Is this a reasonable shower length? One working bathroom, but could husband says I could knock on door if toilet is needed.

YANBU - this is too long

Haha I suspected someone would pull me up over teeth brushing.

I just prefer brushing them in the shower with warm water to rinse. The mint burns my mouth if I rinse with cold water. I'll use hot water if I'm at the tap, but I prefer to get all my ablutions done in the shower.

I shall be telling my ds to brush his teeth in the shower, genius, no gunk all over the sink to clean 😊

You aren't supposed to rinse the toothpaste out of your mouth.

That sounds horrid!

The fluoride is supposed to stay in your mouth, not be rinsed away immediately after brushing...

There are some seriously high maintenance people on Mumsnet. Exfoliating, hair mask, face mask every day?????

Dh spends a bit of time in the bathroom, especially on shaving day. Nothing wrong with that, i'd rather have a clean man

I like a long shower, I don’t shower every day so I feel like it evens out over the week 🤷‍♀️

I am in the shower for about 15 minutes each morning. That is a quick-ish hair wash, a lather all over with shower gel and a good rinse off. DH is similar.

I then spend about another 10 minutes towelling off, getting dressed in there and brushing my hair through.

30 minutes with the water running is too long and wasteful.

He needs to find some other way of having penis time, OP

Not every day, just on rotation. I have fantastic skin for my age and I intend to keep it that way. Part genetics I'm sure but I'm not taking it for granted. And yes, this was way more than a humble brag.
