so damn hard to get into the shower

Post Reply New Topic

I shower twice a day everyday without fail, the only problem I have with showers is that I hate having to dry myself afterwards.

I have trouble getting myself in the shower too. What I do is get out a change of clothes and a towel and a washcloth and put them on my bed. Then I wait a bit - a few minutes, many an hour or two - and then I get in the shower. It's easier for me if I do things in steps like that. I also have many nice smelling soaps from Bath & Body Works, so that helps.

I don't shower everyday, just when I feel like I need it. I don't smell or anything and no one can tell
by looking at me or smelling me that I only shower about three or four times a week.

i take a bath every other day. no need to smell good all the time, plus im lazy it takes to much effort to get clean everyday

That's what I do. Gather the needed items bit by bit, as I gravitate haltingly, working up to it.

Same here-I don't physically do much, so I rarely get sweaty-unless I have to make a phone call (or leave the house!). In hot weather (couple months of summer) I do shower more than once a day-but those are special circumstances, in order to cool down (don't have A/C). I procrastinate taking a shower, I bargain with myself about what order to do things.

I never feel clean enough, the second I turn the water off I've already started on the road to getting dirty again & being in need of a shower. This is especially so during my period & humid weather. Just seems so futile, trying to keep up with constant maintaining/cleaning.

Takes me a half hour, too. I've long hair (which is very snarly & tangly, despite conditioners) which adds a lot of extra effort to the process.
The transition between being in & out is the worst, it's like swimming. Don't want to get in (which involves removal of clothing & being cold). Then don't want to get out (because then one's naked & freezing & sopping wet). Feel nice & warm during the immersion in water, but afterwards my skin feels all tight & icky, and having to use lotion for relief is icky as well.

I have the problem every day, too. Sometimes I don't have a shower until 5pm, thats how bad it is. Once i'm in it's fine. Getting in is the problem.

All those people who complain that baths don't get you clean, don't understand soap. Soap is an emulsifier. It causes dirt that has come off of you to stay in the water and not go back on to you. Of course if you have hard water you might have to deal with a soap scum problem, but that is a separate issue that can be handled. Baths do get you clean when done with proper soap and water !

I just had a terrible idea for a new thread: Shower with a Random Member

well i am taking a bathtoday after three days i really need it. its a good thing im the only one who lives in my room haha

I have to take a shower, at least once a day. There's no way around it, as I need to wear adult pull-ups. I like to be around people, all the time, so I need to smell fresh.

you wear diapers mrs rebel?

I have a shower or a bath once every 2-4 days. I just don't have the energy to shower everyday.

Showering every morning has become part of my routine, it helps to wake me up.
