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.

Twice. I am not a healthy human so I try and play on the cleaner side of life because getting sick is kinda easy and sucks a little extra like that.

Environmental guilt keeps them at seven minutes each average (yeah, I timed them. I don't even remember why, but that guilt seems viable enough)

Occasionally when the youtube hits just right the night time shower can be 15 minutes. Or it is complex grooming day and not just a shave or something.

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.

[–] Fubar91@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Shower once a day. Sometimes I'll skip a day if I didn't do a lot or get really sweaty.

[–] pacoboyd@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] MooseBoys@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] tym@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm an oily mofo. 2 a day minimum. I love my shower time!

[–] Blake@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Like .8 on average I'd guess?

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years 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 2 years 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.

[–] the_lone_wolf@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I take a shower in the morning if I work out, and I always take one at night. So like 1.5 times a day.

[–] Acid@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago

Depends on the time of the year,

During the summer I’d have one before and after work, during winter once a day or once every two days

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] Phantom_Engineer@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Every other day, but sometimes more often depending on what I've been up to

I live on an island in the Mediterranean sea where it's really hot so I shower at least once a day and usually before I go to bed. When I used to live in Manchester I would shower every other day

[–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Baths? Zero. Can't remember the last year I laid in a tub. Not even sure the last decade.

How often do to clean my body? Daily, via a shower. If it's a day off I might skip a day.

[–] Ubettawerk@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Every day before bed. If I exercise earlier in the day then I’ll shower twice.

I shower twice a day and my friends said they only shower once a day (I have to wonder if it's due to their conditioners and perfumes)

the times I've switched to showering once a day or every other day is when there was water shortages and droughts happening here

plus I like my showers to destress after a long day :)

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

One. Maybe one every other day depending on what I'm doing.

Once in a while twice in a day again depending on what I'm doing.
