Which CX lounge has the best shower facilities at HKG?
I've got 3.5 hours in transit on an upcoming trip and am looking forward to trying out each of the CX lounges as I've passed through HKG many times but never in J.
Arriving from LHR the first thing I want to do is have a good shower to freshen up. I know it's subjective, but what is the general consensus on which lounge has the best showers and washing facilities?
I'm flying on to SYD on QF so expect to finish in either the Qantas lounge or the new Deck lounge next door.

I prefer the showers at The Pier. They may be smaller than The Wing but ventilation is better and they also have AESOP products.

The Pier is a long trek, unless you hit a transit point on the way. Showers there are the best of the CX lounges. Haven’t looked at showers at The Deck, but it’s a small lounge after all. If I were you, would stay at QF Lounge if possible. It’s still the best OW lounge overall at HKG (The Pier got close after opening, but look at the sodexo thread....)

The QF lounge showers are fine and waay better than the BA Heathrow ones. For CX I've always liked the Wing showers, rooms large enough to live in... but that's in F and I'm not sure what J is like. By the way the Espresso Martini in the QF lounge is far superior to even the CX First lounges.

CX Deck (Gate 16) - Aesop products, similar to Pier in size but poor ventilation
CX Pier J (Gate 64) - Aesop products, good ventilation
CX Wing J (Gate 2) - Unidentifiable bath products, Jurlique facial cleanser and lotion, rooms generally larger than Pier and Deck but ventilation also poor
CX Wing F (Gate 2) - Unidentifiable bath products, Jurlique facial cleanser and lotion, huge rooms with good ventilation, esp so if you can get a cabana

I never knew CX (or their outsourced contractors) would be so lustful. Perhaps they can channel some of the raunchiness to their food instead. 
Last time I was in the Wing (about 1 year ago), shampoo and body wash were in large, unlabeled bottles. Couldn't tell the quality but bottle looks Watson's to me.

The Pier is definitely the best in my opinion. The ventilation is key for me, and I can stay nice and cool in those showers. Water pressure is good and nice Aesop products.
Haven't been in HKG since The Deck opened so maybe it is better.

Didn't want to create a new thread. I'm flying MLE -> HKG arriving at 8am. I'm flying Y and wife in J. We have a 10 hour layover til our JFK flight. She's flying F and myself in J. We'd like to shower before heading out for the day. Is the Arrival the best option for her or would we be able to access anything else?
