Have a body shower every day in summer and every other day in the winter and wash my hair around 3 times a week

Less often than we have this thread

You beat me to it I can't understand the fascination of how often others shower / bath wash bedding / towels

Huntswomanonthemove · 14/07/2022 23:45

Once a year, I have a shower whether I need one or not.

MarshaMelrose · 14/07/2022 23:46

Your skin thanks you to shower as little as you can.

I told my psychologist (in my late 30s) that I bathe at least once a day. She accused my dad of sexually abusing me!

DramaAlpaca · 14/07/2022 23:46

Every morning.

Confusedteatowel · 14/07/2022 23:46

If I'm working/exercising in close proximity to other people/going out etc then every day.

At home with DC usually every other day.

During mat leave it was more like twice a week.

DaisyStPatience · 14/07/2022 23:51

Once or twice a week.

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.

Bleach? Amateur. I use turpentine.

Hoolahulahoop · 14/07/2022 23:59

Christmas Eve and sometimes on my birthday 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sunnytwobridges · 15/07/2022 00:52

Twice a day. Maybe three times if I do a work out in the middle of the day.

BadLad · 15/07/2022 03:22

Twice a day.

Used to be once a day - I need my morning shower to wake up properly.

DW is Japanese, and Japanese people cannot entertain the thought of not showering before bed. So, not wanting to be kicked out of bed, I also shower in the evening now. I turn the water off while I'm scrubbing, lathering, shampooing etc.

It surprises me how many people in the UK apparently shower less than once a day. Or more correctly, it surprised me the first few times I read threads on this topic.

StClare101 · 15/07/2022 04:14

Every day. If I exercise then it’s twice a day as I shower in the morning and exercise at night. I can’t get my head around anything less than once a day.

Ladyof2022 · 15/07/2022 05:06

I live alone and am very sedentary so never get sweaty.

Shower about twice a week, plus whenever I know I am going to be physically close to someone e.g. dentist, doctor, friend coming round.

In hot weather I shower more often. In winter a bit less, except if it's freezing then I might shower to get warm.

On non-shower days, I wash "downstairs" at basin at night. I also, unlike others, wash my bottom after every poo. I don't think a bit of dry paper is sufficient.
