RE: Voy a darme un baño

I was wondering whether a reflexive form will turn out to be in common usage — such as “bañarse”.

Likewise, how will the phrase “me darme” work? Maybe an idiomatic usage is in play here?

Thanks.

(2) Spanish Guide :

“Voy a darme” (and other conjugated forms) is common in a wide variety of uses. E.g.:

Voy a darme a la fuga — I’m going to escape / get out of here

Voy a darme un paseo — I’m going to take a walk

Then for “Voy a darme un baño”,
to say”I’m going to give myself a bath”, could one say “Voy a me darme un baño” and not sound awkward yet use the reflexive form “darse”?

Thanks.

“me darme” is ungrammatical. I have no idea why you want to use “me” twice…
