Dear me no, not fill. Maybe think of it as a sitting shower. I use a shower wand on a hose to wash, and depending on mood and whether I've recently colored my hair I may or not plug the drain (having a layer of water helps keep excess hair dye from staining the tub). If I plug the drain then the tub only fills up maybe an inch.

Then, if I need to relax or soak my muscles, I'll fill the tub with fresh water and soak up to my ears.

I don't stand for showers because reasons, but I call what I do a "bath" because to me, "shower"=standing or somehow elevated from the tub.

tbh everyone with a bath should do this just because it's vastly safer than standing on a wet surface, plus you don't need extra space for a separate shower

We're thinking of getting a shower stool for my partner because he has trouble standing for a full shower (long, curly hair takes him forever to deal with), but his legs don't fit gracefully in the tub.
