Am so you feel fresh for the day

A morning shower helps me wake up and feel good about myself. Getting ready in the morning isnt the same without a shower.

JackieWeaverIsTheAuthority · 17/02/2021 00:16

Mix it up. Some days do it in the AM and some days do it on the PM. You don’t have to stick to whatever you decide. You can change it to what you prefer on any given day.

I tend to have an evening bath or shower and wash my hair. If need one in the morning I do quick wash and out.

UnwantedOpinionBelow · 17/02/2021 00:18

100% am for me. The thought of going to work or out without a morning clean makes me feel gross.

Cowgran · 17/02/2021 00:18

If I absolutely had to only choose one, I would go for pm because I hate hopping into bed feeling dirty or sweaty for the day.

I really do feel like I need a morning shower too though if I'm going to work, especially given I have a breastfeeding baby (so leaky boobs and the occasional nighttime spew). I have dermatitis and water is precious in Australia so I keep my showers super short and only do my hair once a week. I wax so no shaving in the shower either.

CherryBlossomTree7 · 17/02/2021 00:19

I shower morning and night. Very occasionally bath at night instead of night shower.

If I had to choose morning or night, I would have to choose morning. I couldn't start the day without a shower. It's so important to me to be fresh and clean ready for the day.

Morning

Otherwise DH thinks he’s in luck!

WhatToDo82 · 17/02/2021 00:23

I like a weekday AM shower, to wake me up for a busy day of work / home schooling and virtual meetings etc, and I tend to be a bit more relaxed at weekends and do the evening bath / shower as it’s more therapeutic and I like getting feeling all fresh and cosy before bed like you said. Team that up with fresh bedsheets at the weekend and you’re on to a winner!

ZenNudist · 17/02/2021 00:23

Very much a pm shower for me. Dh can't get going without one in the morning. I hate morning showers but they do wake you up.

Haven't voted. Which is which for YABU yanbu?

Norwaydidnthappen · 17/02/2021 00:23

DH is a morning washer and I’m an evening one. It’s just the way I’ve always done it, I think it’s mostly because I’m really lazy so stay in bed as long as I can and get dressed as quickly as I can Grin. I also don’t sweat much in my sleep or anything so still feel fresh in the morning whereas I feel gross in the evening.

Here it's morning for adults, evening for tween & teen.

Wiredforsound · 17/02/2021 00:27

AM definitely. I do a 6am workout then jump on the shower. I’d be really smelly otherwise.

Whatnow100 · 17/02/2021 00:36

I find the small habits of us humans fasinating. Like onw of my friends bathes at teatime each day whilst dh cooks.. all these little choices in life . !

I always shower in the evening. I’m a complete insomniac and, once I’m asleep, I’m not getting out bed any earlier than I have to!

EBearhug · 17/02/2021 00:51

Morning shower, evening bath. Usually just the bath, then shower after gym or swimming (when that's allowed.) I like to wash the day away before bed.

DramaAlpaca · 17/02/2021 00:53

Every day, first thing in the morning.

Hont1986 · 17/02/2021 00:55

Morning, definitely.

People who go to work without showering that morning are mucky!

FraughtwithGin · 17/02/2021 01:00

These days shower in the morning, often a swim in the evening.
Only have a bath if I really need to warm up at night.

peak2021 · 17/02/2021 06:59

Morning. Just get up earlier.

NotWithMyShoes · 17/02/2021 07:08

Shower in the morning. Although since corona, I’ve been going to the shop unwashed and showering after I get back! In pollen season also a quick shower when I get in for the day.
