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.

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.

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

I do once a week

Depends on the season. I will shower in the mornings and after my swim and again maybe before bed on a hot 40C January day. I might shower one in three on cold June winter holidays when I am home 24/7.

2-4. One longer one in the morning for cleaning myself. A 2-3 minute one when I workout or get sweaty. And a final short one before climbing into bed.

Sometimes I just decide I need to destress and take another 10-15 minute long one. If I have an easily accessible sauna at a knobs turn then you bet I'll be using it.

Usually one in the morning. Once in a while another one if I get too sweaty or dirty.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

In the hottest part of summer, morning and night, but the rest of the year is every day I work out or every other day.

1 before bed. If I’m trying to conserve water I might only do it on days I workout - so every other day before bed.

A shower every couple of days. I'm on well water in a pretty nasty drought so I try to save what water I can.

I take a shower in the morning if I work out, and I always take one at night. So like 1.5 times a day.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

Twice a day in summer, every other day in winter, once a day in spring and fall

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Since starting fall quarter of college, every day I have to go. And on Fridays if I have something like a doctor's appointment that day.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Shower once per day unless I get a haircut or am very sweaty.

[–] Acid@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Depends on the time of the year,

During the summer I’d have one before and after work, during winter once a day or once every two days

[–] ThatGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Once a day, I feel like trash if I even skip one day.

Tho honestly I often wonder if twice a day is optimal. I always feel great the few times I take it twice, but when I only take it once, I always wake up wanting to shower immediately to get the oil off.

[–] MooseBoys@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

On days I leave the house, I shower once in the morning. That used to be 5-6 times per week, but since COVID I’ve been working from home, so that number is 1-2. I’ll also shower after swimming or strenuous exercise, though that’s rare for me.

[–] Blake@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

At the moment, none, because I’m not able to - having to keep myself clean with basically just a basin and soap. Usually, somewhere between 0.25 and 0.5 a day. I don’t really get particularly dirty or sweaty. If I did get particularly dirty/sweaty then I’d just shower ASAP.
