Morning or Evening shower

bogwalrus

I recently started showering before bed so in the morning I cut my getting ready time by a good 20mins or so and gets me in that extra bit early beating heavy traffic.

I'm In my mid 30s and cant believe I haven't done it this way before. I think I get a better night's sleep also and my greasy hair and body for the day dont ruin the blankets and pillows.

So curious what people think about the night vs evening shower in their weekly routine.

I shower before I go to bed

And then one before work in the morning

Sometimes even have one after work as well just to freshen up

no way. evening showers are disgusting for the next day and only for country folk.....

Morning. Even if I’ve a bad sleep it wakes me up. I seem to move around a lot at night so the bed head just doesn’t accommodate evening showers.
Also you probably sweat a bit more than you think at night so it’s pointless.

You must have the flesh nearly washed off yourself at this stage.

I bring a bar of soap with me, and shower on my way in each morning during my walk using the rain.

Now that I've said that.. I'm visualising it and realise that I'd have to either:

a) walk in with just me unders on or
b) shower through my clothes

See this is why I'm not a people person!

Ya mean morning v evening? Or is it morning v evening v night?


Yeah the morning one is magic, sets ya up for the day. BUT loads of people are having to get up at stupid o clock now to beat the traffic so its not an option.


I used to get up at 5.15am and no way was I gonna get up at 5.05 to squeeze in a shower.
I since switched hours so now I get up at 6.45 and shower before leaving and yeah it's nice, you feel fresher.


Just personally but my dog comes into the room and jumps into bed and starts licking me on the head at 6.45am every morning nowadays and we have a cuddle, that's my favourite moment of the morning. You can shower or not but that's my happiest morning moment.

I thought this would be an issue and that I would just not be as refreshed in the morning but I have realised that because I'm not completely woken up until 10 ish after my morning coffee that I dont get a slump around lunch anymore and the day is way more relaxed. Also I get to leave for home earlier.

Evening shower. Why would I get into my lovely bed at night grimy from my day?
I understand the morning shower too but I'm always pressed for time and I usually run in the evenings too so shower would be required anyway.

If you work manual labour/outside work this is grand. But if you work in any sort of an office it isn’t IMO.
You may not think it, but I guarantee you you stink

Just apply deodorant at night before you go to bed.

Has all night to do its job then.

Nothing wrong with that, most people's Grandparents or Parents would have done the same and also had what is still referred to as 'the cat's lick' at the sink in the morning time.

Every day or multiple daily showers can bring their own problems of skin dryness and irritation. Personally I'd shower 5 or 6 days out of 7 and either morning or evening depending on my diary and I'm fine. My missus would be quick to tell me if I needed a wash and its never arisen.

Absolute nonsense. Daily showering isn’t even necessary in order to not “stink”

You are saying that if you don't shower daily in the morning you stink?

monkeysnapper

I shower when needs be, I run some mornings or cycle so I shower ... I get dirty at work I shower when I get home... if I dont do excersize or get dirty I dont shower .....I've gone 3 days before now without a shower and also had 2 showers in one day ...

I wouldn't obsess over it....

Antiperspirant works better when applied at night too. I'm more likely to get a bit whiffy if I shower in the morning.

Depends on your job and evening activity. If i was out running at night - im not - id have to shower.
But i prefer the morning one. Even tho im up early

Ladybird18

Every morning and in the evening if I work out which could be 4/5 days a week.
Couldnt function without my daily shower.

amadangomor

Are all the evening showerers asexual?

The multiple times a day showerers are ****ed up even more. Not good for you or the environment for that matter- you dry skin, planet killing maniacs!

Why would you have a shower in the morning after having one in the evening? Madeness! I’d shower about 3 times across the 7 days of the week on average.

If i shower to wash my hair in the evening ..i would still just have a quick body shower in the morning. It only takes 5 mins.

I usually just shower in the morning though.

If i don't wash my hair etc (which i only do maybe twice or three times a week) then a body shower only takes 5 mins. I wear a cap.

I should prolly body shower once in the evening and once in the morning tbh. I don't know why i don't.

If i shower too much though ..it can dry out my face a little in the winter.

I do prefer baths. But well ..who has time?

And no i don't think you are dirty if you don't shower everyday.

extra gravy

I'm not a morning person but for that reason I actually shower in the morning. It's refreshing and makes me less miserable being up so early.

