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?

Both sides alternately otherwise one side gets cold!

I face outwards mainly but our shower has a monsoon head so the water comes from above your head.

When I found out that DH faced into the shower head I thought he was a psychopath. Why would you want all the water on your face?!

I’m also a kebab/rotisserie chicken.

I face towards the shower mostly, apart from turning to rinse back half, and have never seen anyone face away from it in a film.

I also have a "rain shower head" so I face the shower, as I have access to the controls that way...

I prefer baths but when I shower I actually turn around to face the wall so the shower water is going onto my hair from the back, then I can use that to rinse my hair. I think I turn to face the shower when washing my face, but that's it.

ReachedTheEndofCake · 24/05/2022 19:42

A bit of both, but have to pre oxygenate with a few deep breaths before my face goes anywhere near the spray.

I stand with my back to the shower.

torfa · 24/05/2022 19:52

I face away while washing my hair and soaping. But I turn towards to shave my legs so I can put my foot on the wall

NeverDropYourMooncup · 24/05/2022 19:53

Movie rules - men face the shower so they have water running over their back and their bare arse can be brought into shot if required (as the chances are they're about to be attacked by an assassin and need to fight barearsed and armed only with a bright white towel and .38 pistol, but women face away so that the audience get to see the gratuitous tit shots.

Real life - people who like water over their face look towards it, people who don't face awa

My shower comes from above so I don't know what any of you are on about

Ahbisto · 24/05/2022 19:54

The shower head is in the ceiling so there’s no such thing as facing at it or away but I face away from the wall mainly and for some reason turn and face the wall when rinsing the front of my body off. I guess as I am used to a wall mounted shower.

ThreeLittleDots · 24/05/2022 19:56

Face-on with the shower head lower than my face, unless I'm washing my hair, in which case I raise it above my head and turn my back

Doggydarling · 24/05/2022 19:58

At the moment I almost run around under the shower, the pressure is so bad its the only way I can get wet.

Sunnytwobridges · 24/05/2022 19:58

So strange, I always thought people faced the showers and the movies did it the other way just for visual effect or whatever lol

I always face the shower, the shower head is always pointed away from my face.

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 24/05/2022 20:01

I face it if washing my face. Away for the rest

The ads with women's faces away from the shower usually show the woman with head raised, hair wet and off the face and eyes closed. It's a soft porny shot.

This is how I shower though? Not trying to be porny

TheGlitterati · 24/05/2022 20:04

Away. I don’t like getting my face wet.

A580Hojas · 24/05/2022 20:05

Back to the shower, always. But we have a lovely powerful shower, loads of water sploshing around everywhere.
