Do you shower every morning?

    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

    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.

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

    Yeah but what if you have a sexy time during the night ?

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Sky King


    Do you shower every morning?
    Do we what?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,867 ✭✭✭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.

    Ah now someone out there for everyone.

    Some people seem more concerned with their beds than their co-workers/friends/other humans

    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.

    My bed never lets me down.

    I am not keen on this sweaty weather. Much showering required.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 443 ✭✭DaeryssaOne


    Every single morning - couldn't function otherwise, wash hair every second night (it's too thick and takes too long to dry in the mornings) so yeah - shower a lot but always moisturise after it or I'd be a wrinkled old prune by now

    Do you smell on the way home from work considering you havent showered in 8-9 hours?

    Bed was a fecker to me when it threw me out of it last week mid-sleep :(

    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.


    It's a necessity if like myself though you sweat a fair amount in a short space of time. I have a barely functional sense of smell too, and if I can get it, I know other people are just too polite to say it. It's particularly bad in these kinds of temperatures though where I can be a bit like the guy off the Lynx advert -

    Love my showers in the morning to freshen up. I can't imagine even looking out the window without washing myself. I always take a shower at night too though, the thoughts of grime and pollution on my skin and sleeping with it makes me feel manky.

    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


    Older people come from a generation when they didn't have showers don't forget.

    My grannies house didn't have a bath until the mid 70s and even then she had only had one once a week.

    She washed herself at the sink though and I don't remember her ever smelling.
