Re: How often do you bathe - take a shower?

You can save money and still shower every day. Just get wet, then turn off the water while you lather up. Only turn it on when you need to rinse. That right there will save you tons. Water and soap are cheap so I don't see any reason not to shower if you are going to be out and about.

This would not work for me! takes to long to get the water temp adjusted as it is! I take a 10 - 15 minute shower tops. My husband always says that is not long enough and I gotta wonder "what is he doing in there!" I mean think about it how long does it take to rub soap on your body and wash your hair? I can do it in less than 10 if I am in a hurry.

I am notorious for a 20 minute shower... Ha-Ha! Just my idea for ways to save money.

twice a day. morning and before going to bed. but i just wash my hair during mornings only. frequent bath is a must. it would keep you healthy and very hygienic.

Wash hair two or three times a week. I put my hair up when I bathe. When I'm working I do it in the sink as part of the face cleaning and other hot water activities, but keep it quick.

Bathe every night BUT, we share the water. Sounds gross, but when we were first married there was never hot water in our apartment, and we couldn't afford it in CA. Korea, clean water was hard to find. Etc. Hubby can easily shower for 30-45 minutes, 3 times a day, without a thought.

So, our system...after gardening or workouts, we rinse/wipe off visible dirt and sweat in the mud room, then at night we run one tub of water, and we bathe in turns before the water gets cold.

Growing up, frugal mom had kids wash feet off every night, bathed on Saturday nights for Sunday church. Period. When I hit high school, I was allowed to shower twice a week, which was great.

Daily shower of 3 to 5 minutes. Once or twice a year I treat myself to a bath. If I am just hanging out at the house I have been known to skip a day. I just don't feel right if I don't bathe though.

Louisiana is a very hot and humid state, so I could never go more than a day without showering. Right when I step outside I begin to sweat and I just feel downright icky. I'll wake up a few minutes before class (dorm is right across the street from the building that houses majority of my classes) so I'll forego a shower for some extra zzzzs, but right when I step outside I regret it and usually end up running back to my dorm in between classes to shower.

But I have mastered the art of 5 minute showers recently when my alarm didn't go off and my friend pounded on my door to wake me up (we are in the same classes), so I no longer have to choose between extra sleep and a shower.

*looks around*
On the days that I wake up way too late to take a shower in time, extra deoderant and one of those dryer sheets do a great job making you smell fresh and clean, even if you aren't.

Re: How often do you bathe - take a shower?

I have really thick frizzy hair so it doesnt even START to look good until the second day. I must wash it though (depending on what I am doing) the fourth or fifth day. All bets are off though, if I work out.

i shower daily, but wash my hair every couple days, its long and dry so gotta give it a chance to build up some natural oils. i do do that trick on long trips tho, its a 15 hr drive with kid pit stops to mich from mo, and just driving makes me feel nasty, it helps to take a cloth and wipe down during stops. the climate changes, the elevation its all a factor.

Re: How often do you bathe - take a shower?

I personally prefer to shower 1-2x a day & I wash my hair once a week.
But my oldest dd is insistant on 2x a day, she's only 3 & thinks it's a water park & could spend her whole day in there
Dh thinks it's his personal hiding spot, so he's in the tub atleast an hour everyday!

I think my il's only go 1x a week or maybe everyother day or so. They wash up daily. They do this because they are older and have a hard time getting in & out of the tub.

Re: How often do you bathe - take a shower?

i prefer my jaquizzi tub,lol, but i know its expensive. so i do that like once a week and shower daily, wash hair every other day. when im in the shower, i leave a cloth covering the drain, so that the bottom fills with water, giving my feet a good soaking while cleaning.
