Do you have your daily shower/bath in morning or evening?

Morning here..

But wondering if it should be evening? So I'm sparkling for bed (I just wash face and hands before bed)... Or should I just shower twice a day?

What are you doing daily that would require showering twice a day? And does your bed care how clean you are when you get into it? It’s just personal preference I guess but morning makes more sense to me.

Always morning for me, I have no energy by the evening times

Longlazyday · 14/03/2024 22:21

Always shower before bed. Thought of sleeping in the grime of my day not particularly appealing.

Oh nothing exciting...just wondering if I swapped it to evening, maybe I'd feel a bit yucky not showering in the morning?? But maybe evening only shower people will be here to tell me otherwise?

I think people generally tend to fall into one camp and think people in the other camp are gross.

Sanch1 · 14/03/2024 22:23

Morning unless I've exercised in the evening.

Helloandgoodmorning2 · 14/03/2024 22:23

Shower and wash hair every other day in the morning. I use a flannel/soap at the sink on the other day.

MadamVastra · 14/03/2024 22:24

Evening or after exercise

Ponderingwindow · 14/03/2024 22:24

Evening. I like to remove the contamination of the day before I get into bed.

LaWench · 14/03/2024 22:25

I do either but I prefer a morning shower to be awake, fresh and clean for the day but if I'm washing my hair and having a proper pamper then I only have time in the evening for all that.

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 14/03/2024 22:25

I used to work in a school. Evening every time to scrub away the days dirt and germs.

treacledan71 · 14/03/2024 22:26

Bath or shower on the night. Makes me feel relaxed. If in rhe office I dont have time in the morning. Might occasionally have a quick body shower. Sometimes I will do this also in the morning wfh especially in the summer.

TammyJones · 14/03/2024 22:26

Morning for me.
Wakes me up and I'm all clean and fresh - public facing job.
Weekend maybe later in the day.
Wash hands and face before bed.
Not grimy particularly unless I've been gardening.

But then , the thought of sweaty overnight grime eg sex, hot flush, general bed fetidness would make you stinky in the morning and to those who come in contact with you. Your bits must rank.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 14/03/2024 22:27

Morning - I kind of need it to wake up. Sometimes have a bath in the evening too, but more as a leisure activity than as a way of cleaning myself.

Tozin · 14/03/2024 22:27

I do either. But I prefer evening shower.

i love that clean feeling getting in to pjs and into a comfy bed

Morning always, plus after exercise always, so sometimes twice, I know! 😲

Houseplanter · 14/03/2024 22:29

Morning to start the day.. can't imagine getting dressed for the day without...
And again I the evening to wash off the day.

Anything less is just bleurgh

MHMIL · 14/03/2024 22:30

Sometimes mornings. Sometimes evening. Sometimes both.

Depends on a few variables.

Day of the week. What's happening at work. If my hair needs a wash/legs need shaved. If sex is on the cards. If we had sex the night before. Etc etc etc.

CrushingOnRubies · 14/03/2024 22:30

Evening if I've got work means an extra 30 mins in bed

Morning if I'm not working

Cat2024 · 14/03/2024 22:30

Morning shower person. It wakes me up and I have public-facing job so makes me feel more presentable.
i don’t think I am
too dirty or contaminated as pp has put it for my bed. 🤣🤣I just wash hands and face in the evening. Though on the rare occasion that I have a bath in the evening, I have to admit, it does feel good.

TheChosenTwo · 14/03/2024 22:30

Quick shower in the morning to wake up,
less than 10 minutes.
Usually have a bath in the evening which is for relaxation and then a shower afterwards to rinse off and wash hair etc.

NuffSaidSam · 14/03/2024 22:30

Evening.
