How many showers do you take a day?
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.
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
Taking multiple baths a day can dry out your skin really quickly, you need to take one a day, at most. Even so, the areas that need to be washed daily are your pits, face, feet and groin. You could get away with a "whores bath" (washing just those 4 parts with a soapy rag) most days and a full bath every few days.
The exception being if you sweat a lot or have a dirty job of course.
[For the sake of other commenters: OP likely meant washing oneself, regardless of immersion bath or not. It's just that Portuguese "banho" can mean both "shower" and "bath".]
From 4 to 12 times a week. If it's mid-winter and I spent the whole day working (from home, no heavy labour), I might skip a shower day, never two in a row because that's nasty. If it's hot I'll probably take a proper/cleaning shower every morning, plus a quick shower around 18:00. (I'm from Paraná.)
One shower every two days. No baths.
one every few days
Two or three showers... a week
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.
I have a shower every morning, first thing, will only skip a morning shower on the rare day in just laying about the house.
Will have a second shower only if I've been doing something sweaty/dirty like mowing or bush walking.
Edit: Worth adding that in an Aussie, not in a humid or overly hot location and don't have a physical job.
Usually once per day
I often skip 1 day if i have no plans and just hang out at home. But never 2.
One, but I do take it every day.
My scalp gets too oily and I develop pimples in no time if I don't wash my hair.
It really sucks, my partner can go without a shower multiple days and still look awesome. No, I'm not jealous... kinda..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.
Unless I'm doing yard work or similar, I will shower every other day, sometimes 2 days. My skin gets unbearably dry and itchy if I shower more often.

Once a day usually, not always. Sometimes a little less but when it’s really hot outside I take 2. If I was living in Brasil, I’d take 2.
I think anything more than one or two a day is considered unhealthy for your skin/hair.
It depends on the weather, how active I've been, how presentable I need to look for something, etc.
Normally I can skip a day, sometimes two, between showers. I don't live a super active life, and I shave my head so don't really have to worry about my hair getting greasy and gross.
If I'm having a more active day or it's hot out I'm probably showering every day, and depending on what's on my schedule for the day and what I get up to in between I may end up showering 2 or 3 times.
In the winter months a shower every night. Sometimes I skip a night if I’m lazy or I’ve stayed home all day.
In the summer I will maybe take 2-3. One is a proper shower. The two or three are quick 20 second cold water rinse to cool myself down. Helps to have one right before bed on a hot night.
A typical week is either 6 or 7 showers (UK)
Unless I'm at a festival
0.5 too point 0.2
Normally one but it's worth pointing out I don't live in a warm country, it's freezing here. I am not a morning person so I tend to take showers in the evening because I just can't be bothered in the morning, again because it's cold I don't really want to get undressed and get wet.
On average, once a day. I had two today, one in the morning, and one after my evening workout, but I won't take one tomorrow.
There are occasionally days where I end up taking two. It's usually because of a long bike ride in the morning and showering, then going out for lunch or errands, then mowing the yard in the afternoon.
1 + 1 after heavy exercise
In winter I might skip a day here or there, as it can help dry skin.
I used to do it right before work so I was nice and fresh for work, no I'm wfh and I do it after I finish work as an end of day barrier.
Once a day after work, weekends in the morning
Australia here so, it gets hot, couldn’t imagine going a day without showering
US here. I can't remember the last time I had a bath. I'm very tall, so I don't fit into tubs easily. My dream is to add a giant whirlpool tub to my home, so I can actually lounge and stretch out in the tub.
As far as showers go (which was OP's original intent), I shower once a day, when I first wake up. My body produces natural oils faster than most people, so I need a daily shower to keep them at bay. I feel really gross if I skip a day.
My wife, on the other hand, showers once every other day. She says her skin and hair dry out when she showers daily, so she needs the break. She gets split ends in her hair easily.
We're actually both retired at the moment, so we don't have to get up and go anywhere first thing in the morning. So I need to remind my wife to shower every few days. If not, she'll easily go 3-4 days without it, and then she becomes a "swamp monster." (Her words, not mine)
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.
