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.

Once. If I bathe twice in one day, my skin will dry out.

I live in Florida. I shower once a day in the evenings.

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

same! i have to shower right before bed or the stickiness of my thighs to the sheets will bug me enough to prevent me from falling asleep.

[-] LongPigFlavor@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, I work in a warehouse. It's pretty dusty in there. I don't want all of the dirt and grime to end up in my bed.

[-] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 5 points 10 months ago

In the winter, probably once a week. Unless I do something strenuous, then it would be once I get back home

Summer time, mostly daily.

[-] saigot@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

1 + 1 after heavy exercise

In winter I might skip a day here or there, as it can help dry skin.

I used to do it right before work so I was nice and fresh for work, no I'm wfh and I do it after I finish work as an end of day barrier.

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 5 points 10 months ago

Wow um zero? I don’t really take baths at all. Shower maybe a few times a week but no real schedule, just when I feel dirty. That could be once a week or it could be 3x in one day. Just depends how dirty I get.

[-] Nightsoul@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Depends, since I worked from home it tends to be every other day or third day. Kind of a bad habit but when you live alone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] Nihilore@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Once a day after work, weekends in the morning

Australia here so, it gets hot, couldn’t imagine going a day without showering

[-] alokir@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Once a day before going to bed. I work in an office with AC, but if I did physical labor I'd probably also shower as soon as I got home.

On hot summer nights I also shower in the morning before going to work.

[-] Moghul@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I'm also an evening showerer. I don't know how people navigate the world all day, participate in traffic, be in dusty wind, cook, etc and then get in their bed and sleep comfortably.

[-] Phantom_Engineer@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

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

I shower once every 2 days or if I am sweaty.

[-] Wage_slave@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] kariboka@bolha.forum 3 points 10 months ago

Take your showers as you please. It is not you but corporations that are destroying water sources.

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

[-] bl00dmeat@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

Typically once every other day, depending. I spend most of my average work week inside at home, and my very thin hair responds much better when I only wash it every 2-3 days. If I'm going out or otherwise get dirty/smelly, it's cleaning time regardless.

[-] Pratai@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

I think anything more than one or two a day is considered unhealthy for your skin/hair.

[-] xigoi 4 points 10 months ago

I shower once per day in the evening, except when I come home very late because of a party or something.

US here. I can't remember the last time I had a bath. I'm very tall, so I don't fit into tubs easily. My dream is to add a giant whirlpool tub to my home, so I can actually lounge and stretch out in the tub.

As far as showers go (which was OP's original intent), I shower once a day, when I first wake up. My body produces natural oils faster than most people, so I need a daily shower to keep them at bay. I feel really gross if I skip a day.

My wife, on the other hand, showers once every other day. She says her skin and hair dry out when she showers daily, so she needs the break. She gets split ends in her hair easily.

We're actually both retired at the moment, so we don't have to get up and go anywhere first thing in the morning. So I need to remind my wife to shower every few days. If not, she'll easily go 3-4 days without it, and then she becomes a "swamp monster." (Her words, not mine)

[-] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Once a week, whether I need it or not.

It would be interesting to see how shower use correlates with water temperature. It feels like that correlation would be negative and usage of showers is premised on the existence of cheap energy, AKA fossil fuels.

every season except summer i shower once per day in the morning, unless i'm going to a party or something, then i'll take another before that
in summer i shower twice per day, sometimes 3, just to get the sweat off
i don't deal with heat well lol

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Florida here.

Once a day in the evening, unless I really get sweaty in the day (yardwork or hot yoga) then twice but soap (not everywhere) once a day, shampoo about twice a week, but rinse, conditioner, and restyle hair most days.

Husband washes like OP, in the morning before work and in the evening too. It's hot here.

[-] Yaref@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

I do once a week

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Krakova@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

When I was younger and much more active, I was a shower every day person. Now that I’m older, I find every other day or three to be good for my skin. I’ve always had a very ruddy complexion, but I’ve figured out that on days I don’t shower, my skin looks its best. So I try to go as long as I can before my armpits start smelling. When I first started skipping days, my scalp would get oily quick, but now my second day hair is pretty nice too (probably also thanks to going with a silicon free conditioner). Basically I just try to shower when I smell or have been sweaty.

[-] dom@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

Two a day. Sometimes 3 if I have an evening event.

I also go in our hot tub almost every night.

The second shower is usually more of a rinse unless it was a long/sweaty day

Since I've moved from a coast to a more inland city, a lot less. It sounds gross, but I'm down to once every other day. I don't sweat as much, my clothes don't stink as much, and I don't feel as 'swampy' as I used to. Also if I shower everyday here my skin goes bananas dry.
