How often do you take a shower/bath?

[user1482949820]

I recently found out that a friend of mine doesn't shower every day. To me that's mental. I take a shower every morning unless it's the weekend and I get up in the afternoon (doesn't happen very often!) only to stay at home and then go back to bed in the evening, in which case I might throw some clothes on after cleaning my face and my teeth. However even that makes me uncomfortable.

But this friend thinks it's so normal not to shower every day that it's made me wonder whether this is more common than I thought.

No judgement here - just really curious!

Every morning. I couldn’t go out if I hadn’t, I’d just feel grubby

Every day here!

Every evening.
Although if I’m being honest with the lockdown and wfh, sometimes I skip a day.

Normally I do a lot of exercise though so a shower is needed every evening.

Every other day. Unless I've done some exercise that makes me sweaty, then I shower straight after the exercise. I get really dry skin if I shower too much.

I'm usually an every other day. Always have been, late thirties, definitely don't smell.

However, that's if I'm just doing my job and normal activities.

If I run or cycle, or indeed in height of summer, that changes to daily. Like now, wfh means I'm exercising almost every day. But my skin and hair are now really dry, so I try and take breaks. Today was a slow walk, so last night's shower will do me until tomorrow post run.

Once a year, I just put on soap and go out in the rain the rest of the time.

Every morning, and twice daily in very hot weather if I've been all sweaty.

Whenever my hot water works enough to run a bath/enough water to get a decent wash in.
No shower here which drives me mad!

Once when I get up and once before I go to bed.

About 2/3 times a week - works for me.

Every hour on the hour.

Every other day.

This again.🙄 I shower every time I touch an object so hundreds of times each day. Anyone who doesn’t is just grim.

Every day. In normal times I swim before work (first thing I want to do out of lockdown is go for a swim) then I shower after that.

Normally every day, sometimes twice if I work out. However I did skip this morning. I haven't been anywhere and I have no one to get up close and personal to .

After my hourly shower I wash the towel. Anything else is just grim.

Every morning.
My arms and legs get really dry but my face and chest are very oily and my hair gets greasy if I don’t wash it every day

Twice a day

Every third day. My skin is exceptionally dry. I only use E45 bath oil in the shower, cool showers stay under the water as little as possible.

I'd love, love love to shower every day. But even showering every third day leaves my skin itchy, despite moisturizing with diprobase cream three times a day.

If its a hot summers day, I might shower twice a day sometimes. If I'm working, or exercise, I shower when I get home.

If I'm having a lazy weekend in, or like now, WFH, I might skip a day.

TBH- I've started to forget when I last washed hair, scrubbed face etc, because everyday is blending into one! I took my hair out of a bun and when hubby said it looked like a nest, I figured its been sometime since I washed it!!!

Only on my birthday.

Every day. But I keep chucking my hair back in a bun and I'm expecting to struggle to get a brush through it when I eventually bother trying.

almost every day.
but shock horror I don't shower after cycling to work. no one does here.

I exercise 4-5x a week, so i definitely have to shower after that. The other days i dont
Except in summer on really hot days, then i have to shower in the evening otherwise i would feel gross going to bed.

Everyday

Twice if it's been hot

Sometimes miss a day if I've been home all day but that's rare
