AIBU to shower twice a day

[Bearpawk]

Just chatted to a friend and she was quite astonished that I often shower 2x per day in summer.
She said she only showers every second day at the most since lockdown. Each to their own.
My reasoning:
I exercise in the morning a few days a week and get very sweaty - showering after that is a non negotiable. That's usually when I wash and dry my hair as it gets pretty wet with sweat.
Usually have a bowel movement in the mornings and don't feel clean with just paper (sorry tmi not a poo troll) so tend to shower most mornings regardless of exercise.
I walk to work every day and get a bit of a sweat on up the hill, my office has no ac so even though I wear natural fabrics, by the time I get home I can feel a bit 'clammy'.

I HATE getting in to bed dirty so I'll usually have a quick shower before getting into my pj's and settling down tor the night.
Showers are usually very quick - a rinse with a rub of the pits and bits. and I use natural soaps etc. so not too harsh on my skin.
Am I bonkers ?

I shower twice a day too. The morning one is the 'full' shower and the evening one is very quick. I like to feel fresh before getting into bed.

I shower and wash my hair every morning. I shower at night if the weather has been really warm.

Astonished? Does she not get out much.

I think twice a day is normal and am in and out of the shower in minutes except for when I wash my hair.

But each to their own.

I shower 15 times a day.

Who actually cares about another persons showering habits every day?

Normal???

NFMN

Not this thread again… Soon somebody will come along to say that anyone not showering on the hour every hour is a smelly pig, as per usual.

🤣

I only shower when there's a full moon.

You dirty lot. Only showering twice a day. I have three because I often feel a bit warm after eating my lunch.

Shower as often as you like. But that doesn't mean that other people who shower less often are dirty. For many people every other day is plenty.

@Bjorkdidit I never said that people who shower every other day are dirty. I said each to their own.
I personally would feel dirty so that makes me wonder if I'm sweatier than the average person.

my 18 year old son showers twice a day as he sweats buckets

I am actually in the shower as I type this. The rest of you are dirty dirtbirds.

No wonder we get water shortages. Once a day and only twice if you have exercised. Three times a day is a bit much.

@TizerorFizz I spend 10-20 seconds in there

I've never showered

@Bearpawk
then it's a bit bloody pointless isn't it.

I often shower twice a day. Sometimes just the once & sometimes 3 times. I shower when I feel I want/need to. 🤷🏻‍♀️

not asking for your friends approval.

There's not much hope for the planet is there?

I shower twice a day. I am definitely not fresh after a full day, nobody is - And I like to go to bed fresh! In the morning, I’ve been in the covers all night and again, not fresh. That doesn’t mean I’m saying I’d smell. I don’t. But I like that ‘fresh’ feeling

😴

I have a bath once a week.

I have a thorough wash every morning in the shower, proper lathered up scrubbing, good face wash etc.

Then every evening once I have done any housework, made tea etc I have a quick shower, literally in and out within a minute to freshen up before bed.

I feel grubby by the end of the day. I am a SEN TA and midday supervisor. I have young kids in my personal space, touching me and my hair, food on me and also do a lot of sensory play. I'm happy and comfortable to go with it and get messy and dirty, but I need a good wash at the end of the day before I can relax.

Not everyone feels like they need it, or doesn't want to, and that's fine, but I can't get into bed at night until I've been cleansed of the day
