vanity sizing and bathroom fittings so. the house in which i live was built in the 1960s. the upstairs bathroom had not been updated until last week when repairs became mandatory so we just redid the whole thing. the original tub was fine, as size goes. not luxuirous or anything, but my body fit into it just fine even with the overflow drain.   but the new tub that was just installed is INSANE. i could drown myself in this thing before a drop of bubblegum-blue bathbomb water went into the overflow drain. i asked if it was some kind of special fancy megatub and the answer was NOPE, JUST A STANDARD TUB.   i fail to believe that this is some modern luxury-hunger. this has got to be vanity sizing. i took a bath in it after work this morning and only filled it halfway whereas the old one needed to be filled right up to the overflow drain to fully submerge my titty girl body.   the upside is that i now have a nice new bathroom that is much easier to economize my bathing in, simply because it's a nice clean setting.
