# One doesn’t need to make a new Bracha after bathing. However, it’s preferable to have in mind while making the Bracha in the morning only to cover the [[Tzitzit]] until that point in time and then after bathing a new Bracha would be required. <Ref> Beiur Halacha s.v. VeYesh quotes Artzot HaChaim 8:86 in name of the Kol Eliyahu 2:2 to say that a new Bracha is needed for bathing, however, Beiur Halacha writes that the minhag is not to make a new bracha, and concludes that it’s better to have in mind not to cover the wearing of [[Tzitzit]] after bathing and then one can make the Bracha afterwards. So writes [[Tzitzit]] Halacha Pesuka by Rav Tzvi Kohen 8:80. </ref> However, if one bathed for a long time (and removed one’s mind from [[tzitzit]]) one should make a new Bracha. <Ref> Sh”t Tzitz Eliezer 13:4, Sh”t Bear Moshe 6:4(11), Ben Ish Chai Beresheet 10, and Kaf HaChaim 8:56 hold that for bathing which takes a long time requires a new Bracha, whereas, tevilah, which is short doesn’t require a new Bracha.
