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.
Less than one a day. If I’m just hanging around the house I don’t bother. During the work week, once a day. If I’ve done something that works up a sweat and/or gets me dirty (yard work, cleaning the car, etc.) that gets a shower.
Damn, you work way too much. How do you even have time to post on Lemmy?
I shower around 0.5-0.75 times/day.
The biggest problem is the time I waste on public transport. My working hours are from 9am to 6pm.
Usually every other day, unless I’ve been for a run and then I’ll shower straight after but won’t bother washing my hair, it takes too long.
Every 1-3 days depending on if I go to the gym, temperature outside, if I need to look nice, or if ima even bother leaving the house lol
0.5 showers a day
Ah yes, the classic 7 showers every other Monday.
I shower every other day - four times a week.
If I go every other day I will be in the shower 4-5 times a week, is that over showering?
I typically shower for 60-90 minutes, I push my self and raise the temperature each week.

In this thread: People who do not grasp the intention of the question and focus on the semantics of a foreign lenguage being translated as best as possible for OP.
For this context alone: BATH = SHOWER
For all other times, yes they do mean different things.
Thanks, but it was my mistake. I’ve already edited the post.
You can edit titles on Lemmy too fyi
I’m from EU. Many years I took a shower every day, but that was bad for my skin. So I try to shower every two days now (=0.5). It’s not easy, because showers feel refreshing 😅
Are you sure it’s the shower that is bad for your skin? People use so much soaps and shampoos and they never think that those could be the problem.
I would reduce the use of those products if you are a heavy user. The ads have made people think they need chemicals to become clean when hot water is enough.
Yes, I am sure. If I don’t use at least mild shampoo and shower gel, my hair gets greasy and my skin oily, minutes after the shower. That causes even more problems.
Ok at least you are sure, that’s all I can ask. :)
Usually once per day
I often skip 1 day if i have no plans and just hang out at home. But never 2.
Living in Germany (so under normal circumstances not a very hot climate) i shower once a day except when going to the gym, doing hard manual labour and so on.
The interesting thing is: When i was a kid and young adult (so in the dark ages of the 80s to late 90s) i only showered once every 2 - 4 days and never smelled bad…
Once a day after work, weekends in the morning
Australia here so, it gets hot, couldn’t imagine going a day without showering
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.
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.
I would suspect a correlation more with climate. If it’s temperate, you don’t shower as much as when you’re hot and sweaty all the time.
Also, geothermal power exists.
I was gonna say with the prevelance of air conditioning. In warmer places that have ample water supply but little AC, i would expect more showers as people sweat throughout the day and don’t want to be stinky.
I shower once a day in the morning, but i almost never sweat because im almost always in the AC.
geothermal power exists.
Hot water is also a waste byproduct of nuclear power generation. There are whole towns that use nuclear heated water to warm their houses and for hot water. It’s used quite a bit in Russia and china already

Interesting! I didn’t know that, but it makes sense.
Average lemmy user
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.
I think anything more than one or two a day is considered unhealthy for your skin/hair.
Every other day, but sometimes more often depending on what I’ve been up to
Do you skip days for practical reasons or is it a personal choice? I don’t understand willingly not cleaning daily tbh.
It’s not good for your hair, you can wear a haircap, but most men wouldn’t.
Isn’t that the shampoo that’s the issue? It’s possible to shower/bathe without shampoo.
Shampoo makes it worse, by far. Depending on the shampoo, you should really only use it like once or twice a week, and that’s if you like shampoo. It’s pretty much optional, hence the new “no poo” movement.
Any old water will remove the healthy sebum oils that you want protecting your hair. Depending on the type of hair, and personal factors, you should only be washing your hair a couple times a week. Basically once it starts to feel dirty or unclean, wash it, otherwise leave it alone.
Water is really good at cleaning. People don’t realize that washing your hands with water alone will kill a lot of bacteria, and remove the vast majority of dirt and grime. Obviously please don’t give up soap… especially for your hands, just trying to illustrate how effective water is at removing things, even things it’s normally not known to mix very well with (oils).
Don’t worry, I have no intention of ceasing my soap usage.
They don’t really call it “no poo”? Silliest name possibly lmao
I’m already on the “shampoo every couple/few days as needed” train, but the keeping the hair entirely dry is admittedly new to me.
A bit of both. It dries out your skin to shower every day, and I honestly don’t feel like I need to shower every day with not-particularly-active lifestyle. Saves water and electric, as well, but not enough for that to be the reason why.
