I always shower in the evening. I am a crap sleeper and would rather have the extra time in bed in the morning. If it's hotand I've got a bit sweaty in bed I'll have a quick wash but that's it.

Both. I couldn't get up and just get dressed feeling sticky from bed. And I like a bath before bed to relax.

broccolienthusiast · 29/03/2024 13:05

Both! I exercise a lot

suburburban · 29/03/2024 13:08

Mostly morning but sometimes at night or get in bath after dh

I was actually wanting to change to both but I didn't know if that was excessive/bad for skin?
I feel so much better after showering in the morning at the minute!

I just feel like I'm so conscious of my hygiene not being brilliant at the moment after being in a bit of a rut.

Morning. Can't bear going to work without a proper shower. I work with food so want to be fresh and clean. I think it's horrible going without, from a sweaty bed!

Hoglet70 · 29/03/2024 13:09

Night time. I like going to bed clean. In the summer I might have a shower in the morning too but not at this time of year.

MrsElijahMikaelson1 · 29/03/2024 13:10

Both. Can’t go to bed feeling riffy and can’t start the day sweaty

WimpoleHat · 29/03/2024 13:10

Both. But one is always a very quick one as I know it’s a bit excessive!

Illbefinejustbloodyfine · 29/03/2024 13:11

My house doesn't have a shower so I have a bath at night, wash in the morning.

thedendrochronologist · 29/03/2024 13:11

Both but try and do only one shower per day as my hair and skin dry out

Most of my life I'm a morning showerer.
Because very greasy hair that looks best straight from shower

But started swimming and swim most evenings and get showers at the pool

It's nice to wake up and just go esp when at work

It's so hard to switch from you preferred slot

thedendrochronologist · 29/03/2024 13:11

I try to both as along and hair so dry (greasy roots)

Try to avoid both

Poyil · 29/03/2024 13:12

Morning bath for me, sometimes in the evening too if I’ve exercised or got sweaty.

PivotPivotmakingmargaritas · 29/03/2024 13:15

I’m an after work and nighttime showerer I feel all sweaty and gross after work ( not strenuous but I’m in West Australia so always hot) and a nighttime to relax

HideTheCroissants · 29/03/2024 13:16

I’m a morning showerer because I wash my hair every morning. If I don’t wash it it looks very odd… sleeping gives me a sort of bald patch that I can’t get my hair to lay down over unless I wash and style it. Then when I exercise after work I have another shower (without the hair wash).

DSD9472 · 29/03/2024 13:19

Morning OR evening. I'd only have 2 showers a day if it was really very hot, or I'd been doing strenuous work in the garden.
I don't have a set routine, but tend to wash hair in the morning, otherwise its wet all night and goes frizzy if I use a hair dryer.

Theoldwoman · 29/03/2024 13:19

Both, but I live in a very hot and humid part of the world.

If I was only able to shower once a day, it would definitely be at night.

Laiste · 29/03/2024 13:27

I have no routine and i wish i did!

I'm all over the place - morning/evening/mid day, sigh.

Blackcats7 · 29/03/2024 13:32

Had horses for many years so always showered after a day at the yard so I was clean at home and for bed. The horses never made any comments about lack of personal freshness in the mornings.
These days I am too disabled to shower and no longer have my horses so that’s why I wrote in the past tense. Have to make do with washes now. l would love a long hot shower or a bath anytime of day.

NC03 · 29/03/2024 14:13

Night because I exercise after work

uncomfortablydumb53 · 30/03/2024 00:47

Night to relax my muscles before I ( try to) sleep

tuvamoodyson · 30/03/2024 06:03

Both.

WaltzingWaters · 30/03/2024 06:09

Evening (well, once getting in from whatever I’ve done that day then changing straight into my comfy clothes). I like feeling clean in the evenings but then I’ve always had quite physical jobs, maybe it would be different if doing office work.

only have a morning shower if I’ve done a morning workout (which would usually be as well as an evening shower, but does depend on what I’ve done).

AhBiscuits · 30/03/2024 06:16

Always morning.
Shower the sleep off you and clean clothes. I'd feel grubby otherwise.
