    Shower Time

    How long do you stay on your bathroom?

    On average these are my timings
    - working days: 20 minutes
    - ordinary days: 45 minutes
    - special occasions: 1 hour

    My husband quickest time in the shower is 3 minutes, longest is 8.
    Don't just try, DO IT!

    It is not heated, and usually about 8C, so I don't stop too long. Have to get out before the uncontrollable shivering sets in.

    I love cold shower and it's also good for my long hair.

    Brr ... I'm not surprised ... I rarely spend much time in the either - as I've always had a tendency to prefer a nice hot, relaxing bath.

    agree. Still wondering how men managed a minute or 5 shower. It's only a warm up for us

    Funny that!, the local water company just fitted a water meter and left an egg timer you stick on the wall to time yourself in the shower. Only 4 minutes!!! looks like my water bills will be going up.

    One hour or so is normal for ladies. However, men staying longer than 5 minutes in the shower means something else

    Staying 1 hour in the shower doesn't mean that water is running the whole 60 minutes. On my case, i spend 10 minutes on body scrubbing and 15-30 minutes waiting time for my conditioner to settle on my hair. Btw, I'm not using shampoo at all so I can still save some time

    I hate baths and haven't had one since September.





    But then that could be because I had my bathroom ripped out in September and had a new one fitted and did away with the bath opting for a shower instead (no room for a bath as well) I have always preferred a shower to a bath as I hate laying in my own dirty water in a bath.

    To answer the question, 5 minutes for a shower and 5 to shave 2-3 times a week

    Ahem, I would just like to point out that in 5-8 minutes I wet/lather/rinse/have a good soak in the hot water, and even sometimes shampoo. I also don't have a golden mane of beautiful hair which takes agres to wet/lather/rinse. My showers at Roses's house in the Philippines are somewhat shorter, probably something to do with no hot water

    We haven't used the bath since moving into this house last summer. Last time it was used was my Brother cleaning his motorcycle clothes! I do think baths are ideal for children so would never rip one out of a house and only just have a shower in the bathroom.

    I have a shower everyday and a bath once a week, I prefer a bath, for anyone to take longer than ten minutes having a shower and washing hair excluding cutting nails ect as that doesn't count because thats not having a shower they must be really dirty!

    What a strange conversation but to join in the lathering fun I rarely bath and have showers all the time.
    When I'm away for work I usually take the peace to have a bath.

    At home it's a case of as quick as possible as I'm usually in a rush.

    I take a shower once a month, whether I need one or not.

    I always get asked how come I look so youthful.
    What's the secret?

    Simply not washing away those natural oils from my skin

    interesting to read what other people are doing inside the bathroom. well i dont take hours inside the shower i dont like to get wet for a long time, i only take about 20 - 30mins (not to mention the time i do my daily skincare routine, deciding what to wear,after shower haircare and doing my makeup ) my husband takes about 3mins so whenever we plan to go out he always finish first than me so he always moans when i don't get ready as soon as he's done.
    No amount of makeup can mask an ugly heart

    Japanese style is favourite for us both.
    A shower and scrub followed by a relaxing but very very hot bath.

    Good for body, soul and mind
