What do you call the plastic or metallic bowl used to take a bath without a shower? @nostupidquestions@lemmy.world @nostupidquestions@lemmy.ca @whatisthisthing

It is a hand held device used to get water from the bucket, a tub, or a bigger tank to poor it on oneself. It could look like a bug mug or a pan, maybe without a handle.

@nostupidquestions Found it. It is a "dipper".
- Oh yes, like the Big Dipper and Little Dipper in the sky. Dippers have also been used to drink or draw up water from a well or other low source. For other reasons than washing.
  
  @Mouselemming yes. The dipper can be used for a lot of things as you mentioned.
  
  I am surprised it is not used a lot on Europe.
washbasin
A wash tub?
The bath tub?
- think they mean a plastic jug to fill up from the tap and pour over your head
  
  @perviouslyiner @variants Yes, a jug. Or more likely a Dipper. Just found it moments ago.
@dragnucs Good question. 🤔
