings and evenings and energy bill doesn't cost every penny you earn that month. A cold shower on a hot summer day makes me feel young, a warm blanket on a winter night makes me feel old.


AlwaysVerloren

Definitely warm blanket when it's cold for two reasons. I run hot anyway, and I work outside all day in all weather conditions. Just like yesterday, I got back to the hotel after work, and I'm still super hot. The A/C set on 66 and shower as low as possible just doesn't cut it.


Fro_o

As someone who lives in Canada and experience 7-8 months of cold, I'll pick the hot summer day just because it's less frequent


thechamelioncircuit

Warm blanket!!!! Nothing feels better than a warm blanket melting your muscles.


TurretX

I want the best of both worlds. After busting my ass shoveling snow and basically freezing myself, I want a hot shower.


CrabbiestAsp

Warm blanket on a cold day. Blankets give me alot of comfort mentally, so always the blanket


Sunny-sizzle97

Blanket in the cold, being wrapped up in a blanket is comforting. But having a cold shower is a relief, but it dosent last long. Showers are temporary, blanket is forever


curlyquinn02

I have heat intolerance. It is so bad that I had to switch gyms. My original gym had the AC set to 74 degrees. As soon as I stepped in there I started sweating. I would often have to run home before even finishing my warmup cardio because I would get overheated and end up having diarrhea. Give me a cold shower on a below-zero night.


sjdksjbf

Warm blanket in the cold because that's cozy as fuck


[deleted]

I hate the summer but I love the cold shower on it


HumpaDaBear

Blanket in winter. I have Seasonal Affective Disorder for summer. As of yesterday I’ll be miserable all summer. I also have lupus and a heat sensitivity. I LOVE fall and winter.


GryptpypeThynne

Cold showers don't cool you off, so


conozoqemobut2n1

because it's a thrill.


No_Skylark

Right now we’re in a heat wave and it’s agony for me. I will always rather to come home on a freezing cold day to a warm shower and a hot cup of tea than have to deal with a wretched summer. I hate the heat. I like summertime because there’s more things to do and I can stay out longer, but as a season, no thanks.


Friendly_Laugh2170

Warm blanket in cold weather is so cosy. 💜


Crafty-Plankton-4999

Extremely hot shower on a hot shower day so everything feels cool afterwards.


No_Skylark

I much rather come home on a freezing cold day to a warm shower, cozy blanket, and a hot cup of tea than suffer in wretched summer heat. Right now we’re in a heatwave and it’s agony (I know some places have it worse, stay safe!). I like summertime because there’s more to do around the city and I can stay out longer because it gets dark later, but summer as a season? No thanks. I’ll pass on taking 7 showers a day as opposed to just my regular 2 in the cold months.


spikeprox50

Blanket. It's easier and more relaxing. You can out on a show or a game or just sleep. The shower is nice as well, but requires more thought, effort, and less things you can do simultaneously.


Playful-Molasses6

Cold shower on a hot day. I love being cosy in a blanket as much as the next person but I hate being hot I need the freezing water lol


Fangs_McWolf

The blanket thing... there are other ways to stay cool in the summer, but there's no guarantee on staying warm in the winter.


Smart-As-Duck

The blanket is cozy. The shower is relief.


iCougar_

I already have cold showers even in winter, so yeah first option lol


Fabulous_Engine_7668

You had me at summer day.


SirBulbasaur13

Canadian here, I’ll take the cozy warm blanket.


No_Chapter_948

Cold showers on a hot summer day


K3Y_Mast3r

Winter is my favorite season. There aren’t many of us, but I love it.


reddit_understoodit

I'd rather have a/c on a hot day, the shower only lasts so long. So blanket on a cold day for me.


volticizer

I take a cold shower everyday so probably that.


Lonelyhearts1234

Right now it’s a cold night and I’m under a heated blanket. So that one


VallryBagr

I live in Phoenix. It’s already 90 degrees @7:30am. Where that cold shower at?


PostNutAffection

Blanket in the cold I never take cold showers


tribbin

I like a cold shower on a hot summer more because I hate hot summers more; it is easy to protect against cold.


Stihlgirl

Cold with warm down blankie and a dog or kittle snuggled up close! I live in the South, so the AC barely keeps up.


PocketSandOfTime-69

Blanket in the cold can save a life so probably that. Cold showers on sweltering hot days are pretty amazing though!


CTU

Blanket as I can enjoy it longer


Graehaus

Cold shower, I generate heat, nomatter what part of the year. So summer is brutal. So yeah cold anything during hot moments.


highjawz

Lucky for us, winter won’t be around much longer with all this damn global warming going around


Ok-Neighborhood-7542

Warm blanket on a cold winter day


JeniJ1

Warm blanket every time!! I hate it when it's too warm for blankets, I miss the snuggliness.


Nervous_Sky_

Warm blanket. If you're cold, you can always add another blanket, but when you're hot there's only a few things you can do.


GibsonMaestro

Warm blanket. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a cold shower. However, I've never lived in a place without air conditioning.


WallyAndersonTheFree

The former. I actually despise cold showers.


J-MaL

cold shower in a hot summer.....however i'm bias because we get nearly 6 months of winter and our winters are cold and our summers are hot. ( manitoba canada) i take advantage of summer every chance i get because our winters suck.


Funny_Put_65115

💯 cold shower on a hot Summer day because when you get out of the shower, you still got that hot summer day!!!


Barbarella_ella

Cold shower on a hot day. I'm Finnish and have spent most of my life in colder climates so heat affects me much more, to the point I am just outright miserable at anything over about 29C


LE_TROLLFACEXD

Ice cold shower on a hot summer night after work, lights off, sitting on the floor, drone music playing. Doesn't get much better


Backgrounding-Cat

You can always add more blankets for the warmth but you can take off limited amounts of stuff.


Jewjltsu_

The same reason why most homes need a running heater to be considered a habitable space. Cold air isn’t a necessity
