What's the most amount of showers you've ever had in one day? And how come?

[ButteredRadishes]

For me I think it was five!

1. Shower in the morning getting up.
2. went to the gym. Another shower.
3. Swam after work - so showered there
4. Managed to slip in some mud walking to house... and got my legs and hair covered in mud
5. Went in garden for evening with kids and all that... and a bird pooed on my head and arm 😂

You?

Same here unless it’s really hot weather. It’s competitive cleanliness and quite sinister really when you think about it as it’s rooted in a desire to look down on others. “Oh you only shower X times per week? Oh you slob!” That’s all it is.

None of these people would’ve survived a day in years gone by when your only option was a bath. Can you imagine filling a bath 3 times a day, in times when you only had a certain amount of hot water?! Especially in homes with 3/4 teens! Even today some people live with limited quantities of hot water! In a home with even 1/2 teens and two adults, can you imagine everyone having 2 or 3 showers per day?! Yeah right! It’s pure nonsensical drivel by attention seekers who fail to acknowledge that not everyone lives in situations like theirs. Just ignore it.

Op presumably you change your sheets daily?

does your partner also smell in the morning?

Do you smell yourself or has someone told you that you “hum” in the mornings?

You're supposed to brush before breakfast to brush off the overnight build up before the bacteria from food gets to work on it. Plus there's the issue of having to wait at least 30 minutes after eating before brushing (an hour is you have something very acidic like orange juice) and who has time to wait that long in the morning after breakfast before having to go to work or do the school run or whatever?

I wouldn't want to be unshowered when I'm going somewhere other people will be. It wouldn't be fair to them

If you smell that badly simply after a night's sleep (and after multiple showers the previous day as you say in your OP) then you should see your GP. There may be something medically wrong with you.

Do you smell in the mornings?!

I can't imagine it is ever more than 3 and then only on holiday...shower in the morning because it was so hot in the night. Shower midday to cool off and remove all the sand before lunch. Shower before going our for dinner.

At home it would be twice on exercise days.

There's nothing wrong with me thanks...and there's really nothing wrong with showering in the morning. I can't get over why people think I'm some sort of appalling person because I showered before going out of the house.

You might like going out unshowered and being around people, but I do not.

During the recent heatwaves, probably 6 or 7 - but only to get cool rather than remove grot.

Have you had a shower yet Op?! Are you ponging out the house?!

How bizarre that this is how you have interpreted the comments saying showering before the gym because you smell when you wake up… is not normal

Sometimes I have a quick shower before the gym too, especially in warmer weather or if it’s been more than 12 hours since I’ve had one.

So if I showered today at say 10am then went to the gym tomorrow at 7am I would probably shower before I go.

But if I showered at 10pm tonight, I’d probably just get up and go to the gym tomorrow morning without showering assuming it wasn’t a particularly hot or sweaty night.

Some gyms and various public places actually stink (looking at you train commuters) so I agree more people would benefit from showering before they go to gym or anywhere else.

So you also think you “hum” in the morning? Because that’s the OP’s motivation

Op… presumably my you change your bedding daily?

3 when it’s been really hot, morning afternoon and evening.

I am the exact same, I shower in the morning regardless of gym/cycle. I’d feel wrong without. The morning shower is wakey wakies

Not particularly but I think anyone who hasn’t showers in the morning (unless perhaps they’ve showered the night before and slept in a cool room) will be much less than fresh, especially when they start doing exercise.

You can’t really smell yourself until you get to a certain point, but you can reasonably assume you could do with a quick morning shower.

I sweat far less if I’ve showered immediately before running on a treadmiill.

Unfortunately in the UK a lot of people think they smell absolutely fresh as a daisy and our trains and buses etc stink of these people.

Interestingly I didn’t find this issue as much in various other countries I’ve lived or traveled in.
