    Do you take a shower every day?

    I take a shower every morning of the week (including Sundays LOL) , i feel it wakes me up and if i have some pains it eases some of them away and i feel refreshed. but i was reading an article once saying that showering every day can actually be more harmful because you are deleting the body of essential oils

    - I feel terrible if I dont get to have my daily shower now for some reason or another which is very rare.

    I shower twice a day. Before work and after work.
    Once a day at the weekends.

    It should be the law.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,740 ✭✭✭ILikeBoats


    Yes

    In my case, yes, a few times a day depending on activities. But there is always a shower first thing to get rid of the night funk.

    A few times a day! What are you a part time pig farmer and fish munger?

    Used too. Now once every 48 hours. Will go to 24 hours or less over the summer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    I shower once a month whether I need to or not...I'm just pernickety like that.

    a lot of people would smell a lot sweeter if they had at least one shower a day. - trouble is when they stink they cant smell themselves ... they have gone "noseblind" LOL ... but others can smell them

    you imagine 8 hours in bed or whatever , sweating away whilst you sleep, dead skin, and then waking up and putting clean clothes (or with some people 3 day old clothes) onto a dirty body - gross! :D

    So close.
    I sometimes do physical activities for sustained periods that warrant cleansing.

    soz - should have done me research.

    I have to shower twice a day- I have a smelly foreskin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,262 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    Monday to Friday is at least 1 a day with the gym first thing before work, training on Tuesday and Thursday nights bumps that into 2 a day on those days.

    I would shower as much as a normal person would.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,749 ✭✭✭✭wes


    Once a day, twice if I go to the gym.

    Minimum once a day. If I ever stop cleaning myself daily I will likely be needing committing.

    You can throw the "Essential oils" into the bull**** bin together with the "pro-vitamins".
    Marketing mumbo jumbo, there's no such thing.

    Once every 2 days for me. 1 per 3 if i'm being a dirty backpacker.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    Twice a day, I don't get dirty but I like to lather myself up cos I'm worth it ;) :P

    I bet you have the washing machine and dryer on the go 24/7 like myself.

    I like to change clothes 7 times a day.

    Jesus man, just use the sink like the rest of us.

    I guess I do put stuff in bins form time to time, probably as much as your average joe, but no need for a shower afterwards.
    Well there was one time when there was an incident with a tin of spaghetti hoops and a bin where I did need a shower afterwards, but that was an isolated incident.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,482 ✭✭✭✭Ush1


    I workout pretty much everyday and shower straight after.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,532 ✭✭✭facehugger99


    I wash myself with a rag on a stick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,232 ✭✭✭Sam Quentin


    I echo the op.
    Right down to feeling just not the same if I for some reason(very rarely)miss my shower...


    My tip of the day: If you have an electric shower fed from the mains!? .. Never brush your teeth before you put your shower on. The water pressure in most parts of Éire is not great. So if you use the bathroom tap(from tank)then you will lose even more pressure as your tank try's to fill up from the mains as you take your shower. Possibly triggering the heating element in your shower to shut down as it's automatic and has a shutdown safety feature..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,070 ✭✭✭✭pq0n1ct4ve8zf5


    Every second day, sometimes every third. Pits and bits wash daily.

    In summer yeah, probably every day.

    I like very hot showers and have very sensitive skin, I'd be a big walking streak of red itchiness if I took one daily. It's bad for your skin and immune system to overwash too.

    You shed a lot more skin and sweat into your clothes than in the shower, smell wise it's probably more important to change those.

    I do smoke but I'm not overweight, have a healthy diet etc, there seem to be certain lifestyle factors as well as just the spin of the wheel that affect how much someone sweats and their body odour.

    Don't believe in showering, it's a waste of energy.
    It rains enough here, so I just run out naked wearing shower gel when it rains.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,633 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    I shower after every meal, using a clean Egyptian cotton towel each time and put on clean underwear having thrown the previous underwear out after one use.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,879 ✭✭✭✭Andy From Sligo


    its been said (although i have never given it a go ... might put it on my bucket list if I ever get one) that if you dont wash your hair on week number 2 of it being filthy and maggotty it actually starts washing itself - science/nature is incredible innit?

    i think Rastafarians never wash their locks ...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,825 ✭✭✭LirW


    I'm just here waiting for nox and the big sh1tshow that will result of him talking about his hygiene.

    Also yes, in the morning, washing my hair every second day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,737 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    Most days. Weekends depending on what I've been doing.

    Shower every morning after swimming to get the chlorine out, and again in the evening if more exercise is done. Morning shower takes a bit longer since I do a hair wash and any other grooming that needs doing, any evening shower is a quickie job to freshen up.

    AH is becoming a real Groundhog Day experience lately.

    filth wearing a 'clean' pair of grundies more than once even if they have been washed in the machine. only plebs would do that ...

    I get a visit by the hair fairy every night without fail , so I have to include washing of my hair in my daily shower unfortunately to tame it ....

    I have 2 showers in our present house (i'm not rich LOL - its a rented house) we have an electric pumped one in the main bathroom that takes its hot water from the cylinder in the hot press and gets its water from the tank in the attic , not the mains water thats nice and powerful enough but the one in the en-suite (honestly I am not rich, its just a rented house with an en-suite :) ) well thats 9kw one runs on mains or watever it is and it is complete and utter Shítesville - I could spit stronger than the water that comes out of that ... unless you turn it all the way to the freezing cold setting , then its more powerful .

    yeah the cold mains pressure over here in most parts of Ireland is shíte - feck in the UK you turned on cold mains tap ever so slightly on the sink and you drowned yourself with it splashing up at ya.