Depends, since I worked from home it tends to be every other day or third day. Kind of a bad habit but when you live alone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One after the gym around 8:30 a.m.; another at 11 p.m.
I shower once every 2 days or if I am sweaty.
Typically once every other day, depending. I spend most of my average work week inside at home, and my very thin hair responds much better when I only wash it every 2-3 days. If I'm going out or otherwise get dirty/smelly, it's cleaning time regardless.
every season except summer i shower once per day in the morning, unless i'm going to a party or something, then i'll take another before that
in summer i shower twice per day, sometimes 3, just to get the sweat off
i don't deal with heat well lolWhen I was younger and much more active, I was a shower every day person. Now that I’m older, I find every other day or three to be good for my skin. I’ve always had a very ruddy complexion, but I’ve figured out that on days I don’t shower, my skin looks its best. So I try to go as long as I can before my armpits start smelling. When I first started skipping days, my scalp would get oily quick, but now my second day hair is pretty nice too (probably also thanks to going with a silicon free conditioner). Basically I just try to shower when I smell or have been sweaty.
I'm an oily mofo. 2 a day minimum. I love my shower time!
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.
Once in the morning and anytime after doing something that makes me sweat.
One a day in the winter, I try and time it for after I work out, otherwise it ends up being two showers, same if I have to do a lot of jobs round the house.
Two a day in the summer with the second shower being cold/cool water at night before bed. There is zero chance I want to get into a clean bed being all sticky and sweaty, and zero chance I go anywhere in the morning without a shower.
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.
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.
Shower once a day. Sometimes I'll skip a day if I didn't do a lot or get really sweaty.
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.
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.
Usually one in the morning. Once in a while another one if I get too sweaty or dirty.
I do once a week
Like .8 on average I'd guess?
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.
-
When I wake, I treat it like a sailor shower. The goal is quickly becoming clean.
-
Before bed, a Hollywood style shower. It’s hot water all the way, the goal is mostly to relax but cleaning is also a factor.
3.(optional) If I’m at home and I take particularly gnarly shit I just take a shower. It’s easier and feels better.
-
I take one shower per day.
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.
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.
Shower once per day unless I get a haircut or am very sweaty.
One morning shower but we don't have hot climate here.
Twice a day in summer, every other day in winter, once a day in spring and fall
1 in the summer. 1 every other day (or so) in the winter.
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.
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
Two at minimum, one in the morning, one at night. If I am nasty and gross from doing something, more.
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.
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.
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.
Twice a day normally. 1 morning, 1 after work if im dirty, sweaty or stinky.
I take 4 showers per day if i am going out for work and if i stay at home only 2, morning and in night and before going to bed.
I live on an island in the Mediterranean sea where it's really hot so I shower at least once a day and usually before I go to bed. When I used to live in Manchester I would shower every other day
Every day before bed. If I exercise earlier in the day then I’ll shower twice.
I shower twice a day and my friends said they only shower once a day (I have to wonder if it's due to their conditioners and perfumes)
the times I've switched to showering once a day or every other day is when there was water shortages and droughts happening here
plus I like my showers to destress after a long day :)
Baths? Zero. Can't remember the last year I laid in a tub. Not even sure the last decade.
How often do to clean my body? Daily, via a shower. If it's a day off I might skip a day.
<1, but growing up i used to sit in the bath for ages, it was my only truly private spot in the house
One. Maybe one every other day depending on what I'm doing.
Once in a while twice in a day again depending on what I'm doing.
Typically once every other day, depending. I spend most of my average work week inside at home, and my very thin hair responds much better when I only wash it every 2-3 days. If I'm going out or otherwise get dirty/smelly, it's cleaning time regardless.
Once a day during the work week- maybe less if I'm feeling too tired when I get back home. Two to three baths a day on weekends. I'll toss some bubbles or salt in there to spice things up about once a week.
Showers are a bourgeois invention meant to rob the proletariat of what few moments of respite they have. Even your hygiene must be performed as quickly as possible so you can return to work. Get yourself hosed down like the cattle you are. Relaxation is only for real people.
