    usually when I am not pregnant I shower twice a day, once in the morning and once early evening before getting into jimmyjams :o
    since being pregnant I have had this obsession with hot baths and bubbles (eating soap lol) so have been bathing twice a day for a good 2 hours :eek: i feel like I have turned into a prune :rotfl:

    I was the same when I was pregnant :rotfl:My real obsession was cleaning the toilet then having to get in the bath immediately afterwards was the excuse I used to make myself clean again. I was a bit obsessed with a certain bubble bath but now I can't remember which one :o

    Sometimes I didnt feel like a shower as its been so cold! I did miss one day in Dec I will be honest;)

    I think it varies so much, some shower twice a day to some washing every other day, I wish I could wash my hair everyday as well as shower but its too thick and takes forever to dry even with blow drying.

    We don't have a shower yet so have to have baths. I have one every Monday to Friday without fail, but often at weekends I don't bother on Sundays if I'm not going out anywhere.

    Bath every day. I would shower if only we actually had one - when we move we are definitely buying somewhere with a shower!

    I usually shower twice a day, or bath occasionally, very occasionally strip wash. Mainly though because I get covered in mud and deal with animals...so I smell a lot and get dirty if uncleaned.

    However, I think its perfectly acceptable, more environmentally friendly and need neither be smelly nor unhygienic to shower less often than daily.

    I shower every morning I couldnt go without washing, in the summer I have more showers during the day but just quick ones with no soap to was sweat off and cool down, in the winter I like to soak in hot bath, but a day without washing no way.
  • I love the sunday's when we don't wash...it almost feels liberting. OH will say to me "you getting a wash stink" and I'll say "No are you?" and he'll say "nope" and we'll both laugh

    (I think I need to get out more!)

  • I have a bath everyday - I really don't have showers very often, mainly in summer or when I am in a rush. :)
