| Dec 22, 2015 at 12:38 | comment | added | Melvin Roest | I don't see the answer text box that I'd normally see, I did scroll down and text matched on "answer" and "reply", but I can't find it. It probably has something to do with the protected status. It's still odd, since my rep. is high enough. | |

| Dec 22, 2015 at 12:33 | comment | added | Melvin Roest | Can't add it as an answer, but I'd use the Wim Hof Method (WHM). It has several scientific publications (e.g. PNAS). As a breathing technique it has several effects on your body. I know this because I was one of the test subjects in a study from a Dutch university. The effect that I always go for when I deal with cold things and the WHM is to raise my adrenaline. It has a pain killing effect. I can also warm my body a little bit. You can also Google a bit about Wim Hof by typing his nickname "The Iceman". His method is learnable. PNAS Paper: innerfire.nl/files/pnas.pdf | |

| Jul 31, 2014 at 12:42 | comment | added | Tony | Wow... I am just stupidied by your toilet link.. and the thought of cold water only showers! This would explain why my old roommate insisted on cold showers as he was from another country and he was probably used to it from where he came from. He refused to use the AC and taking a cold shower was the only way I could sleep at night because it would be so hot and the shower would help lower my body temperature. Luckily there was hot water so I would start warn and go cooler until the coldest I could handle. Not sure how to start out cold though :x | |

| Jul 30, 2014 at 5:34 | comment | added | noob | @AdityaSomani Yeah, that's why I didn't posted it as an answer. But anyways it might help the OP, if she have other ways to take bath. | |
| Jul 30, 2014 at 5:27 | comment | added | Aditya Somani | @noob That method is not applicable on a shower and is only applicable to a bucket and jug. | |
| Jul 30, 2014 at 4:59 | comment | added | noob | You can always get a simple water heating rod, if you're in India. It costs around $4-5 for a cheap one. To use it you can use a coat hanger and fix the clip on it. | |
| Jul 30, 2014 at 3:52 | comment | added | hippietrail | @AndrewT.: Jumping around increases heart rate and blood flow. It's even better if you have a workout just before your cold shower. | |

| Jul 29, 2014 at 8:23 | comment | added | Andrew T. | Many good answers have been posted, and I agree with all of them. Just a small thing that I want to add based on self-experience: jumping around after getting contact with cold water helps me easier to adapt to the coldness, although I don't know why and whether it's acceptable for health or not. | |

| Jul 28, 2014 at 21:43 | comment | added | Nean Der Thal | I faced the same problem when I start spending more time in Indonesia, water is cold and most apartments I rented before I bought a house had no water heater, till I discovered the tankless instant water heaters, I got one for less than a 100 USD and my life changed after that, I took it with me when I plan to stay for extended periods in a place. Two screws to hold it in place and plug it in and you will have the warm nice showers, it wont be convenient for short stays. It's too small the one I got and so light, little bigger than a tissue box. | |

| Jul 28, 2014 at 7:32 | comment | added | Axel | I really like this question because I face this very problem at least once a year. It still takes about 3 days to get used to, but then, I really enjoy it. The main point from Aditya's answer I want to underline is "practice makes a man perfect!". | |
