How often do you shower/bathe?

I'd never dream of asking someone in person how often they bath or shower.
Frankly, I don't care.

Unless I am washing my hair, which I usually only do once a week, my daily shower uses no more water than I would need in the basin for a stand up wash - 5 seconds of water to wet myself, then I soap myself, then probably no more than thirty seconds of water to rinse off the soap.
The half a bucket of cold water that I have to run off first is used for flushing the toilet, so absolutely no waste!

The Marigold glass cloth is absolutely magic for cleaning after a a shower when the room is all steamed up. I clean directly after a shower I shower three times a week but if I have overdone things and am very hot it very sore I go and sit in the shower especially during hot weather

Why bother even commenting then ? There are lots of reasons someone might be interested in other peoples answers it’s neither rude or impolite to ask it’s just an anonymous question MissAdventure

I shower thoroughly and shampoo my hair 3 times a fortnight. I don’t do manual work and I use deodorant when I have my daily flannel wash. It’s better for my hair and skin not to overwash and strip the natural oils.
As chemicals to clean my shower would be hazardous to my health, I use vinegar. Where are all these dirty old folk coming from? Many old folk bathe once a month as many did not grow up with the luxury of baths or showers at home. I didn’t have a bath in my home till I was in my teens. Daily baths and showers are not needed unless doing manual work.

Agreed, but it is quite rude to pick holes in other people's answers, I think.
Everyone is different, with their own reasons for bathing/showering daily or not, and these threads usually end up that way.
I have seen someone say they can smell other people's legs on public transport before.
Perhaps it was mine giving off a whiff?

Not being very domesticated I’ve learned a lot from this thread, especially as I’m a bath not a shower person. I’ve always dried my washing machine after use but never thought to clean and dry the shower on the rare occasion that I have one.

I used a magic sponge to clean my new bath - it took off all the coating in a swirl pattern.

That’s just really weird

Yes, isn't it?

What do legs smell like for heaven's sake?

Shower once a day (I do a manual job outdoors and get filthy)
Clean the shower once a week (soft water area/just how clean does a shower need to be?)

Remember years ago the concept of a 'strip wash'. People all over Britain standing naked in an enamel bowl clutching a bar of Coal Tar Soap and a worn towel. I'm so glad time has moved on.

I like a bath but I’m now finding it hard to get out! I have to get on my knees and haul myself up and out so a bath once a week is a luxury for me. Otherwise I shower every day, hair wash once or twice a week. We have hard water and I’ve tried most sprays but still have watermarks on the glass screen. It’s a pain!

I shower daily, fairly quickly. Never bathe and as for wiping down afterwards? I just walk out and leave it! A good clean once a week is all it gets! Those shower sprays get on my chest and make me cough. They can't be good for you surely?

I think coal tar soap is good for some skin conditions; I quite like the smell of it.
I love imperial leather, too.

I reckon everything is bad for us.

Shower daily but wash my hair every 2 weeks.

MissAdventure. I agree everything is bad for us. Yes Imperial Leather gives a light fresh clean smell.

I have a bath first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I find it more difficult to sleep if I haven't had a bath at night.

I don't like showers at all. The only time I use it is to rinse my hair.

My husband and I have our own showers, we both shower every night before bed then again if we have an appointment that needs us to get up close and personal. Husband washes his hair every night, I do mine once a week. Showers get cleaned as they need it

I shower or bath every day. I'm using the Method shower spray at the moment after my shower, but it's not as good as others, so won't buy it again. I like other Method products but not this one. We clean the whole bathroom thoroughly once a week, but I clean the washbasin and toilet every day with Method bathroom cleaner or similar.

I shower and my husband does before bed. I could never get into my bed dirty.

The Dove products were recommended by my Dermatologist at the Hospital. They are 'not soap' they will not dry out the skin.. even the Dove beauty bar is not soap.it does not contain the harsh ingredients of imperial leather ect; which I previously used.

I shower as soon as I get up in the morning before breakfast but after my cup of tea though......if a busy day again in evening.

I have a friend who before covid I hugged her and she had that unwashed hair unfresh smell....not bo and if I hadn't of hugged I wouldn't have known as she didn't smell to be near but

People have BO not only because they don't shower/bath/wash enough but because that don't change their clothes often enough. I only shower 3 times a week because of very dry skin - and have a 'good' wash the other days - but I am very particular about putting on clean clothes!

I can't understand the complaints that showers are more trouble to clean than baths. A bath takes more space, it's hard to get into the corners and then there are taps to clean.
We have a walk-in shower. After replacement hip operations I can't step over something at waist height to get into/out of a bath. (We do have a bath as well but don't use it. )
Some of the gransnetters seem to spend a lot of time cleaning their showers - can all that wiping down be really necessary?

Once a day for us, and clean the shower once per week. We're satisfied with that, but obviously other aren't: that's personal preference. which is how it should be
