To think one bath/shower a day is perfectly adequate in the UK?

[AfraidOfMyShadow]

I can even understand twice a day especially when it is hot or after exercising.
I did think DH was a bit odd for bathing at least two times a day without fail (even in winter) but DSS showers three times a day! I think it's insanity.

So a personal question to you all - how often do you bathe/shower and AIBU?

Once in the morning and a bedtime wash.

Twice if I'm going out on an evening and getting spruced up.

However, during the hot weather a couple of weeks back, I was averaging 4-5 (cool) showers a day.

Every hour on the hour.

Same here. Anything less is just grim.

Ahickiefromkinickie interesting point about hard/soft water.

And to those saying Every hour on the hour please don't give DSS any ideas!

Never shower - I don't have one. I also have a shitty boiler so running a bath is a right performance involving setting the timer and going back in five minutes, just for a shallow bath. So, twice a week. Ish. But lots of people who shower every day just seem to dribble the water all over themselves and dab a bit of bodywash on, judging by the smell.

Always in the morning before work, and wash hair then too, possibly a second shower (but no hair wash) after work if I feel sweaty, or have my period. On a Friday evening I usually have a bath, but that's a long soak with a book rather than a means of getting clean.

Every hour on the hour 😁
And a top up shower in between

Either a bath at night or a shower in the morning, sometimes I will shower in the morning and have another later if I've been wearing sun cream or feeling sweaty.

Every morning without fail and then in the evening if I'm going out or have done exercise

Twice a day every day.

HeirHelp he is way too young for that.

I have a shower at night and a wash at the sink in the morning. Except for when it gets really hot and I'll have a full wash in the shower morning and night and one or two very quick cool spray=downs in between.

insancerre that is just cruel.

I'm very fussy about being clean and tidy so have a shower every morning and often one in the evening if I've been out and about or doing something that's made me warm and I thought I was having lots of showers but obviously not comparing to some people on here
But I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who showers daily

I am going to go with he is peaking at puberty ....and mis haps.

Usually once a day, but sometimes an extra evening shower when I fancy one.

He is not to young infact 12 is a pretty common time.

Once a , twice if I'm going out in the evening

Two to three times a week is enough, unless it is very hot. One can also wash the body parts that are in, ahem, extreme need of washing separately.

I used to think that showering once day was extreme. I see the logic of people who want to shower in the mornings and then get clean before bed, too, but THREE showers a day?

Considering that I assume they also use soap and body wash and so on, that cannot be good for the skin.
Would understand if a very unfortunately stinky teen boy did that, but unless you have body odour problems that's really over the top. (And if you do have such problems that you have to shower three times a day, then you should go see a doctor.)

If you shower every hour, unless you live in a very hot country or have body odour issues, I am afraid you should see a psychologist.

Every hour on the hour.

'Same here. Anything less is just grim.'

Seriously?

I LOVE competitive cleanliness threads. DM spirit at its finest.

How do you actually find the time?

Serious question. I'm happy if I get to shower once a day, there never seems enough hours in the day.

Three times?! Do they change their clothes each time? Jesus.

Seriously?

I hope not, otherwise that would be a sign of an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I live in a very hot climate and I've had 4 today. One when I woke up. One at the gym a few hours later. One when I got home about 4 hours later after day out doing chores. I was wet through to my undies when I got home. I then had another before bed. In cooler weather it would be 2 a day, 3 on a gym day. And 2 a day if Im in the UK. My skin is lovely.

I would say the majority shower - or bathe - every day. Same goes for hair washing.

And you must have constantly wet towels. All the time. Unless you own a bajillion towels.

Lunacy!
