[Closed] How many showers per day?

I don’t see the point in a “whore’s bath” either, having a good wash at the sink takes longer than a shower

I've worked with people who thought a "Shower in a Can" was good enough.

New deodorant on top of old deodorant . . . noooooo!

Was told it was called an Essex shower, but I guess it’s like a “Saughton fanny” and has numerous names depending on location

One for me usually, in the morning. If i’m going out on the bike I will wait until after but I I plan to go for a run I will have a quick morning shower followed by a proper one after exercise. Sometimes have a bath after the kids are put to bed.

Very rare that I wouldn’t have either a shower or bath every day as I don’t like to feel grubby.

I don't think the amount of showers/water matters as much as the type and amount of product you're using while you're in there.

Someone with time on their hands needs to cross-correlate this thread with the "stinky office-mate" threads.

I only shower when required - it's not a fixed routine, so a couple a week on average and at least one bath too. Wash my bits every day though and brush teeth at least 3 times a day. Time my showers for after a cycle/exercise if possible*. More if i'm going out or seeing a lady friend.

*Just joined a gym so that number will probably increase.

How long are people showering for?

4min once a day in the morning.

maybe this thread could be linked to the one about saving the planet and trying to cut down on using resources and stuff

you know like energy and water and chemicals

Despite the 1-3 showers a day I use 32 cubic M a year of water (average is 52 for a 1 bed flat) I don't own a car and my total energy bill is £470 a year for heating/water/cooking

I'm not a tree hugger but I'm certainly not raping the planet!

Wasn't there a thread not so long ago about jeans and some folk wearing them for months without washing them? Any of the twice daily showerers in that camp?

Once per day in the evening, twice if biking to work.
Squirrelking, use a towel only once? That's amazing, your washer must be busy.

oneupmanship, OCD, tribalism, environmentalism & paranoia all rolled up into a single thread - brilliant!

😆

towels get used once

How dirty is your body [u]after[/u] you have showered that you have to lob the towel straight in the wash?

We ourselves and the stuff we touch too often in my opinion.

I consider that excessive compared to growing up the 70s and 80s when one bath a week, inc hair wash was all I got.

Once a day in the mornings, plus after a dirty ride.
I only use shower gel / shampoo every few days, usually it's just water.

So how many times do you use a towel?

Given I can sweat just by thinking about it I don't really fancy wiping that over myself, or someone else again. That's before you start getting between toes and such.

I used to use a lot of soap and had all sorts of problems with my skin. Now I shower once a day, but only one application of soap and then a long long warm rinse. Not too hot. Skin feels great 🙂

3/4 day, one when I get up, one when I get in and one post ride, and the fourth will depend on nookie activity.

So 3 then.

Yeah, generally 3 😳

I can't believe people use towels!

Get all clean then rub some potentially dirty cloth over yourselves? Filth monsters.

I just run around naked to dry off. Inside in the winter, outside in the summer.

Change towel once a week. Generally try to clean myself (inc between toes) when showering so 99.9% of what the towel is removing is actual water. Yes, there must be some skin rubbed off (hence why the towel needs washing at all) but I'm happy that once a week (so 7-10 uses) is a happy compromise.

Showers per DAY? really? I'd hazard a guess at 3/4 times per WEEK.

Isn't "how many showers per week" a simpler question, for the sake of avoiding decimals?

I shower before bed as I like a clean sleep 🙂

Never even thought about the condition of my skin. But that's not the kind of person I am anyway. I may have accidentally got some moisturiser on my hands once. I washed it off right away.

Odd thread, I thought everyone showered at least once a day.. at a time to suit themselves 😆

Some of you must properly stink, and are single, or have no contact with other human beings.. 😆

We are basically animals that produce all sorts of nasty stinky smells and excretions, you’d be a fool not to clean that gunk off at least once a day.

Dirty, dirty people.

Some of you need a good jet wash! At least daily often twice a day.

In answer to the OP is she drinking enough water, moisturising or this skin brushes might help.

Happily married here, never had anyone complain about smell. Don't use deodorant either.

Pro tip, if you don't scrub yourself raw with chemicals 3 times a day, you don't need to moisturise!

From reading some of the replies on here I’m guessing a lot of you are germophobes, smell like the body shop, and are probably virgins.

Embrace your healthy man musk.

..and for 99.9999% of our 5 million year existence we washed as required or not at all just like every other animal. Those excretions are there for a reason.

Anybody wash their dog once a day?

The dog gets washed when he starts to smell a bit funky.

[quote=jonnyboi ]Anybody wash their dog once a day?

if that is a euphemism, then, yes at least once a day. If its literal, then, no.

Bidets.

Fewer showers, more bidets. I mean, who wipes their arses with paper? Spreading all your excrement. Dingleberries, clag nuts, whatever.

They never really took off in the UK did they?

A bidet a day keeps the cheese away 😆

And they say people in the west are incredibly wasteful with water supplies....

🙂 Yup

Dunno about you Alice but I tend to keep my shite in the one area as opposed to spreading it about like Nutella. As for dangleberries, there is a very easy preventative solution...

I have a patch of dust at the bottom of the garden, I have a good roll around in it twice a week.

I once had a shower when I didn't need one!

Ah the old Spanish/ Portugese / Finnish shower, depending on country you reside and their rival land.

Although Spanish shower has other meanings too, which would definitely require a shower and a change of bedsheets if it occurred.

Average every couple of days but always after exercise.
My jeans probably get worn daily for 1-2 weeks unless I'm scrabbling about under the car or suttin.

I have a weird dermatitis thing on my hands, use Sanex etc but it's still a nightmare and I'm sure washing too much makes it worse.

I teach adults so am subject to the extremes of body odour. Usually everything is just fine though.

The worst is the teenage lads who drop noxious Lynx bombs in public spaces... 😐

I'm sixty years old ..from the age of around sixteen when I was seriously starting to take interest in girls I have either showered or had a bath & washed my hair every day of my life at least once ( barring illness when I couldn't ) per day ..
All this bollox about washing out essential oils is just that ..total bollox .
I don't have dry skin and still have a full head of hair and my own teeth ..
I wouldn't feel clean doing anything else ..reading some of the comments above there are some right mingers..

Someone should correlate this thread with the bikepacking ones.
