Shower Time - April 5th 2011, 02:46 AM

This past year I've cut down on how long I spend in the shower. I used to take forever, now its 15-20 minutes, but I feel like that's still a really long time.

Does anyone else take that long to shower? Or is it less?

Re: Shower Time - April 5th 2011, 02:56 AM

It depends what I need to do in the shower. If I need to shave my legs or elsewhere then I can be in the shower for up to an hour. However if it's just a case of shampoo, conditioner, body wash then ill only take 15-20 mins. Don't worry the time you stated is probably about average time for most people.

Yep. The time for me depends on if I have to shave my legs or elsewhere, then I'd take about an hour. I usually take up to 15-20 when I'm just using shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Your normal, hun!

I take about 20-25 minutes in the shower, so I don't really think that 15-20 isn't a reasonable amount. I would also say that's probably about average.

Um I'm about 5 - 10 minutes usually. 15 at the most if I'm shaving and washing my hair or trying to get paint off myself (I'm an artist ) but that;s rarely, only about once a week.

10-15 minutes I think. I'm not really sure, but I don't waste alot of time. I still don't have a lot of hair to worry with. Longer if I need to shave my legs.

I'm super lightening fast in the shower. If I'm not washing my hair it'll take ~5 minutes. If I'm washing my hair it'll take ~10 minutes

Re: Shower Time - April 5th 2011, 04:49 PM

15-20 mins is quite standard for me. Longer if I shave my legs but I turn the water off if I'm shaving my legs. Also I turn the water off after I've shampood because I'll put my conditioner in, then lather my whole body, and then turn the water on again to rinse. Every little helps!

Although to counteract that when hungover I've been known to sit down and fall asleep in the shower with the water just running over me.. ha

I used to take forever too! But I used to masturbate in the shower. xD LOL.
However, my baths are longer now because I masturbate in there sometimes instead, but my baths still take about an hour or a little over, depending on how long I decide to read in there. I actually used to take alot longer in there, too. I don't know how my time got cut down. I didn't even plan it. Weird...

It usually takes me about 15-20 minutes which seems to be pretty average on this thread.

I wouldn't worry about how long of showers you take.
Showers are relaxing, so it's not a bad thing. (:

It depends I take like a 15-20 minute shower if I don't shave, but if I do shave it's about 40-45 minutes. I'm usually the one to run the hot water out. So sometimes my dad has to wait like 20-30 mins to take his shower but he is really fast.

I can take anywhere from 10 mins to an hour. I'm not economically friendly...the shower is nice and warm so I like to sit and reflect on stuff. On the floor. It sounds better than it is, trust me

Re: Shower Time - April 6th 2011, 10:26 AM

If I'm washing my hair it takes me 15-25 mins, but since I wash my hair like every day...it's a daily thing. If I have to shave AND wash my hair, it could take me around 30-45mins. But on the days when I don't wash my hair/don't have to shave, it can take me 5-10mins if it's not cold and I can tear myself away from the super hot water. I suppose it really depends on what I have to do/how long I have. So I'd say 15-20 mins is perfectly normal.
