My DP showers everyday, I aim to shower/bath everyday but being a pregnant, working mum of two I skip the odd day through bloody exhaustion..
I was inspired by another thread about how often people wash there hair and it got me thinking..
So how often do u wash?..

Once a year whether I need it or not(change the sheets at the same time).Obviously I have a fully shaved body so I'm hygienic.Hair when it looks like it needs it ..Wash hands a lot though.

Usually twice a day for a shower.

Steelesauce · 03/12/2018 15:13

Every night, if I miss it for some reason then I shower in the morning. Hair washed once a week, its thick, long and curly so doesn't get greasy.

Fooferella · 03/12/2018 15:13

I used to avoid showering too much because our shower was so rubbish that it would take ages to get all the shampoo and conditioner out of my hair (long, thick, curly) but we recently got a new one so now it's most days except for weekends when the whole family goes a bit feral.

I love these threads. Not long now until it polarises into the "you minging disgust-o-bum" against the "you're ruining the planet by using too much water' brigades.

Every day

katekat383 · 03/12/2018 15:16

Every day.

stressedbeyond123 · 03/12/2018 15:18

Marniemcc · 03/12/2018 15:21

Well said how can you not bath or shower your children that’s pretty yuck 🤢

Bigonesmallone3 · 03/12/2018 15:22

People saying that old chestnut or these threads don't end well, Iv been on Mumsnet a month or so now, haven't seen one before and was a genuine question.. 🤷‍♀️ I don't see why it would turn into WW3 and I hope it doesn't.. I guess there's always a negative nelly around..

Grimbles · 03/12/2018 15:29

Most days. Might skip a day here or there depending what I'm going to be doing though.

MakeAHouseAHome · 03/12/2018 15:32

Everyday. Genuonely cannot fathom people who don't wash everyday...

KlutzyDraconequus · 03/12/2018 15:33

When i feel dirty.

If I've been gardening or doing housework etc then I'll have a shower that night.
If I've sat watching TV and scratching my balls all day I'll likely not bother.

mostdays · 03/12/2018 15:33

Shower or bath daily, wash hair every other day.
DH has a shower or bath every day.
Ds1 aged 12, used to wash daily, has recently avoided washing at all and on Sunday had his first shower in 8 days (he stank).
Ds2 aged 9, washes under sufferance only.
Ds3 aged 4, bath every 3 days or so.

Qasd · 03/12/2018 15:35

Once a day

Klobuchar · 03/12/2018 15:36

Shower every morning with hair wash. Wouldn’t feel clean if I didn’t. Certainly it’s up to the individual though. I wish I didn’t have to wash my hair every day but you should see the state of it if I don’t.

OJSquash · 03/12/2018 15:39

Bath every evening before bed. Helps me relax.
Sometimes if I've been feeling a bit shit/poorly/busy I'll skip the bath that night and then shower in the morning instead but will then still have a bath later that night.

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 03/12/2018 15:41

Once or twice a day

Flatwhite32 · 03/12/2018 15:42

Every day! I feel dirty otherwise. It also wakes me up in the morning. Even when DD (now 4 and a bit months) was newborn, I'd always find a few minutes to shower as I couldn't bear not showering, particularly as she was born in this summer's heatwave!

costacoffeecup · 03/12/2018 15:43

Every day, sometimes twice!

I don't know how you can bear to go a day without when pregnant, I'm much more sweaty and sticky than usual.

JellyBears · 03/12/2018 15:46

In the summer once sometimes twice a day. In the winter every other day.

Bigonesmallone3 · 03/12/2018 15:54

@costacoffeecup
I'm much colder than normal tbh this pregnancy.. if that wasn't the case then obvs I would shower Confused

Shower every morning and hair wash when I’m mentally prepared for it (usually twice a week). I do skip the odd shower in the winter when it’s too cold and I’d rather stay in the bed - shower morning and evening on really hot, sticky days

snop · 03/12/2018 16:12

Every morning sink wash and each night a bath. And wash my hair every other day
Dd is also bathed every night

loudhouse18 · 03/12/2018 16:14

Normally every morning I shower :-) However, sometimes I will shower in the evening to avoid showering in the morning
