How long is too long in the shower?

I don’t think I take very long showers but one of my roommates commented on it recently. I guess I’ve never really thought about it. What’s a normal shower for you?

5 minutes or less 1
5-10 minutes 6
10-15 minutes 4
15-20 minutes 10
20+ minutes 19

    I normally only shower like once a week. And it’s probably about ten minutes.

    Now I’ve been showering even more Bc my hormones are all over the fucking place. And if I go into labor tomorrow I’d like to be freshly showered.

    If I don't wash my hair, 5 mins. If I do 10 mins. Saves precious water out here in the West and gas too which just went through the roof.

        Yeah. We’re in what they’ve called a 1200 year drought.

    I usually just quickly wash my body, but when I really shower, I go for 10-15 minutes. Depends on how good my current playlist is.

    It depends on if I am showering alone or with my wife or when I was with past girlfriends.....

    I've had some really long showers with an appropriate lady... ;)

    My hair is past my butt so I don't take short showers.

    I shower daily. Takes about 10 minutes most days. 15-20 if I'm shaving my legs, 20+ if it's a leisure shower. My roommates and I have a group chat where we pop in and ask if it's cool if we shower in 5 mins. Helps so we can go pee or whatever before they shower.

    In areas without a water shortage, take how ever long you can afford. In areas with water shortages; 20 minutes at most.

    I probably spend about 20 minutes in the shower, but the majority of the time the water is off and I'm just cleaning myself with soap/shampoo. Plus I only shower once every two or three days, showering everyday is unnecessary.

    I don’t time my showers.

    Takes me about 30 minutes, I think it depends on a few factors. I take longer because I am a bigger person and I have long hair, so there's more to wash. I also often shave in the shower. If I'm in a rush usually I'll skip the shave and only pay attention to the most important parts to clean, and going fast as I can I can probably finish a shower in about 15 mins, maybe 10 on a good day. I'd assume the time is shorter if you are a smaller person and/or your hair is short.

    You'll know you've been in the shower too long when your butt goes as wrinkly as your fingertips.

    1 hour is too long, it would get to a point where one will be impatient and then start knocking on the bathroom door.

    For me a normal shower takes me around 5-10 mins.

      I don't shower for hygiene purposes alone, but for relaxation as well. And let me admit, I usually take about an hour in the shower.

      I'm really never under pressure from anyone to rush my showers since I live alone 🙂
