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.

I do once a week

[–] bl00dmeat@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Typically once every other day, depending. I spend most of my average work week inside at home, and my very thin hair responds much better when I only wash it every 2-3 days. If I'm going out or otherwise get dirty/smelly, it's cleaning time regardless.

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.

Florida here.

Once a day in the evening, unless I really get sweaty in the day (yardwork or hot yoga) then twice but soap (not everywhere) once a day, shampoo about twice a week, but rinse, conditioner, and restyle hair most days.

Husband washes like OP, in the morning before work and in the evening too. It's hot here.

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

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.

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.

[–] 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.

[–] 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.

[–] 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.

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

Like .8 on average I'd guess?

[–] Montagge@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] 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.

[–] ThatGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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.

I take one shower per day.

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)

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

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