Shower - AM or PM ?

Just posting for traffic.

When do you prefer to shower? In the morning or in the evening? And around what time do you shower?

YABU - Morning when I wake up
YANBU - Evening before I go to bed

Wrote out a huge post but what’s the point- evening. Curly hair. Kids. Not a natural ‘stinker’ as my husband call them (he’s a religious morning showerer…yet somehow I do not repulse him?!)

I am struggling to imagine what possible context there can be, that you need to know urgently about strangers' personal hygiene. Any chance you might share why this is such a pressing question for you?

Morning but due to one bathroom and teen girls it's often easier time wise to do it in the evening!

DH always has his shower in the evening as he runs and cycles a lot so if he had a morning one he would have to have another in the evening

Morning and evening. Sometimes a bath in the evening

Morning, I like to smell fresh. I’d feel dirty all day otherwise.

Depends what time my exercise class is and whether I’m wfh or in the office.

Other way round for me, I look like something about Mary if I wash it at night!

Morning as I wash my hair every day and generally feel sweaty from a night’s sleep. Although if I showered at night I probably wouldn’t feel like that! But I’d still need to wash my hair anyway.

We are all evening shower people in my house. Can't imagine being out at work, socialising, exercising all day then getting into bed without washing. Makes me feel ill thinking about it.

One shower, start in the morning and it usually takes until early evening to remove all the ingrained dirt as I only shower on the last Sunday of the month.

It's ecologically sound as it saves water and I don't use soap but gravel.

Depends on what time I am starting work next day.

If I have to get up between 4 and 6, shower at night. If later, shower in morning.

Always just before bed - and in the morning too before work if I've been to the gym.

Both. I have a cold shower in the morning after my workout as it makes me feel good and awake but I prefer to shower in the evening to wash my hair as I shower DS at the same time.

Evening if I’m working the next day or have an early start, morning at the weekend.

Morning after my workout, but in summer I also shower in the evening.

If working I shower at night as up too early. If off usually both. DH showers morning and night every day.

Morning and after working out. Unless you do a really sweaty/dirty job, or it’s hot weather, it’s not really necessary to shower before bed. As a pp says it wakes you up. Better to have a bath if you feel dirty.

Evening is much more practical for me. If I've nowhere to be in a hurry though, I like to shower in the mornings. Sometimes I do both.

Morning. Wakes me up, makes sure I'm fresh for the day.

AM and PM - like to feel fresh in the morning and when I get into bed,

Always someone being judgmental. I'm sure people are thinking you are disgusting that you drag all your daily grime into bed with you and mash your face into a pillow covered in pollution. But they are probably just more polite than you so keep it to themselves.

And people will think you are grim for going to bed with pollution and daily grime on you. Rubbing your face on a pillow covered in grime. How disgusting. Truth is we survive both. One is not better than the other. Washing once a day is fine for most people regardless of when.

Yes!

Okay I am coming back for some more, can the morning showerers please stop being mean to the evening showers! Just because you are a nasty sweaty bag of BO and bedhead first thing in the morning doesn't mean we all are. That's why you shower in the morning and us at night. 😁
