To ask for ways to make taking a shower more fun?

[AnaViaSalamanca]

So my shower is around 15min, bloody boring, shampoo, conditioner, scrub etc etc, and I don't like taking a shower at all, but have to do it every day, obviously. It is especially difficult after gym, when I am tired.

Does anyone do anything to make the shower time more entertaining? Something to look forward to rather than a stupid chore?

Masturbation.

Have a bonk?

Don't know what else to suggest really. I wasn't aware showers were supposed to be entertaining tbh

15 minutes? I have really long hair that needs conditioning and can shower in 5.

15 minutes?! What do you do in there?

Weird AIBU.

Shower radio?

Listen to an audiobook

Invite someone to join you?

Have a shorter shower

What are you doing in a shower that takes so long that you have time to get bored?

Wireless speaker - crank up the tunes.

You could get a wireless shower speaker and listen to music or podcasts?

I like to pass shower time thinking about my fantasy life as a 90s rock star and cultural icon. I often give interviews while drying my hair.

Don’t use a scrub - go green and use a scrunchy or similar - - you can be in and out in 5

Honestly, I am not sure, I probably have to make it faster you are right. I just kind of stand under the hot water for a while. But then shampoo, condition, shave, face wash, face scrub, body scrub, body wash. I can now see not many people do this.

Sorry I am probably sounding weird...

Thanks for the speaker, that is a brilliant idea!

Scrub & wash? That's wasteful. Get a scrubby Japanese cloth & use gel/wash & get out of there quicker!

It’s ok, you don’t sound weird. But it’s the sort of question to ask yourself rather than us- as surely you can work it out?
Or be radical and have a bath instead - I hate showers. In a bath you can soak in a lovely bath oil or aromatherapy, read a book AND drink wine. Far better.

First poster had it really.

Next!

Turn the shower head to a higher pressure when rinsing your bits.

Then you’ll really look forward to your shower!

I do:
Under the water for a few seconds
Shampoo
Shave pits
Rinse rest of shampoo
Conditioner
Wash body (soap and puff)
Rinse conditioner
Out
5 minutes max. Can easily do it in 3
My shower is quite powerful though

Take a book in with you. Or your phone.
Smear the shower tray with cooking oil.
Shart yourself.
Use Nair instead of conditioner.

Any/all of these things will give you something real to worry about shower-wise.

Washing and scrubbing your face in the shower is a horrendous waste of water.

Don’t shave daily? Don’t exfoliate daily?

You could reorder to speed up as well: water, shampoo, face scrub while shampoo sits for a few seconds, wash both off, conditioner on, all other parts washed, conditioner off, get out shower. That way all the time consuming sitting conditioning parts happen while you do something else.

(I mean I also just stand and think but I find thinking quite interesting, or if not interesting useful - to plan dinner or what I need from the shops or think what admin needs doing.)

1. I shave once a week on swimming day.

1. I use soap because it is cleaner. Takes 30 seconds, if that. Lather up, wash off.

1. No body scrub, drying with a towel is exfoliating enough.

1. I don't leave conditioner on for any length of time. Conditioner on, conditioner out.

It is a mundane task, but doesn't take long. Sing something. Listen to something. Finish with cold water. Conjugate French verbs. Imagine what you'd do with a big lottery win. And as pp have mentioned: wankorama!
