What stops you showering every day?

[Clackety]

I hate showering!

I find any excuse to avoid showering as soon as I get up. Things like I'm doing housework or gardening and I'll shower later are my usual excuses.

I'm not sure what would make me want to shower first thing, I just like getting on with my day.

I'm not a public health hazard, I do wash - just can't be arsed to shower every day.

I find it wakes me up nicely.
And it's quick and easy.
The only thing that stops me having my morning shower is if I've had a bath the previous evening.

We try to keep our gas and electric bills down, so the cost of heating up the water. Thinking of costs, I'd like to keep a shower to every other day, but I have days when I feel grotty and want one or I give in late afternoon and have one (as I didn't have one that morning). If I don't shower I have a proper wash with a clean flannel.

I hate not showering every day! I don't feel ready to start the day until I've showered. For some reason it really affects my mood! If you force yourself to do it, it will just become habit.

I have very long, thick hair which I only wash twice a week and takes so, so long to dry, straighten, curl etc. The thought of messing it up with water / vapour stops me showering in the morning but I do usually have a bath every night.

I don't have a shower. And standing starkers under her next door's faulty drainpipe with just a soap on a rope to hide my modesty is upsetting the horses.

I love showering.

I find it very refreshing, to come out all nice and clean. I tend to shower in the evening rather than the morning though.

I also tend to do a lot of sport which leaves me literally dripping in sweat, so not showering is not really an option. Just thinking about it makes me shudder....

The children pretty much put paid to me getting a first thing shower, but I either do it after I've taken the older ones to school, or if I've got lots of housework to do, I shower before I go and collect them from school. At weekends sometimes ill shower first thing if we're going out early, otherwise I do it after I've done any house jobs/breakfast cooking etc. Sometimes I skip it on one of the weekend days!

I shower before bed!

Can't be bothered

Nothing! Knowing I am going for a run sometime in the morning might stop me having a shower first thing but only because I knew I'd have one when I got back.

We don't need to shower everyday so why waste the water and electricity. I shower every other day unless I've been playing sport in which case I shower straight afterwards.

Nothing- it only takes a minute, you do it without even thinking.

The fact I haven't got a shower and can't be arsed to run a bath. Shower going in next month and I will use it daily though.

I bathe/shower in the evening so I go to bed clean. I get dirty during the day doing stuff, not at night asleep. More time in the evening too.

Nothing. Takes a couple of minutes max. Wakes me up, couldn't start the day with what feels like a covering of being asleep and sweatiness. I do it without thinking.

My dry skin...Showering everyday is really not kind to my skin some do every other day. Still clean though!

it only takes a minute

Not if you shower properly.

Waste of time, water, shampoo, soap, money, the earths resources and an unnecessary cause of laundry and condensation.

Why on Earth wash yourself if your not dirty!

I like it once I'm in there but I have a really hard time with the transition from dry/clothed to naked/wet.

The fact that other people might find me a bit whiffy??

After lying in bed for 7-8 hours and sweating- yes- you do sweat even if you don't wake up feeling damp- then imo it's pretty essential to shower if you are going to be mingling with other people.

I have a shower in the morning and a bath in the evening.

I love a morning shower to wake me up however I have eczema so sometimes forfeit a shower for the sake of my skin. Usually having one every other day during bad spells and in the winter or if I know i'll be exercising that day (two showers a day would do my skin no favours). I have to add I do wash my underarms etc though on these days. Wouldn't feel clean otherwise. I also have curly dry hair so it does it good not to wash it daily.

Reading all the comments, it's really surprising that some posters think that the point of a shower is to remove dirt. Unless you are doing a mucky manual job then surely you are never going to be dirty- but sweat and secretions on naughty bits are certainly going to be there.

Nothing! I shower every day and jump in the bath most nights after dc. Always been a morning person as soon as I had my dc I get up/shower etc before they get up. I feel vile if I don't. Wakes me up after being up all night with still not sleeping through dc3 . Wouldn't be comfortable going to work wearing dirty clothes so why would I want a dirty body

I love a shower every morning. And washing my hair. I couldn't go out unless I've had one...! I love to smell all freshly showered and clean.

The thought of not showering every morning makes me shudder!

I have to shower regularly as I can smell myself if I don't. Also i'd hate to be caught out DTD if I hadn't washed and was a bit pongwhiffy. not being clean robs me of my confidence with DH during "special time"
