Do you shower every morning?

lawred2

I ask because I'm sitting on a bus traveling into town and there are a number of lads who have quite clearly not had a wash this morning..

I don't get it.

elefant

Can barely function without a morning shower.

Ubbquittious

No.Unless the water making its way into the plughole is visibly brown or grey I feel like I'm wasting my time as well as not getting value for money out of my shower.

lawred2

Same.. It's like I've never left the bed if I haven't showered

Edit.. That was not in response to ubiquitous lol

murpho999

Oh no, not this again.

Get ready for people who shower after every meal, using a clean Egyptian cotton towel each time and put on clean underwear having thrown their previous underwear out after one use.

Yes, except possibly one day of the weekend if feeling Very lazy.

I thought it was before and after every meal?

Oh jesus. Just when i thought i had purged the last hygiene thread from my memories, it comes back.

There is some people who shower twice a week and they think nothing of it or rarely wash clothes.
And they think nothing of it.

RobbingBandit

I wash myself with a rag on a stick.

Damn you.

Ah now

I wouldn't throw out the underwear

Wire brush and Dettol once a week.

It all depends who's cooking.

I would shower before and after if I was cooking but if it is being prepared by somebody else then I think a shower after is sufficient.

Hande hoche!

Usually, if I'm doing some physical labour early on in the day then might leave the shower till after noon.

There are definitely people who don't even think to wash daily, let alone shower. Those are the smellies that you meet on the bus.

I never leave the house without a shower, I'd feel manky if I did. I'd very often have one in the evening too.

Love a shower. Feels so so good!

I know someone who only showers once a week. I stayed in her house one time for a few days and had a shower every day, but she has no shower curtain. So every time the shower is used it creates a big mess in the bathroom with water everywhere. She won't buy one because she feels she is over 70 and that it's not worth the bother installing one for the few years that's left in her

After every shower I had she would spend half an hour or more cleaning the place up with towels unkown to me until I saw her at it one day. Then I stopped having showers there and I havn't been back there since. Despite only showering once a week her house is perfectly clean and she spends ages cleaning, polishing and tidying the place. Believes washing too often is bad for the skin.

Shower when I get home from work or after exercise.

RocketRaccoon

I start work at 5am most mornings, if I put the shower on before that my wife would murder me. I shower at night, 4/5 times a week. Or if I've been for a cycle, I get in to the shower as soon as I get home.

Kimbot

I don't have time in the mornings to shower, I'd need to be up at 4:30 just to put the water on so I leave it until I get home from work.

irelandrover

Actually, for the people who think you stink if you dont shower every morning.
Do you stink on the bus home from work in the evening?

Jobs OXO

Always nice to have a shower after the morning salvo out of the botty. Also good to give a wash to the aul sex stick and the plums daily.

red_scarlett34

Same, don't have time in the morning. Start work at 8. I do a quick body wash at the sink and that's it. Usually shower in the evenings.

Mint Sauce

No, but I do nearly every evening. Could not get into bed after a day at work without one.

A summers day, like the one we are getting, could mean two showers in the day.

Incinerating them is much more hygienic.

Every second morning, with a quick wash on the interim morning.

I think you'll find that the people who smell don't shower in the morning or night and don't change clothes that often.

Unless you are doing physical work then a daily shower isn't a necessity. Then there are the people who think a bit of deodorant stops BO stinking when you need antiperspirant for that.

Cee-Jay-Cee

I have a shower once a month whether I need it or not.

And before you caught her cleaning it up I suppose you thought the bathroom cleaned itself?

You 'll also find that marketing and advertisement has made us think and feel we must not smell funny, so we must consume that smelly spray stuff, just to 'fit in'!

Babies and prepubescent children should only bath/shower once or twice a week.

Elderly people should only wash once a week. That lady you know is right. At that skin is getting thinner and produces less oil. overwashing does damage it.

Between those ages, every day or second day is a minimum. Some people really don't smell, fair enough. But I think if you're commuting on public transport and then working around others it's polite to shower daily. It's not that great for your skin, so a light moisturiser afterwards can help.

Sleeper12

Everyday but not necessarily every morning. I'm a tradesman and imagine usually pretty ripe getting home from work so that it is the best time to for me

Surreptitious

I shower in the night time so I'm fresh and then the next day. Take of that what you will. I wash everything that's been worn once and then put on fresh clothes.

Yes mostly but on the days where I don't have to be anywhere I might not bother and adopt a "feck it" attitude for the day. I haven't a thing on tomorrow so will spend it in pjs and the extent of my hygiene will be to brush my teeth.

Women tend to get more smelly than men if they dont shower often.

Just wash yourself once a day. Like everyone else in society. People need to stop adding caveats to it.

If you're old your skin's not going to fall off. And if you don't work around others you should still wash, have some self respect.

Just taking the small control group of me, the lads I went to boarding school with, immediate family and ladyfriends, I would say that that is wrong.

I shower after the sexy time and considering I'm fat and ugly it's unlikely I have any sexy time at all.

Prime Irish Beef

After exercise, always. I'm currently showering twice a day because I cycle and I ****ing hate it. Three times a day on the day I swim. I take one day off a week and get the bus. I don't shower that day. That does be my exercise free day too.

I was saying to my housemates that I'm gonna take a week off and live in my own filth.

Sam Kade

I suppose the follow on from this will be the how often you change your underpants thread.

XsApollo

I shower before bed.
I don't understand all those people that shower in the morning that then get into bed with a full days sweat and mank on them.
Dirtbags :-(
:-D


But yea , usually before bed or late at night during the week.

And the mornings on Saturday ,Sunday.

Sky King

Do you shower every morning?

Do we what?

fancy pigeon

Yes. Then a shower afterwards.

We are talking about golden showers, right?

Nothing better than having a long scaldy shower just before bed every night, then coming out and putting on loads of moisturiser, tying the hair up wet in a bun and getting into bed with fresh pjs. Nothing beats it, it washes off the day.
Don't have time for showering before work but do have a quick wash every morning. I shower every evening before bed, though.

Pretty much the same. Before bed about half the time, in the morning the other half.

Some people here seem to have very sensitive noses.

I don't think I'd notice if someone had no shower for 2,3 or even in some cases 7 days like the lady I mentioned before unless they were doing serious exercise

And rightly too. When has bed ever been a bastard to you?

Bed is life.
