How do the Amish shower? The strict Amish are not allowed to take showers. We had a galvanized bathtub. We also did not have hot running water so we had to heat our water and then we would mix the hot and cold water together, and a few kids took a bath, and we changed the water until everybody had a bath. Some of the less strict Amish are allowed to have Showers. They use solar panels and propane for their showers. #examishgirl #booktok #amish #books #amishwomen #bookrecommendations #amishbooks
