When I have a shower my head is always facing towards the shower

Now this is whether I am washing my hair or not. When you see a woman on TV or in a film having a shower she is always facing away from the shower. I have just watched something with a man and he was facing the shower. I know this is a first world question but how do you shower?

Yes I face away from the shower

I dont like the water pounding straight into my face

HappyHappyHermit · 24/05/2022 18:32

I always face away from the shower as I don't like too much of the water to go in my face.

Waxonwaxoff0 · 24/05/2022 18:33

Facing away. I don't like water in my face.

Always away, unless I'm waiting for my conditioner to sink in a bit. Then I'll face the shower but won't be under it, just have it on my belly to keep warm.

I turn round like a kebab 😂

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 24/05/2022 18:34

Always face away, DP faces towards

Wherehasthecommonsensegone · 24/05/2022 18:34

I face the shower unless rinsing my back off, then I turn around.

HopingForMyRainbowBaby · 24/05/2022 18:35

Face away from the shower. I like to shower without feeling like I'm drowning every 5 minutes

BerkyWithTheGoodHair · 24/05/2022 18:35

I spin around and am facing either way at various points of my washing cycle 🤷🏽‍♀️

I always face away from the showerhead.

girlmom21 · 24/05/2022 18:37

I face away while I wash my hair then face the shower while I wash my body, I think

blackheartsgirl · 24/05/2022 18:37

I turn around like I’m on a spit but I start off facing the shower. I don’t put my face in the water though

tiredanddangerous · 24/05/2022 18:39

I face the shower. Face away when washing my hair though.

Shehasadiamondinthesky · 24/05/2022 18:40

I'm a kebab too.

Mol1628 · 24/05/2022 18:41

Hahaha I’m also a kebab

dementedpixie · 24/05/2022 18:43

I face away when washing my hair and then side on or facing it when getting washed.

WeeOrcadian · 24/05/2022 18:43

Water running down my face makes me panic (always has, and I hate it) so I almost always turn away from the water, unless I'm rinsing off my frontage

AlmostThereMaybe · 24/05/2022 18:44

I’m a shower facer like you!

speakout · 24/05/2022 18:46

Surely you have to turn around?
Back facing is OK for hair, back and bum, but face and front genitals, under breasts etc need to be done facing the spray surely? I also turn side on when soaping and rinsing my armpits- arms above my head.
I also like to be warm in the shower, I can warm the whole of my body if I keep on the move.

DogsAndGin · 24/05/2022 18:47

BarbaraofSeville · 24/05/2022 18:49

Face away and I always feel like the little shelf to put your shampoos on is in the wrong place.

At home our shower is over the bath and I put my shampoos on the shelf at the other end of the bath.

Every time I stay in a hotel, the shelf is right next to/under the shower and I can't put them there because its behind me, I end up putting them on the floor at the other side of the shower cubicle

Chikapu · 24/05/2022 18:51

A bit of both but I never put my face under the water, it's way too scary.

SucculentSunshine · 24/05/2022 18:52

Face the shower but the head is pointed at my chest and runs down my body.
