Personal Hygiene

[exball]

I just love being in the shower. The warmness of the water, being alone with your thoughts, that feeling of cleanliness after the shower is over. It's a feeling that can't be compared.

Question: am I the only person who brushes my teeth in the shower? Husbando thinks it's weird.

I do this. Baring teeth at the shower stream to rinse after brushing them feels really fucking thoroughly clean.

There's a fountain near where I live and if I get there early, I can carry out my business with relative ease.

If the campus security walk by or if a jogger phones the police, my shower time is effectively cut short.

 

[Lefty's Revenge]

Speaking of weird shower habits, I've heard that some people piss in the shower drain rather than the toilet to save water from flushing the toilet.

I used to do that but not because saving water but because I was a teenager and too lazy to get back out of the fucking shower and not live like a savage.

Anyone else put talc powder to their nutsack in the summer? You haven't lived until you tried it.

I always shower in the mornings - sometimes also at night if it's been a long day. Anyway, the morning piss is always going to be a bit aromatic, from having festered for 7 hours, and the hot water's going to turn that in to some kind of piss sauna. Tried it once, and decided pretty quickly that there are more pleasant ways to conserve water. I'd rate pissing on the neighbour's dog as being more pleasant than bathing in the aroma of red ale piss.

Fun story #1

Incidentally, I was once in a sauna when some bright spark thought it'd be hilarious to piss on the coals. Don't ever let that happen - they had to damn near fumigate the place to remove the stench.

Fun story #2

I once slept in on the morning of a transatlantic flight, which was overall going to see me travelling for 14 odd hours. Taxi at the door, so it was straight out of bed, get dressed, and run downstairs. It was during this trip I decided to try the "trailer park shower": wet wipes. Absolutely bloody miracle - bought two packets and headed to the airport toilets. You just need to wash the stinky areas, and your face and neck, and you'll feel fresh as a daisy. This is why I always carry a pack of those things for long journeys.

How do people shower at night and go to the school the next morning without feeling dirty, or tired? I can't go anywhere without showering in the morning. Makes me feel alive lol.

I usually bathe at night. I don't wanna crawl into my bed all dirty and then wallow in that filth all night while I sleep.
Different strokes for different folks?

I suppose, the only nights I'll shower will be hot ones. And even then, I still shower in the morning. It's pretty much a habit,

I use stuff called Fresh Balls which is really really good. It's a cream that turns to powder as you rub it on your balls

I can't.

I shower when I wake up, then again before I go to bed.

If I work out and have to go out again, I will shower thoroughly.

I can't imagine how people who shower/bathe just in the morning can sleep being all grimey.

My personal hygiene routine along with cleaning habits is probably enough to get me an OCD diagnosis.

 

[Mourning Dove]

For whoever lives in California, I feel bad for you. Does the current drought and residential water restrictions mean degraded personal hygiene?

 

[Teddy]

I live in Cali. we all know we should cut down our water usage, or so I hope, but I still know people who take 1 HOUR showers, keep the water running when brushing teeth (guilty), and water their lawns every damn day. It's hard for some of us to take sacrifices.


Some people use the drought as an excuse to live like unkempt dogs. The extreme hippie types.

 

[Hi I Am From Page 6]

Shower every day unless I know I won't have to go out among people the next day.
DEFINITELY shower every day in summer.
Wash my hair daily in summer, ~every 2 days in the cooler months.
Brush my teeth twice daily, floss when I remember, and guess who is the only person in their family who has never had a cavity?

My hygiene:

- When it comes to showers, I either do so before bed or after I wake up, depending if I showered at least 12 hours before hand. I also shower after running or doing a long, exhausting exercise. I'll go no longer than a day without taking a shower. I ALWAYS shower if I applied gel in my hair earlier in the day. On average, I shower 1-2 times per day.
- I brush my teeth at least twice a day between 1 - 2 minutes before flossing. Sometimes I whip out the mouthwash.
- I shave my face every few days, either trimming my facial hair or just plain shaving it. I like to change my facial hair every few weeks.
- After showering, I always brush my hair before and after I put on a shirt.
- Sometimes I shave the hair on my chest and armpits so I don't feel like a caveman.
- I wash my hands a lot. They dry out in the winter, along with my skin.
- If my face feels greasy, I always wipe it down with either baby wipes or just clean toilet paper or a paper towel, dampened with water, then dried with a towel.
- Toothpicks are my best friend after I eat.

I generally shower only every other day. That's gross apparently, but my hair is nicer and shinier than it was when I showered every day, so yeah works for me. (I have oily hair, so washing it daily dries it out which leads your hair to compensate with even more oil. Or something.) I don't use conditioner either.

 

[Mourning Dove]

Whenever I shave or condition my hair in the shower, I turn the water off. That way it won't wash away the conditioner or shaving stuff. And it also saves water.

Kansas also has a drought problem like California (especially western Kansas), but unfortunately I think we are in deep denial about it. We need all that water for intensive agriculture, you know!

 

[Arkangel]

I shower in the morning before class or work, I brush my teeth twice a day usually, and I wash my bedsheets twice a week. I also use unscented soaps and deoderants.

I trim my beard every few days and try to get a haircut very frequently.

On days when i dont shower, such as when i have a day off and dont have to do anything that requires me to leave my home, I at least try to wash my face.
