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.

When I was younger and much more active, I was a shower every day person. Now that I’m older, I find every other day or three to be good for my skin. I’ve always had a very ruddy complexion, but I’ve figured out that on days I don’t shower, my skin looks its best. So I try to go as long as I can before my armpits start smelling. When I first started skipping days, my scalp would get oily quick, but now my second day hair is pretty nice too (probably also thanks to going with a silicon free conditioner). Basically I just try to shower when I smell or have been sweaty.

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.

[–] AlpineSteakHouse@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year 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.

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.

[–] Yaref@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I do once a week

[–] psychothumbs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year 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.

[–] Thisfox@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Blake@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year 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.

Gas ain't cheap here. I bath once or twice a week, but i'll have a quick shower once a day (unless I bathe)

A shower every couple of days. I'm on well water in a pretty nasty drought so I try to save what water I can.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Fubar91@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] pacoboyd@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] MooseBoys@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

I take one shower per day.

[–] MiddledAgedGuy@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Like .8 on average I'd guess?

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] the_lone_wolf@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year 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.
