Can I put forward a question to some of the older members.

What did people do in Ireland before 'showers' became a common fixture in most Irish homes. (1960s, 1970s?)

Did they take a bath every morning? Sinkwash?

bath every weekend whether ye liked it or not. Sinkwash every other day.

BrokenArrows · 31-05-2017 04:12PM

yes, every day.

Occasionally i haven't been able and just feel awful all day.

Once a week here and more if I'm doing dirty work.

Hate showering too, it's a dull, necessary chore. I shower every other day.

Getting into bed with wet hair? No thanks.

YOU CAN'T WASH AWAY THE FEELING OF SHAME LADS.

That's good. The poster I was replying to didn't

Not another shower thread! Ok so I'm a filthy pig for showering every second day unless I've been physically active in hot weather.

I know I really should shower 4 times a day, but I just don't.

Love the occasional bath to unwind in.

I have a 5 minute shower every second day where I turn the water off when it isn't wetting/rinsing. my hair/body. Having a hot shower every day is luxurious and an unnecessary use of water and energy to heat the water. This compulsion to shower every day, sometimes more than once, only came about in the last 10/15 years. Also I can remember that prior to the mid 2000s it was normal for children and adults to wear the same clothes for days on end- now people seem to wear them once and throw them in the wash. Shows the power of culture - when people started to get spoilt during the 2000s the rich started to wash their clothes after minimal wearing and the sense that this is normal began to spread downwards on the socioeconomic scale, similar to how the norm of having a shower every day spread. Every second day is more than often enough.

It only came to Ireland in the past 10/15 years, it was elsewhere long before that. Showers themselves only really came to Ireland quite recently.

Every morning....

Same. Every Sunday morning, whether it's needed or not. Saturday evening if I'm feeling decadent. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, and I've binned Mass these last few years, so a shower is second best.,.wash away the sins. Where would you be going with a daily shower? Sure you'd only go into work and get dirty again.

Do ppl really JUMP into the shower?

Jim Bob Scratcher · 31-05-2017 10:50PM

Every 2 to 3 days is enough. I don't see the need for hoping in the shower every 5 minutes. It's actually quite bad for your skin. You can always use wet wipes to clean your smelly areas and powder for the balls to prevent swap crotch.

We have mental health issues here.

K.Flyer · 31-05-2017 11:05PM

I have a shower every Day, well, when I say Day, I mean SunDay.
That said it would be the last SunDay of the month, except in the odd February, because of the 28 days and leap years as such I could possibly skip showering in February, it gets complicated if you use the four weeks in the month pattern, which means I always end up with an extra month at the end of the year.
Hmmm, there ye have it O.P. the truth is out now.

I've to be poked into the shower using a taser. It's feckin Ireland. It's usually freezing getting back out. Abroad, on the holliers, I'd have 11 showers a day. Nice and warm getting out. Some of these clean-freaks ought to come stay at ours. It's bloody Baltic 300 days of the year. It'd curb their enthusiasm.

The Backwards Man · 31-05-2017 11:08PM

When your only company is sheep and larks, it's as well to leave the showering to the evening

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.

Their parents didn't teach them to look after themselves.

Some kids were not allowed to shower daily.

I shower once a day.:)

Some of my fav people though don't bath too often.

MadDog76 · 31-05-2017 11:51PM

I shower every 15 minutes and spend the time between showers burning my underwear.

Tell me how · 31-05-2017 11:57PM

Yes. Shower every morning. Love it mostly because it loosens my back and I walk out of it ten years younger than when I walked in.

I do understand those that say it's unnatural to shower so frequently. I would bet that less than 10% of the world's population in 2017 have a daily shower. Of course it feels lovely to be fresh but it ain't natural.

You must be working in an Nuclear Waste facility if you do that!

Seriously. If (some) Irish people are spending so much time in showers as they saying they are, where's the chance of any recovery for the economy?

Oh we're very clean, & spent all our time in the shower to show how clean & great we are.

In my time, you washed/shaved every day & had a good bath every week.

Job Done!:)

YFlyer · 01-06-2017 12:36AM

Shower twice a day. Once in the morning and also after training.

GB FAN GALWAY 30 · 01-06-2017 01:08AM

I use the shower 15 times a day.

I work in a care home for the elderly.

Not on you wallet it isn't, besides it can't be good to wash away all that healthy bacteria. If you're in the gym everyday or in a very physical job by all means that's understandable that you'd shower everyday but if you're not I don't see why a person should shower daily.
