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?

I do both!

Morning on weekdays at least, at weekends if I'm heating the sauna then I shower in the evening.

lifebeginsaftercoffee · 15/03/2024 06:20

During the week it's as soon as I get in from work, which is around 2pm (dog walker). I'm always sweaty and covered in muck.

At weekends it's first thing in the morning.

Morning as I go for a jog usually in the mornings. Even when I don't run, I couldn't go to work in the am without showering- that would feel absolutely gross to me, plus it wakes me up and makes me feel really energised and fresh for the day.

Shower in the morning, bath in the evening

This! It's just the best of both worlds isn't it. The lovely morning wake up and the relaxing evening soak.

I don't even care if people come at me for it 😀

Shower/bath in the evenings after work Monday to Friday. Shower in the morning Saturday and Sunday

StarlightLady · 15/03/2024 06:33

I shower in the mornings, maybe weekends l would have a bath instead depending on plans.

l usually have a bath in the evenings before bed as well. If l’m going out for the evening, l’ll have a quick shower beforehand.

Evening here. Couldn't have sex without having an evening shower. Do all the morning shower people not have sex?

Some of the comments on here 😂

Especially this one.

Yes, which is exactly why I have a shower in the morning! 😏

Ohhh so you get out of bed, shower then go and have sex?

bluecomputerscreen · 15/03/2024 06:48

evening.
5 of us (3 teens) and the bathrooms are basically blocked whilst everyone is getting ready.

quick pits&bits with a flannel and teeth brushed in the morning.

You seem to be having real trouble figuring this out- I have sex at night (usually) then shower in the morning. I cant imagine having sex and then just getting up in the morning without having a wash- thats gross

I am having trouble understanding showering in the morning, then having all the days sweat, discharge, juices, etc on you and having sex without washing yes. There's no way in hell I could do that. Maybe I'm dirtier than everyone else!

silentassassin · 15/03/2024 06:53

Morning- I couldn't get out of bed and not have a shower, I suspect someone at work does this and frankly, its not pleasant for anyone in the office

That someone probably isn't showering for days or isn't washing clothes enough etc

Yes but don't feel the need to scrub clean before hand ...and also have sex at other times and places than in bed...!

I live in a hot and humid country, it’s not unusual to shower 4 or 5 times through the day and at night. But in the UK, at night, or both if on my period.

How do you fit in 4-5 showers in a day especially with going to work??

Morning. Sometimes in the evening as well depending on how active I've been that day, I have a tendency to sweat a lot so it's necessary.

cherrypieandcoffee · 15/03/2024 07:08

Morning. I don't enjoy baths but love showers and they wake me up so it makes sense to have them in the morning. It would also feel weird to me to put deodorant on just to go bed as to me, deodorant is for day time usage.

That said, just do what works for you. I couldn't give a toss if anyone thinks I am "grim" or {insert insult here}, I know I'm not so I really don't care.

FedUpMumof10YO · 15/03/2024 07:13

Shower morning every day

LlynTegid · 15/03/2024 07:23

Morning. Would feel unpleasant not doing so, and think of others. I have a limited sense of smell so even more important to me.

Catsmere · 15/03/2024 07:27

I sleep alone so don't have any nighttime muck to worry about. Mostly I prefer to shower in the evening, because if I've been out during the day (especially in summer) I'll feel grotty even if I haven't got sweaty.

TodayForTomorrow · 15/03/2024 07:28

Night for me on work days. I like to get into clean PJs and I like a cold bedroom so i'm not sweaty. Hate getting into bed with the dirt of the day on me. On weekends or during a warm summer, I often have a quick shower in the morning too.

Showmethebagels · 15/03/2024 07:29

I have a bath every morning without fail. Might be a shower if away from home and there’s a good shower but my home one isn’t hot enough/powerful enough for my liking although others seem to think it’s ok!

Only exception is if catching a very early flight will have my bath before bed then wash face and dampen/blow dry hair in morning but tbh I then feel wrong all day!

I also sometimes have a bath in the evening for relaxation but less than once a week.
