How long do you spend in the shower?

Not long enough (not because I'm mucky) but because bloomin kids interrupting every 2 mins.😂

Can be anything from a 5 minute rinse to half an hour.

Heuschrecke · 30/11/2018 18:14

Probably no more than 10 minutes - so that's a body wash first, then hair wash, then conditioner and face wash, then a rinse.

BiscuitDrama · 30/11/2018 18:15

About two minutes. Longer if I’m washing my hair, but only about 5 or 6 minutes.

Forever. The bathroom door is a slide door which doesn't lock either, we have a walk in shower, so 9 times out of 10 my 2dc are in there with me!

Meet0nTheIedge · 30/11/2018 18:22

About two mins if I'm not washing my hair. 5 mins if I am washing it.

IStandWithPosie · 30/11/2018 18:25

Depends what I need to do. If I’m not washing hair or shaving then 3ish minutes. If I’m washing hair and shaving then 15-20 minutes. As a teenager I could spend and hour+ in the shower! Shock

About 5 minutes for the actual showering; then 2 minutes to squeegee the screen doors and dry the taps etc; then another 2 minutes to dry myself; then 2 minutes teeth cleaning; then 2 minutes applying serums and moisturiser; then about 7 minutes to dry my hair; then 5 minutes deciding what to wear and another 3 minutes to get dressed.

So, I need a minimum of about half an hour to get ready to go out. Fortunately, I don't wear makeup otherwise it would be a lot longer!

4 mins or less. I've got a little sand timer on the shower to monitor and reduce water/power. Just a habit I picked up whilst travelling around many campsites in Australia.

IStandWithPosie · 30/11/2018 18:42

then another 2 minutes to dry myself

Confused how can it take 2 minutes to dry yourself especially after you’ve just spent two minutes drip drying while you squeegee the shower doors and dry the taps?

Twenty minutes. It's my one blissful chunk of uninterrupted me-time in the morning before I have to start making breakfasts and lunches and shouting at people to get up and clean their teeth and get dressed. I could probably do it all in less time but I don't want to!

EyeRolls · 30/11/2018 18:44

Get wet. Lather. Rinse. Out- max 2 mins.

If it's hairwash & shave, more like 5 mins.

Hate lingering in the shower.

Baths on the other hand....

KonaMum · 30/11/2018 18:45

About 2 mins if not hairwashing. Max of 5 mins if washing hair. Tend to shave legs with the water off, then rinse as it takes a while.

Seniorschoolmum · 30/11/2018 18:45

5-6 mins

PerverseConverse · 30/11/2018 18:45

12 mins to clean teeth (before I get in) wash hair, wash face, apply conditioner, wash body, shave legs and underarms, rinse conditioner, apply toner and moisturiser to face.

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 30/11/2018 18:48

9 minutes form prepare shower to out and dry including hair.
I timed it bec. of an argument with DS.

TokyoSushi · 30/11/2018 18:49

About 7/8 minutes

PhilomenaButterfly · 30/11/2018 18:51

25 minutes if I'm washing my hair, 5 minutes otherwise.

halfwitpicker · 30/11/2018 19:06

8 mins I reckon.
