In the morning because I sweat overnight

Funkyslippers · 23/08/2022 20:36

After a workout, whatever time of day that is (usually morning)

Notplayingball · 23/08/2022 20:37

Evening shower. Wash the day's cares away.

I apply deodorant afterwards as it's apparently meant to work better at night.

wibblewobbleball · 23/08/2022 20:39

Morning.

FlissyPaps · 23/08/2022 20:39

In the evening. About 8/9pm.

If I’ve worn fake tan overnight I’ll shower in the morning, weekdays before work about 7am. Or about 10/11am on weekends.

Morning. It wakes me up and I feel refreshed for the day.

If I have a bath (about 4 times a year) it is usually evening ready to wind down for bed.

megletthesecond · 23/08/2022 20:41

Evening. Just heading there now and going to bed.

takealettermsjones · 23/08/2022 20:41

6am work days. Weekends, whenever I get a spare few minutes!

wonderingwhatsnext · 23/08/2022 20:42

Morning.

But I'm intrigued about the idea that deodorant works better at night. How does it know what time it is?

JaninaDuszejko · 23/08/2022 20:43

I swim every morning and shower after that.

TokidokiBarbie · 23/08/2022 20:44

Used to shower both when I worked in office. Need to go to bed clean but also hate putting on a crisp new shirt without showing first.

Only shower before bed now and basin wash in morn if necessary. It's kind of pointless before work as I'm splashed with dust/mud/water etc within the first hour.

PissedOffNeighbour22 · 23/08/2022 20:44

Evening so I feel clean ready for bed. I'd have no chance getting my hair dry in a morning before work.

Usually get in shower between 10:30 and 11pm.

Bonjovispjs · 23/08/2022 20:45

Evening, around 8-9, if I was to shower in the morning, that would mean getting up even earlier and I already get up at 6.30am😴

luxxlisbon · 23/08/2022 20:45

Always in the evening during the week.

Riverlee · 23/08/2022 20:46

Usually evening.

Pinkandpurplehairedlady · 23/08/2022 20:46

I shower in the morning as I sweat a lot at night so prefer to wash that off and feel fresh for the day. If I’ve been doing something particularly sweaty or mucky during the day I’d probably have a quick shower in the evening as well.

BeyondMyWits · 23/08/2022 20:47

Morning for me, menopausal night sweats...

DaisyChain16 · 23/08/2022 20:47

Always morning. Sometimes evening as well but would always shower again in the morning. I wouldn't feel fresh for the day otherwise.

Singinghollybob · 23/08/2022 20:48

If I've been working I'll have one when I get home from work in the evening. I'll always have one each morning too.

yonce · 23/08/2022 20:50

Both! Morning to wake me up and prep me for the day, evening to be clean before bed and do pamper routines.

Izzycat28 · 23/08/2022 20:51

I have a quick morning one and a quick evening one, I assumed that’s what everybody did! Shock

itsthesoundofthepolice · 23/08/2022 20:51

Always the morning to wake me up. If I do shower at night I'd still have another when I got up.

Carrieonmywaywardsun · 23/08/2022 20:52

Usually around 9pm. After DD goes to bed. Nice cool shower before sleep

Washing with a flannel in the morn is more than good enough if you're not a sweaty person. Although I wouldn't have agreed ten years ago.

WishDragon · 23/08/2022 20:53

Morning, always. I couldn’t imagine going to work without a shower.
