How Long Do You Shower For?/How often?

Sindri

On Derek Mooney last week they were talking about the length of time which one showered for and some people it appears only shower for 2 minutes. I don't think you'd be clean after 2 minutes and effectively IMO you'd be wetting yourself but not washing yourself.

I usually shower for more than 10 minutes, which supposedly wastes more than 150 litres.

But afterwards I'm actually clean.

So how long do you shower for?

About 10 Minutes?

10 mins max then the water goes cold i need an electric shower installed

5 Minutes?

a song length.

whatever song is on the radio/phone at the time i'm usually out before it finishes.

Unless its echos or freebird

About 15 Minutes?

10-20 mins depending on how much of a hurry I'm in. The guy that installed the shower told me that more than 10 mins use at a time will burn out the motor. I didn't believe him but then the first motor only lasted 6 months.

20 Minutes Or Over?

Until I burn and scratch the **** out of my eczema. Mmmm absolute heaven. Then I actually start washing.

So.....up to twenty minutes.

I've been told that when the water charges come in i will be limited to 5 mins, it takes me that long to wash me hair!!

Not one to time myself, it'll be about 10 minutes though and that includes washing my hair.

About 10 minutes. Hair needs to be shampooed, then shampooed again, then add conditioner, then exfoliate skin, shave legs and armpits, then moisturizing body wash, rinse out conditioner and somewhere amongst all that I have to badly sing a cr*ppy song very very loudly.

Close enough,

2 minutes cleaning,

13 minutes enjoying the lovely warm water,

5 minutes plucking up the courage to turn the shower off, and face the freeeeezing cold!

10 mins max unless it's a shower after football on a freezing cold night, then it'll be longer as I use the hot water to 'thaw' myself out!

30 Minutes Or Over?

Until I get bored- I'm living in (incredibly overpriced) college accommodation, so I figure I might as well get value for my money!

some random drunk

20 Minutes Or Over?

However long it takes for the hot water to run out.

Coal1978

About 25 mins at night to wash my hair etc and 15 in the morning to freshen up, I have to shower twice a day because I work in a hospital, and it's filthy.

Long enough for me to take a piss, a shit, beat off and vomit.

You do realise what a shower is for don't you? You're using it for the complete opposite reason it was designed for.

5 Minutes?

Between 2 and 5. Have feck all hair on my head, so that doesnt take long to wash! Bit of showergel all over the body, rinse away and done!

fishy fishy

on work days 5 - 7 minutes - that gets my hair washed also.

on weekends a little more, time to exfoliate, pamper, treatments, etc.


Sometimes I envy people with no hair - they are in and out in a couple of minutes.

About 10 Minutes?

If I'm in a hurry 2-3 mins. If I'm not in a hurry 10 mins max.
If I have aches and pains however long it takes for the hot water to run out

You should do the hot/cold therapy. Blast with hot for a few minutes and the same with cold.

I used to do this and love it, now I'd rather cut my arms off than turn that cold tap.

30 Minutes Or Over?

Too long according to the missus. I can't say I've ever actually timed myself but I'd say 20 minutes wouldn't be unusual.

coffee_cake

5 Minutes?

2-5 mins

wash, stop the water and lather up and shampoo, water back on and finish up

how anyone stands in there for 20 mins + is beyond me

cocoshovel

Between 10 And 15 Minutes?

About 10 minutes, but if there is a lot of extra hot water and I have the time I like to space out and lean against the wall staring into oblivion while water falls onto my face.

Water on, wet hair, apply head & shoulders, shower gel body, wash off.

Fenian Army

20 mins or so

pencilsharp

About 10 Minutes?

5 minutes most days and that includes washing my hair!

If I'm shaving my legs as well or washing off fake tan or doing face mask it would be closer to 10 minutes!

BraziliaNZ

yeah 2-5 minutes or so. What the f*ck you would be doing for 20 mins is beyond me. I can understand with women to a certain extent what with all their procedures etc, but my brother used to spend half an hour in the shower. Even if he's jacking off that's a long time.

5 minutes hot then 1 or 2 mintes cold.

He was probably shaving his balls and ass... now there's a mental image for you.

No I've had the misfortune to see him naked regularly at the gym, he doesn't appear to do that
