Spouse, family and friends have recently been discussing the bathing/showering habits we have, so I'd like to know what your bathing habits are.

Spouse and I shower and in the morning when we get up, and then again in the evening before we go to bed. We may even put an extra one in there if we work hard in the yard during the day or otherwise get dirty.

How about all of you out there in Folsom Forum land? We're just curious. We were surprised to find that a lot of our family members and friends shower only once a day and some even less than that.

When I had my surgeries I couldn't bathe in total for about 25 days. Man, did I reek!

My husband averages a morning shower and usually a bath or another shower at the end of each day. He LOVES hot water.

I shower about five times a week in the mornings. So, yeah, there are a couple of times a week where I don't shower. Then if I work out and get really sweaty, I'll shower when I return. Sometimes I'll take a nice long bubble bath instead of a shower.

Showering multiple times a day is very tough on your skin and hair. With my dry skin, I totally notice it when I shower too frequently.

Definitely in the morning and if possible in the evening too

Always at night before bed and then sometimes in the mornig if I need to wake up!

You guys are all using too much water. Haven't you heard there's a drought?

I think we've had this discussion before. As I recall, it got kind of heated!

I shower every morning. Sometimes I take a bath at night, too. Rationally, I know that a daily shower is not necessary and may even be undesirable for your skin. In Europe, almost no one showers/bathes daily. --But, I just like a morning shower.

I have a different approach with the kids. Since I know a daily shower/bath is not necessary, I don't require it. They get a bath every 2-3 days, or whenever they start to look, er, less than lovely.

I think taking baths is a lost art in America. I guess everyone finds a shower just more efficient than a bath.

Once a day in the morning. If I am going out, or exercise, I'll shower again. I am not a bath-taker. The thought of sitting in your own filth disgusts me. When I do take a bath, I shower, too.

I usually only shower once daily. I make sure I do all workouts, housework, etc., first thing in the morning, so I am good to go for the rest of the day after my shower. My husband, on the other hand, can shower up to three times a day. He even takes a shower right before bed, wakes up six or seven hours later and takes another before work. Whatever.

I do let my kids skip days, just depending on how dirty they get. During the summer, I love the pool. I just have the kids take a quick swim before bedtime...just as good as a bath in my opinion.

Night, only showering in the morning doesn't make sense. You dirty up throughout the day, climb into a clean bed. Wake up, shower. So now you are clean, but the bed is dirty. Repeat, and the bed gets dirtier each day. Whereas, shower at night, the bed stays clean.

I shower every morning and on karate nights or nights that I exercise, I also shower. Other than that, just if I feel dirty for some reason- that mainly happens in the summer on hot, sticky or muggy days- it's nice to get cooled down before bed with a cold or cool shower.

I shower after I have worked hard in the yard, and when I get a ccomplaint or suggestion from my family. It takes too much time to do it on a regular basis.

we better hope the city council forks don't get wind of this survey or they will pass a shower ordnance. this is not a good time for excess showing because they still need water before they can turn the develpers loose on that south of 50 land.

[Chad Vander Veen]

once at night, usually. anymore i my skin gets too dry
