Showering?

How often do you shower?

I never shower in the morning, just the evening after work? Usually daily too.

I'm sure this has been done to death!

Tom Mann Centuria · 09-10-2018 7:40am

It has been done to death, but it's a nice change from American politics, gender politics, race politics, UK politics, traveller bashing, dole bashing, boards bashing and unfortunately not seen as much these days Public service bashing (probably just don't have the time).

Edit: Sorry OP, forgot to answer. I tend to have baths unless it's after work, in which case shower.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 09-10-2018 7:40am

Depending on training & work but for sure twice a day, some days three times.

Ficheall · 09-10-2018 7:40am

I shower about as often as this thread pops up to remind me. Keep up the good work, guys!

PirateShampoo · 09-10-2018 7:42am

Always in the evening depending on the days activitys. Never in the morning, I will never understand them freaks who will go to bed dirty and shower in the morning.

Just done a quick search, granted boards.ie has the worst search engine in the entire world, but it hasn't been done to death.

Morning. Feel groggy if I don't shower in the morning.

I never understand those freaks who go to bed clean and wake up dirty.

You are going to accumulate oil on your skin during the night, that's just a fact.

I couldn't imagine going to work having not showered for 12 hours, so weird.

s7ryf3925pivug · 09-10-2018 7:46am

As one of nature's secreters, I need to shower every day or I start to smell pretty bad. Lots of people are fine showering less often though.

lawred2 · 09-10-2018 7:49am

Shower once if not twice a day but always in the morning. Couldn't function without a morning shower. Plus you're simply not clean in the morning no matter what state you went to bed in.

Exactly. Shower in the morning and change the bedclothes often. That's the way to go.

Once a week whether I need it or not

I missed it.. I was probably in the shower.

I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Do you go to work after that?

Whats your opinion on Huey Lewis?.. Personally I thought their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83...

You can't wash away the feeling of shame.

Annasopra · 09-10-2018 8:18am

Excessive showering damages your skin and is unhealthy.

Its advised by a lot of health professionals 2-3 times a week roughly is best.

Three times a day is too much. Once per day can be bad if the water is too hot and if you spend a long time in it.

Edward M · 09-10-2018 8:20am

Every night before bed, then I just jump in again in the morning and give myself a quick rinse as soon as I get out of bed, no gel or shampoo in the morning.

09-10-2018 8:23am

Once a day, usually in the morning. I don't think it really matters if you shower in the morning or evening as long as you wash once a day and wear clean clothes, change bedsheets regularly, etc.

Personally, I do a good bit of what you might call dirty work, general home maintenance and building, I get dusty and dirty most days, I need a shower I think.

I'm the same, plus I'm training a lot then coaching Judo/BJJ. I wouldn't be overly popular if I was only showering 2 or 3 times per week.

Yuk

And by the time you finished, it's time for bed again, right?

markc1184 · 09-10-2018 8:45am

I have to shower in the morning because I sweat through the night. I'll also have a shower most evenings.

I've exactly the same routine, except that I do none of that

CruelCoin · 09-10-2018 9:02am

I shower when I need to shower.

If I'm after a lot of physical exercise then it will be after that.

If I've sat in the office all day and done nothing, then it may be 2/3 times a week.

judestynes · 09-10-2018 9:05am

every morning, maybe when I get home in the evening too depending on what sort of day it's been.

greenspurs · 09-10-2018 9:15am

Golden ???

Cienciano · 09-10-2018 9:19am

This usually desends into people who shower 3 times a day calling everyone dirty scumbags for only showering once a day.

Only a dirty scumbag would feel the necessity to shower 3 times a day. They must be really smelly

:):)

wakka12 · 09-10-2018 10:02am

I shower once every two days plus after whenever I exercise

Feisar · 09-10-2018 10:07am

Twice a day, and on weekends the odd mid day third shower for the craic, love an ould shower.

I’ve wondered about this. I do it the other way around. Full shower in the morning and if I go to the gym I’ll have a rince shower in the evening but no shower gel unless im actually dirty from running or something.

I’m not really afraid of germs or sweat as long as they’re fresh.

09-10-2018 10:13am

I would hope anyone not showering every day will at least wash the important bits with a flannel on the days in between. I agree that most parts of the body don't necessarily need a daily wash, but face, pits and bits do!

retro:electro · 09-10-2018 10:14am

Nothing makes me gawk more than a grown up saying they give themselves a rub down with a baby wipe. Bleugh.

andekwarhola · 09-10-2018 10:15am

Twice a day if running or I'm going out in the evening, otherwise once.

Boom_Bap · 09-10-2018 10:24am

Never have, never will.

I bathe in water imported from the Himalayas and from purify myself from the waters of lake Minnetonka

Neyite · 09-10-2018 11:06am

I shower twice in the evenings and once in the mornings and I set my alarm for 3am so I can have another shower. Just in case.

I also change the bedding three times a day, four if I accidentally touch off a surface in the house. And I Zoflora everything, even my kid.

Anyone else who doesn't adhere to my normal standards is a filthy git.

How about "How often do people on the dole shower!"

09-10-2018 11:11am

Twice a day Mon to Thurs, at least once a day Fri to Sun.

They can't afford to unless they have 10 kids. That and the fact that they spend all day smoking and drinking in Paddy Power, there's simply no time for it.

Alun · 09-10-2018 11:18am

I always wonder how many of these people who shower multiple times a day would have managed to survive during the years of my childhood in the 60's/70's. Showers didn't exist apart maybe from a rubber hose you put on the taps to rinse your hair, and baths were a weekly affair, usually on the weekend, with multiple family members sharing the same bath water, topped up in between with a bit more hot water if you were really lucky.

uncommon_name · 09-10-2018 11:20am

Once every 2 days if I can get away with it. But normally once a day when I get out of bed in the morning. Wakes me up for the day and I feel much better.
Anyone that showers more than once per day has issues and is wasting water unnecessarily.

I bet Aongus Von Bismarck has the exact same shower routine as Patrick Bateman.

I grew up in the 90s and that was the case in my house every Sunday. And we were well off! Just a habit from when my parents were growing up I guess.

Showering?