Cus u get all sweaty in ur sleep and its nice to feel fresh when hopping into bed with the woman

bogwalrus

This thread is making me think I need to shower in evening and morning now. Did not expect that. Now my schedule is all screwed.

Also I dont get the people that cycle to work and start their day as a sweaty mess. I see some doing the farmers wash in the sinks. I could not start my day like that.

S.G.M.

I'm amazed so many shower daily let alone more than once for some people.
Id shower every other day generally but maybe more depending on how my gym schedule falls etc.
I've never in my life showered 7 days in a row.

Edit: Reading through the comments, I understand it a bit better. My showers last over 20 mins as I suffer from OCD so have my cleaning 'ritual' and I find them quite stressful at times.

If the gf and I want sexy time, it's a shower before bed:), otherwise it's in the morning. Sure you sweat in bed at night?

all about the mane

I have to shower everyday. Between work and exercise I would stink otherwise. I shower after exercise so that varies on a day to day basis.

Is this like an agreement you have beforehand?

Don’t be daft. Night-before showering is grand. Where do people encounter these smelly people? I hardly ever did even on packed public transport. Not a chance that it was because everyone had just had a shower. People are seriously paranoid about cleanliness.

Depends on your culture country ..family background etc.

What is normal for some isn't for others.

Gretas Gonna Get Ya!

I get the power washer out 3x daily... :P

Do I win?

Am I the cleanest of them all??

There's probably someone out there, who scrubs themselves with industrial strength bleach... and then wraps their body in some kind of protective plastic film to block out atmospheric bacteria!

feelthepower

During the Summer every day, sometimes twice a day and fresh change of clothes. Easy drying.

During the Winter and cold months every 2nd day and I'd get two days out of a work shirt and alternate. I hate sticking clothes in a dryer as it completely ruins them.

I'm just generally not a smelly person. If I had a partner it would be fresh change of clothes and shower every day during Winter.

Optimalprimerib

Normally morning, but if I had a shower at night, I'd skip the morning shower. I might have a bath during the weekend

There was a fair lot of us kids. We got baths on Saturday evenings whether we were dirty or not. Could be two at a time. There was a rush to be in the first lots when the water was cleaner before the more farty brothers fcuked the place up entirely. Showers were not a thing, even into my adulthood. There were these rubber tubes that went on the taps that simulated showering but the head could equally spin out if your soapy wet hands and drench the room. There were bedsits in Ranelagh with shared bathrooms, rusty patches in the baths, rubber tubing for the showers, the flabby oul lad from number 3 coming out smelling of cologne while you waited with your towel in the hall in case the spinster civil servant from number 4 got in before you...How did we survive!

Not too many 'jobs ' either!

Always in the morning. And often another in the evening.

Couldn't even countenance going to work not having a shower. Gross.

Only recently have developed dry skin around my elbows/mid arms - have put it down to over showering (daily), and now use sensitive skin shower gel. I don't directly apply it to the sensitive area.

Not sure how the multiple a day showerers aren't damaging their skin. Must be due to different skin types.

Morning.
I have to supplement hormones and while they make my life so much better, sweating quite a bit at night is the trade-off.

Winter - night time most of the time (but mornings on days off). Very occasionally I'd get away with skipping one (e.g. at Christmas when I'm just sitting around).

Summer - mornings, but night time after exercise.

Bar the odd exception, showering more than once a day is ocd-ish.

Or just different..

Lad at work can be smelled from across the room... You know every room he's just been in. You can almost taste him.

He's definitely got the balance wrong.

"Ah yes, I remember it well" ;well. some of it! As the youngest child I was always the last.

Before we moved to a new build after the war, it was a tin bath in front of the fire. One of my earliest memories. Each family had a set of 3 tin baths, nesting inside each other
Now? Well, the council promised to fit a bath in my unusual accommodation as the shower was defunct …. That was nearly 3 years ago, so I have entered my second childhood of washing at the basin or sink. a bucket for my feet. in front of the fire.

Showering everyday for the sake of it is just because people are conditioned to think it’s necessary, sheep mentality. If you need a shower because you are actually dirty that’s different but showing because that’s what people do is just silly really. In the normal course of your day you don’t smell because you haven’t had a shower for a few days (not everyone exercise as a normal part of their day before that is pointed out).

I don’t have a girlfriend btw, I have a wife.

Well that's someone who just doesn't shower.

I only bath and never shower but I have it in the morning because you never wake up feeling clean even if you do it the night before.
