You could also say "I need to bathe".
Bathe is pronounced 'bay-the' - with a long 'ay' sound. The 'the' sound is blended into the end of the 'ay' sound, making it almost sound like the 'V' letter has been added to the end of the word.

I'd have to say that the "th" sound in "bathe" does not sound at all like a "v" to my American ears.

Nor to mine!

It would have the "v" sound if the speaker were a native Spanish-speaker

Not at all! I'm a native Spanish speaker and it doesn't sound like "v" for me
