Poll question: Just how many showers a day are too many?

1. If you time it just right....
You can get two or three.....

Depending on how much your partner sweats......

4. I think more than two would probably dry out your skin too much.
I've been known to take a morning shower and another in the evening, or a shower in the morning and a bath in the evening. Usually I stick to one a day, but if I worked out (or repotted flowers) and got full of sweat, I'd want to clean up.

5. Two at most
One in the morning, a second after a workout. (Although I did treat myself to a lovely bubble bath last night!)

7. One in the morning is enough
for me.....

And if I go to the gym, then I take it after that...

Too bad if I smell at the gym....haven't had any complaints, though...

I don't really enjoy being wet, so one a day is more than enough for me....

I know, TMI!

:silly:

17. That will certainly work, my dear Joan!
I always go after breakfast...so you can stay home, read the paper if you want, have some more coffee...

While I go try to work off all these damn fat cells!

:hi:

9. as many as four or five will work
I usually stick to one, sometimes two nowadays, but when I start going back to school and working out again, I'd say I'll shower maybe three times a day. In the morning, after workout, then either when I get home or before bed. Just to rinse off and kick back on that last one.

I used to shower four or five times a day easy, though. I'm OCD. I wash my hands constantly. Although, I have no problem wearing a shirt a few times or something like that. I just have to wash my hands and feel clean all the time. I force myself not to shower, now it's not so bad though. One or two a day is good for me.

12. You don't want to shower too much, it dries out your skin
your hair, washes off a fair amount of the oils that keep your skin healthy and supple and in general destroys as much good stuff as it does bad stuff.

I tend to shower once a day for hygiene sake and then, if I've been exercising or it's hot out, I just take a 5 minute soapless rinse to get the 'sticky' off.

15. If you're OCD than anything less then 43 a day is OK.
Otherwise you may appear deranged.
