Cute Young Dark Blonde Girl Having A Shower In The Bathroom

A shower (or shower-bath, walk-in shower, steam shower) is a place in which a person bathes under a spray of water. A shower uses less water than a bath: 80 litres on average for a shower compared to 150 litres for a bath.
History
The original showers were neither indoor structures nor man-made, but were common natural formations: waterfalls. The falling water rinsed the bathers completely clean and was more efficient than bathing in a traditional basin, which required manual transport of both fresh and waste water. Ancient man began to reproduce these natural phenomena by pouring jugs of water, often very cold, over themselves after washing. There has been evidence of early upper class Egyptian and Mesopotamians having indoor shower rooms where servants would bathe them in the privacy of their own homes. However, these were a far cry from modern shower facilities; they had only rudimentary drainage systems and water was carried, not pumped, into the room.
