No set schedule, but I am an evening showerer, don't want to get in the bed dirty.

As for how often, usually every other day when I worked in an office, but now, since getting the farm, it's every day!
Today was twice. Had a cow presenting, & while I was checking her, she cut loose! LOL, had to shower right after that, then back out to the barn where I got dirty again, so back in the shower! (Gonna check her one more time before dark, may need another shower!)
I also shave in the shower, brush my teeth too, big time saver.

I don't think there's any debate that you get a lot dirtier from the day than you do sleeping. So why do some people say they only shower in the morning because they feel gross? Don't they feel even nastier going to bed?

I just tried at this at my desk. Yep it's kinda loud

I don't mind it being a bit rough. I just care that it looks clean and professional.

Same here. I'd never heard of it either, but I just did it at my desk. It was pretty loud.

People have said it depends what you do.

Most of the times if you interact with people you will want to be clean so usually the shower in the morning makes more sense.

If you do a lot of physical work or such then one before bed could be better.

Everyday, morning, after waking up [shower actually helps me wake up a bit]
Everytime after sex [random from once to a few times per week]
Everytime after playing ice hockey [twice a week]

Once, morning.

Generally, this.
On the weekend, I may not shower until soon before we are going to be going somewhere.
If I play ball in the evening, I will shower after that, too.

I remember growing up, my parents had us bathe/shower at night (and we do the same with our kids). My parents still shower at night.

I have to think about when I switched from evening to morning shower. It may have been as late as college!

I like to feel clean and fresh in the mornings. It's a new day, I like to start every day nice and fresh. Plus a shower helps me wake up as I've never been a morning person. Of course if I'm going to go out later in the night I'll take another shower so I won't be smelly.

It used to be once every morning. Now, it's like once every night or so. I don't shower to shower unless I have something important to be clean for. I do it to waste time with some nice hot water. I usually wash my hair, sometimes shave, and sometimes brush my teeth. Then I just sit there for 20 more minutes and think.

Every night or so? So not even every day? You might want to shower at least once a day. It might help with your confidence so you don't smell and people will actually get close enough for some human interaction.

You sure? I get pretty close with a lot of people when I go dancing... I get compliments on meh smell two.

Showering every day just gets tiring now. Sometimes I shower 4 times a day, sometimes I don't shower for a few. It depends on how I am doing.

Mon - Fri I get up at 6am and go straight to the shower.

Weekends I make some breakfast then shower.

Days I do yard work I always take a shower as well as after getting a hair cut.

I shower morning and evening, every day.

Last May I was in California for an Army Reserve training exercise and I had five showers in 27 days and I thought I was going to die. It took me a week to get my scalp clean again because of so much oil and sweat build up from wearing a helmet pretty much all the time.

When we got to the hotel on the trip home, I must have taken a one hour shower and I still felt dirty. Two showers a day for me or I feel dirty.

QFT. Part of getting a haircut for me is the post-haircut shower.

a)short hair
b)no hair
c)pat it down, wet it slightly, brush back into place
d)just let it go :sneaky:

I have a (and a little of b on top ), but c does not work for me. I look terrible if I try d. Another reason why I shower in the am.

Every other to every other other day, in the morning.

If I do more than that, my skin and hair get dry. Your body adjusts to whatever your shower schedule may be. I kind of shudder at the thought of how much damage to my skin 3 showers a day would do. I guess I would adjust but how do you people work with your hands and whatnot taking that many showers? Doesn't handling cardboard or something + 3 showers a day = $%&#ed up hands?

You guys have to gel your hair everyday to keep it from getting frizzed out? lol. just lol.
