Most women only lose a couple of tablespoons of blood during their period. The blood is not usually flowing at a rate that is noticeable at all - in a shower, what tiny amounts of blood that did come out would instantly be washed away by the water.
In a tub, the water pressure might actually stop your flow from coming out at the same rate it would if you were out of water. Plus, you will be lying back and that also makes blood flow lighter - which is why you might experience a gush of blood when you sit up for the first time in the morning.
Either way is perfectly safe and natural to clean yourself during your period. Stick to your normal routine and things will be fine.
