To shower backwards. Whichever way do you?

Plumber sorting shower today. DF said put it on this wall, later said you face window when showering. I said well I'll face sink but shower will be on window wall. Long story short. DF faces the shower and was incredulous that I don't. I have my back to shower when I'm washing my hair and body and only turn round to wash suds off. He said he can't believe anyone would do this.
Have I been doing it wrong all my life? How do you shower?

You are right - he is wrong. HTH.

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 07/07/2017 16:50

Oh, backwards!

But I have thick hair so I take the shower nozzle off the holder thing and use it to rinse.

ReinettePompadour · 07/07/2017 16:50

I have my back to the shower too. Its easier to wash your hair that way.

Spurtle · 07/07/2017 16:51

Back to the shower.

HeyMicky · 07/07/2017 16:51

Backward here too. But maybe it's a height thing? DH faces the shower but is tall enough to avoid the water; I would get a face full of spray (fixed shower head)

JennyOnAPlate · 07/07/2017 16:53

I wash my hair with my back to the shower, but my body facing towards it.

Dawnedlightly · 07/07/2017 16:55

It's a laydee thing.

insancerre · 07/07/2017 16:55

Back to shower
It's easier to wash hair and the water feels good on shoulders
Maybe it's a man thing?
As they don't have boobs

Jenny are you an owl Grin
I think you are right too op

DaisysStew · 07/07/2017 16:56

Facing the shower. I turn around to rinse my hair but lathering up, washing body etc I'm always facing frontwards.

DailyMailReadersAreThick · 07/07/2017 16:56

Both. I face the shower for wetting (so to speak) and washing, and I face backwards to wet and rinse my hair.

mumeeee · 07/07/2017 16:57

I shower the same way as you OP
Never thought of having my back to the shower.

ChesterFuckingDraws · 07/07/2017 16:57

I twirl round and round I think Grin

Start off facing the shower, turn round so all wet, lather up, turn round to rinse, lather up hair, turn round to rinse, it's s miracle I've not done myself and injury as I'm very very clumsy!

MyOtherNameIsTaken · 07/07/2017 16:57

Back to shower and turn to rinse suds.

Seren85 · 07/07/2017 16:58

Back to the shower other than to rinse off face scrub or body wash. DH is a odd, he sort of stands side on and turns 180 mid shower to wash the other side!

GreenHillsOfHome · 07/07/2017 16:58

Back to shower otherwise it's not on your hair.

DH showers facing it though which hasn't really registered with me until now...is it a man/woman divide?

NotAPuffin · 07/07/2017 16:59

I do Riverdance in mine.

AllTheWittyNamesAreGone · 07/07/2017 16:59

Im a twirler too.

winterinmadeira · 07/07/2017 16:59

Defo back to the shower. I agree with you

hazeydays14 · 07/07/2017 17:00

Back to the shower. Agree maybe because it's easier for long hair but also I'm a weirdo who doesn't like hot water on my face, but only likes hot showers Grin

museumum · 07/07/2017 17:00

Back to shower or I'd get water boarded (am short)

cushioncovers · 07/07/2017 17:00

Back to the shower only turn around to rinse soap off but at 5'2 I'd get a face full of water if I faced the shower.
