It's shower time baby!

[Torisakia]

I never leave the shower. I'm in it 24/7/365. My water bill is probably a bit high but if I never leave the shower to see it then I won't actually know.

[Eranaia]

I used to prefer showering in the morning, but since Covid I've changed to showering when I get home from work. Probably makes no actual difference but it makes me feel a bit better. I go running a couple of times and week and absolutely need to shower when I get back.

While very nice and enjoyable, it doesn't save water, or I have been doing it wrong...
Showering with friends means soaping eachothers bodies and chatting. With my so it tends to lead to special effects as to afterwards we need to soap up again...
Thus whenever I shower with others, it always takes longer. And cost more water.

I couldn't imagine doing that, being naked in the presence of someone else is something I'm not remotely comfortable with.

I’m not really either, but once someone whips out their naughty bits and starts going for yours (in an enthusiastically consensual environment) you kind of forget yourself. But I’ll cop to having been in a decade long intimate relationship where I’d still move to another room to change pants. But you never really know until you get there, because I’ve skipped out on naked fun ‘cause I didn’t want to be naked with a person. Only do what you’re comfortable with, just don’t let a preset assumption become a defining factor. Always evaluate.

My COVID showering habits would horrify you all.

[The Free Joy State]

I can't see it for me, I have long-ish hair and I won't go to bed with wet hair (I don't like hair dryers). I rarely come downstairs in the morning without washing up, brushing my teeth, etc.

Same and for similar reasons, actually.

Also long-haired and also don't like drying off with a hairdryer, so... unless I want to go to bed with wet hair and wake up looking vaguely like an Skye Terrier... morning it is!

Even with COVID I'm getting in one shower per day. Been washing my hair less frequently (used to wash it with shampoo every day) but that's supposed to be good for your hair/scalp anyway.

You been letting yourself get ripe?

[Destyntine]

I'm very fussy about my hair. I have highlights right now and like to maintain my style all the time. I shower normally once a day at anytime I feel like it. Night, day, doesn't matter. Normally I shower right before whenever I go out in public. 60% of my time in the shower goes to my hair.

You could save on water AND power by recycling your shower water!

Install some little basin in the cubicle though, so you don't have to get out of the shower to pee ...

[The Northern Chinese Republic]

I always take a shower or bath at night.

Think about how long you use the same sheets, blankets, or mattress without washing them. Even if you're a tidy person that remembers to wash your sheets, you probably don't wash them every day. So you don't want to go to bed all sweaty and get that all over your sheets.

Also, I am not a morning person and I do not want to get up early to make time for bathing.

[Radiatia]

I shower in the morning every day, and one a week (usually Friday) I'll also shower at night as a way to cleanse myself of the preceding week.

Actually I'd rather not. My bed is my burrow, and if I can't smell it until I'm actually in it, everything's good.

I spent a while in a mental hospital, and I couldn't work out why it was so hard to get to sleep. There was a bit of noise from the street, but no more than I'm used to. I had a door that locked from the inside, and could only be opened with a key from outside. The mattress was a bit softer than I'm used to, but it wasn't that. Then for some whimsical reason I chose not to change the sheets. Every night after that it got a little easier to sleep.

But those weren't just scratchy, insufficiently sticky clean sheets. They'd been through the hospital disinfection type cleaning, and had a noticeably chemical smell. Now I know from having been more chemically sensitive early in life that if you can smell it, it might affect you. And of course things you can't smell at all could too. Luckily I don't get it much any more, but it really sucked: I could get sick anywhere that wasn't my own home and cleaned only with herbal soap. I think that's what was going on in the hospital, but it could also have been a psychosomatic thing. All that unfamiliar environment, and super clean sheets being just the last straw ...

Even if you're a tidy person that remembers to wash your sheets, you probably don't wash them every day. So you don't want to go to bed all sweaty and get that all over your sheets.

Also, I am not a morning person and I do not want to get up early to make time for bathing.

In my climate, it's much more likely to be warm in the early evening, than early in the morning. So the ideal time is actually late afternoon: early enough to still appreciate cooling down, but not so early that I'll get sweaty again that day.

I said before I often skip days? Well not so much in the summer. Combine getting clean (meh) with cooling down (yeah!) and I shower most days.

I would only consider showering with another human if said human was my girlfriend/wife.

When my family is up at our camp, we sometimes take biodegradable soap with us when we swim.

The Tampa Bay area of Florida. The water wasn't pleasant to drink but I think it was clean.

The worst water I ever saw was at my cousins' house in upstate New York. I took a shower and the water looked milky.

Probably dissolved gas, in the process of bubbling out as the pressure is released. It will be gone in a minute.

It's not necessarily harmless though. If it smells of sulphur or natural gas, it should be left to sit for an hour before drinking. Probably a good idea to boil it too.

The water in my grandparent's old house smelled like sulfur. Showers there always smelled interesting.

You've never been skinny dipping with friends?
I love going to sauna/ Wellness centres and there you'll shower with utter strangers. So bringing friends and shower together is very normal.

I am one of those who will breastfeed during a funeral. So showering with others isn't a stretch for me.

[Calimama]

Typically I shower first thing in the morning, I might take another shower when I get home from work, but only if I feel particularly dirty.

I've only ever showered with my wife but neither of us enjoyed the experience because one of us was always cold waiting to get back under the water. And while washing a partner can be sexy on certain body parts, there are other parts you really just want to take care of yourself.

[Cokoland]

I shower when i want

On a more serious note i mostly shower at night(sometimes at day too) weekly (not all the times) i don't shower every day i think thats a waste of water, so i just wait untill i think i'm dirty enough

Otoh, showing with a spouse, your back gets much cleaner than by yourself.

Koreans have body towels for that instead of wash cloths

A very clever people, but it's not the same.

[Katganistan]

I shower in the morning. If it's particularly hot and humid, I'll shower again when I get home. During the pandemic -- shower when I get back from being out.

[Neanderthaland]

I show when it rains.

Which can make winter a little awkward.

Everyone has their own likes and dislikes. I'm not gonna knock yours. Call me a prude, but I really wouldn't want to go skinny dipping.

[Major-Tom]

Quick, to-the point freezing showers in the morning, lengthy, very warm showers at night after I swim (to relax/get the choline out of my hair).

[The Iron Lands]

I am definitely a person that showers at night. It relaxes me before I go to sleep at night. I don't shower everyday, but at least a couple times a week. Showering at night makes time slow down for a bit and I can enjoy the hot water hitting my skin. One advantage is that I don't have to worry about anyone bothering me because they are all asleep. Also, it helps me stay awake if I need to study for one of my classes. If I ever shower in the morning, I have to get up way earlier because I move like sloth in the morning. It takes me a good 1 hour to fully get myself up and dressed especially if I take a shower.
