Bathtub

A bathtub is an object that appears in most of The Sims games. The primary use is improving a Sim's hygiene, as well as other traits or moods. Bathtubs are generally 2x1 objects, but The Sims, The Sims Deluxe Edition, and The Sims 3: High-End Loft Stuff have high-end bathtubs that are 2x2.

Some bathtubs have shower fixtures, but most do not.

The Sims
A Sim who uses a bathtub may sometimes leave a puddle of water on the floor in front of the tub, which will have to be cleaned. Children will almost always leave puddles. Bathtubs in The Sims (and expansions) also provide Comfort.

Justa Bathtub
"There's nothing like improving your hygiene with a long, hot, soothing bath after a hard day. The immediate effects of the Justa are a general sense of well-being, relaxation, lowered tension and stress. In addition there is the psychological effect of the pleasure of bathing. Unique lozenge shape and 'one size fits all' design makes the Justa bathtub a top seller."

Bathtubs are used to bathe toddlers. If Pets is installed, bathtubs are used to bathe dogs.
