How long do you stay on your bathroom?

On average these are my timings
- working days: 20 minutes
- ordinary days: 45 minutes
- special occasions: 1 hour

My husband quickest time in the shower is 3 minutes, longest is 8.

It is not heated, and usually about 8C, so I don't stop too long. Have to get out before the uncontrollable shivering sets in. :freezin:

Brr ... I'm not surprised :NoNo: ... I rarely spend much time in the :Shower: either - as I've always had a tendency to prefer a nice hot, relaxing bath.

:xxgrinning--00xx3: agree. Still wondering how men managed a minute or 5 shower. It's only a warm up for us :icon_lol:

Funny that!, the local water company just fitted a water meter and left an egg timer you stick on the wall to time yourself in the shower. Only 4 minutes!!! looks like my water bills will be going up.

what do you do for an hour :Erm:

One hour or so is normal for ladies. However, men staying longer than 5 minutes in the shower means something else:sexy_146: :icon_lol::icon_lol:

Staying 1 hour in the shower doesn't mean that water is running the whole 60 minutes. On my case, i spend 10 minutes on body scrubbing and 15-30 minutes waiting time for my conditioner to settle on my hair. Btw, I'm not using shampoo at all so I can still save some time:biggrin:

Hahahaha..we do the same thing vernier :xxgrinning--00xx3:...30 mins are spent on my hair (shampoo and conditioner) and the rest is for body scrubbing, washing face and sometimes cutting nails of my fingers..hahahaha :biggrin: it takes more time if my mind wonders if i'm sulking..haha :icon_lol:

I hate baths and haven't had one since September.





But then that could be because I had my bathroom ripped out in September and had a new one fitted and did away with the bath opting for a shower instead (no room for a bath as well) I have always preferred a shower to a bath as I hate laying in my own dirty water in a bath.

To answer the question, 5 minutes for a shower and 5 to shave 2-3 times a week

Ahem, I would just like to point out that in 5-8 minutes I wet/lather/rinse/have a good soak in the hot water, and even sometimes shampoo. I also don't have a golden mane of beautiful hair which takes agres to wet/lather/rinse. My showers at Roses's house in the Philippines are somewhat shorter, probably something to do with no hot water :yikes:

We haven't used the bath since moving into this house last summer. Last time it was used was my Brother cleaning his motorcycle clothes! I do think baths are ideal for children so would never rip one out of a house and only just have a shower in the bathroom.

I have a shower everyday and a bath once a week, I prefer a bath, for anyone to take longer than ten minutes having a shower and washing hair excluding cutting nails ect as that doesn't count because thats not having a shower they must be really dirty! :biggrin:

What a strange conversation but to join in the lathering fun I rarely bath and have showers all the time.
When I'm away for work I usually take the peace to have a bath.

At home it's a case of as quick as possible as I'm usually in a rush.

I take a shower once a month, whether I need one or not. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I always get asked how come I look so youthful.
What's the secret?

Simply not washing away those natural oils from my skin :biggrin:

interesting to read what other people are doing inside the bathroom:icon_rolleyes:. well i dont take hours inside the shower i dont like to get wet for a long time, i only take about 20 - 30mins (not to mention the time i do my daily skincare routine, deciding what to wear,after shower haircare and doing my makeup :biggrin:) my husband takes about 3mins so whenever we plan to go out he always finish first than me so he always moans when i don't get ready as soon as he's done.

Japanese style is favourite for us both.
A shower and scrub followed by a relaxing but very very hot bath.

Good for body, soul and mind:xxgrinning--00xx3:
