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 prefer to shower in the morning but my DD is up so early that I don’t get the time. So it’s a nighttime shower here usually.

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

Both here! Morning is a lightning quick shower just do wake me up and then evening is a proper one. Or a bath instead.

I prefer morning as I don't like sleeping with damp hair (its quite long and curly and holds water for ages).

So I have a separate hair shower. I have really thick hair, I quite often do have an afternoon hair shower

Both most days but in the morning everyday.

Morning. I feel gross otherwise. ESPECIALLY during my period as I don’t wear tampons overnight.

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.

Not require but it's a lovely feeling 😊🫠

Always in the morning. Sets me up for the day. Cannot understand the comments about being grimy in the evenings unless you have been exercising,very physical job etc

What is a hair shower?

Morning. As I work in close proximity to other people, and hope they would show me the same courtesy.

StBernie · 15/03/2024 20:38

People get so worked up on these threads when someone does the opposite to them, what’s with the childish insults? 😂

If you shower daily, morning or evening is fine. If you sweat badly at night then sure, be a morning shower person. Plenty of people don’t sweat badly at night, so an evening shower for them is no issue.

I personally don’t know anyone that smells and some are morning washers, some are evening washers.

Always morning. I'd feel bleurgh not having a morning shower.

I'll have an evening shower if I've had a particularly strenuous day, but the morning shower is non-negotiable. The thought of just carrying on with your day without having a morning shower seems disgusting.

Agree. People do notice.

stripes92 · 15/03/2024 21:23

Morning. I get very hot when I sleep so would always shower as soon as I get up. I would also shower in the evening if I'd been exercising, wearing suncream, at the beach etc.

bellaroo92 · 15/03/2024 21:32

Don't understand people who say, has to be morning, I work close to people and hope people would do the same!!
Why?? What do you do in the night that makes you smell that bad when you wake up. Cant you shower at night and wash in the morning, use deodorant, surely your not that bad at smelling

Exactly. That's what morning showerers say. How can you go about your day smelling after being unclean all night?

No. I shower and put on deodorant at night. If I've had sex, I have another very quick 2 min shower. I don't sweat at night and my bedsheets are clean as they are changed regularly and we both shower at night before bed. If it's the summer I'll have a quick freshen up shower in the morning too.

Couldn't stand crawling into bed at night with the days filth and sweat on me and festering in it all night. Then having sex and waiting until morning to wash it all off. Nasty.

Grim

It's not grim every other day is fine

mydrivingisterrible · 16/03/2024 01:03

It's because you sweat in your sleep and sweat contains urine. Not judging, just explaining

Manyandyoucanwalkover · 16/03/2024 01:08

Usually evenings, as I like getting into bed clean.

CuriousJBJ · 16/03/2024 01:11

It varies. When I used to work outside the home, I showered in the morning. Now I work from home, if I’m washing my hair, I do it late afternoon/evening as I like to let it dry naturally and plait it if still damp. If I’ve got an aqua class booked, I shower after that, rest of the time it varies depending on what time I’m starting work.
