What order do you wash in when you shower?

[SausageShop]

A bit like that thing that went around ages ago about whether people sit or stand to wipe, I was musing in the shower this morning about how I unconsciously wash my body in the exact same order every day.

Left thigh, left calf
Right thigh, right calf
Right arm, shoulder, armpit and around right boob
Same on the left
Then stomach
Back
Bits and bum

Neck, feet and anything else get cleaned on the way past.

I had this debate with friends a while back and most of them went from head down or feet up and decided I was clearly a psychopath.

What do you all do??

Wash hair
apply conditioner
wash right arm, right armpit and under right boob and right side of chest and upper body, do the same on the left side
move down to right leg and foot, then over to left leg and foot
finally vag and bum. I absolutely cannot rinse the conditioner off my hair though if I’ve still got shower gel on the upper part of my body. No idea why, I just can’t

Hair with shampoo & then conditioner , arm pits , then arms , torso down to legs and feet with shower gel . Private parts separate as use femfresh .
then I wash conditioner off my hair . Finally my face with a face wash . Takes me 12 minutes on work days , have it down to a fine art 🤣

I start with chest then arms and legs then back. Wash face with facewash then bum and vag

I never wash my calves! I suppose I would if I had ridden my bike through the mud?! A rinse is sufficient.

Hair, no conditioner.
Face, etc
Pits
Undercarriage
I have never washed my calves, shoulders, belly. What is happening to peoples tummy that requires soap and a scrub to fix it?

@Nevertrustacop I'm thinking the same thing! I am now starting to wonder if I am a dirty person for not scrubbing my calves and stomach twice a day.

I do hair, when conditioner is on then face, work way down to toes then bum. Rinse etc
Ive also realised I have a drying routine too

Hair, face, r arm, l arm, body, r leg, l leg, genitals, rinse conditioner from hair.

It sloughs off dead skin cells.

Same except I do face last.

Calves don’t really need to be washed that well I certainly don’t scrub them I just run the shower gel over my legs
they get exfoliated if I shave my legs

hair if washing it
face
pits ‘n’ bits
left arm, right arm
chest and shoulders
stomach and back
left leg and foot
right leg and foot
then pits and bits again

lather hair with shampoo
use the lather & flannel top to bottom. face neck left arm, right arm bust, stomach, back. left leg, right leg, feet, bum

Surely it’s just common sense to do your hair first so the conditioner can sit while you do the rest of you?

Can’t believe all these people who wash their face after their bum.

I’ve just seen how old this thread actually is but have to reply anyway that I feel my order is very similar. I’m definitely going to pay attention tomorrow!

I lean over the bath and shampoo my hair, apply conditioner then clip it up. I get in the shower and wash starting from the top and down to my feet.
Then I get out the shower and rinse my hair.

Shampoo, rinse out, conditioner in, leave in whilst wash face, then arms, back, stomach, legs, arm pits, bits and bum then feet.

I think the more interesting thing is how people wash. I use a face cloth, then exfoliating glove for everything except bits and feet which I use a flannel for. Partner uses just shower gel with flannel all over, which I feel isn't a proper clean as the dead skins not off and the shower gel doesn't lather up properly 🤔

Hair first, then, top to bottom, l have no idea if l do the left or right side first, never thought about it..Will check in the morning.

This gives me the creeps.

I do hair first so conditioner can sit and work for a few minutes while I do the rest. The head to toe. Wash out conditioner. Final rinse of all.

Why don’t you rinse your hair whilst you’re in the shower?

I can't stand water on my face.

I was about to reply to the thread and then I realised it was me who started it 😂
