Shower every morning.
Will shower again if I do something that gets me hot & sweaty and/or dirty.

Shower most, but not necessarily all, days. Never go more than 1 day without and that'll be when I've showered the evening before, and will then shower the morning after.

Depends what I've been doing / the temperature / various other factors.

DenholmElliot1 · 14/07/2022 22:31

5 minute shower every morning wash everything.

Another shower if I go out in the evening which isn't often.

FreezyFreezy · 14/07/2022 22:41

DockOTheBay · 14/07/2022 22:47

Every other day

HerRoyalHappiness · 14/07/2022 22:49

Whenever my mum can get down to help me. So 3 or 4 times a week.

StarDolphins · 14/07/2022 22:51

Every morning & sometimes an extra quick night one if I’ve had sun cream on!

bloodywhitecat · 14/07/2022 22:52

Daily, it is my five minutes of peace before I get the babies up.

PurpleDaisies · 14/07/2022 22:52

At the moment, once an hour

Sweatymess2022 · 14/07/2022 22:53

Someone at work mentioned they only shower once a week, and said it so matter of factly as though any more than that is too much. He doesn't smell (that I notice).

For myself, before covid it used to be every day, sometimes twice a day.
During lockdown I started going 4-5 days between showers. I think I was suffering from depression of at least struggling with my mental health back then but didn't realise.
Once I started going back into the office, this increased to every other day.
I'm now considering dropping a day so if I shower Monday, the next day being Thursday (unless very hot like currently) to save money on water and electric.

I just wanted to see what most other people do, so thanks for that.

Shower daily. Twice if it’s been exceptionally hot and I’ve been running errands or outside all day like this week.

PinkButtercups · 14/07/2022 22:57

Every night.

XenoBitch · 14/07/2022 22:57

I do a flannel wash at the sink. I hate showers. I hate being naked and I hate being wet, and all that follows afterwards.
A sink wash serves me fine.

Mybeautifulfriend22 · 14/07/2022 22:58

Daily, or a bath twice a week instead of a shower that day. If it’s very hot/sweaty weather maybe two. I have short showers, don’t wash my hair every day.

Rupertgrintismyguiltypleasure · 14/07/2022 22:58

Usually every other day I shower, at the moment with this heatwave it’s been daily as I’ve lost like a gallon of sweat 😓

I've said it before, I'll say it again: you're all filthy mingers.

I scrub myself down top to toe five times a day with wire wool and bleach.

turquoisebuttons · 14/07/2022 23:01

5-6 days a week.
