Curiosity only.

Here in Brazil it's very common to have several showers a day. I, for example, take two. The first is when I wake up, before I go to work, and the second is when I get home from work. I wake up at 6.30am and get home at 8pm.

edit: I said bath, but I meant shower.

1 before bed. If I’m trying to conserve water I might only do it on days I workout - so every other day before bed.

Depends on the season. I will shower in the mornings and after my swim and again maybe before bed on a hot 40C January day. I might shower one in three on cold June winter holidays when I am home 24/7.

Once a week, whether I need it or not.

It would be interesting to see how shower use correlates with water temperature. It feels like that correlation would be negative and usage of showers is premised on the existence of cheap energy, AKA fossil fuels.

Shower once a day. Sometimes I'll skip a day if I didn't do a lot or get really sweaty.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Usually one in the morning. Once in a while another one if I get too sweaty or dirty.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

2-4. One longer one in the morning for cleaning myself. A 2-3 minute one when I workout or get sweaty. And a final short one before climbing into bed.

Sometimes I just decide I need to destress and take another 10-15 minute long one. If I have an easily accessible sauna at a knobs turn then you bet I'll be using it.

Two at minimum, one in the morning, one at night. If I am nasty and gross from doing something, more.

On days I leave the house, I shower once in the morning. That used to be 5-6 times per week, but since COVID I’ve been working from home, so that number is 1-2. I’ll also shower after swimming or strenuous exercise, though that’s rare for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

At the moment, none, because I’m not able to - having to keep myself clean with basically just a basin and soap. Usually, somewhere between 0.25 and 0.5 a day. I don’t really get particularly dirty or sweaty. If I did get particularly dirty/sweaty then I’d just shower ASAP.

Like .8 on average I'd guess?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I take one shower per day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Since starting fall quarter of college, every day I have to go. And on Fridays if I have something like a doctor's appointment that day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I take 4 showers per day if i am going out for work and if i stay at home only 2, morning and in night and before going to bed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Once a day, I feel like trash if I even skip one day.

Tho honestly I often wonder if twice a day is optimal. I always feel great the few times I take it twice, but when I only take it once, I always wake up wanting to shower immediately to get the oil off.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

One morning shower but we don't have hot climate here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Twice a day in summer, every other day in winter, once a day in spring and fall

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I take a shower in the morning if I work out, and I always take one at night. So like 1.5 times a day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Depends on the time of the year,

During the summer I’d have one before and after work, during winter once a day or once every two days

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Twice a day normally. 1 morning, 1 after work if im dirty, sweaty or stinky.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

In the hottest part of summer, morning and night, but the rest of the year is every day I work out or every other day.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Shower once per day unless I get a haircut or am very sweaty.
