When you get up in the morning, how do you take your shower or bath?

I always take a hot shower, hard spray. Though it’s not scented as you would a bath, I use a lot of scented products: shower gel, shaving gel, scrub, bath oil, and the like. No music or singing. I’m very much awake by then and very much in a hurry because I’m always running late and have no time for luxuries, just the basics that allow me to get out of the door decently. I don’t totally close—much less lock—my bathroom door because my dog starts scratching it if I do.

Bath at night, with bubbles or whatever and usually a book. Door open because the dogs like to be on the floor nearby. Shower in the morning, hot, and hard spray. No singing for either endeavor . . .

Just about to burn sort of hot.

Hard but not too hard so that it doesn’t hurt me or splash off my head in all directions.

Non scented but my shower gel has a nice smell.

Not too quickly, I like to take my time.

Definitely loud music and lots of singing.

In the morning I definitely doze of quite a bit, I like to close my eyes and feel the water drip off my face and just pretend I’m sleeping again.

No locking required, I trust my sister not to come in.

I take a warm shower just this side of comfortable. The spray is not all that hard. I have a routine and try to get through it quickly. I do not sing or listen to music in the shower, The bathroom door is not locked. It’s the only one so if my honey has to pee, he still can.

I’m a warmth monger. I have this cool little miniature heater that I put on and my bathroom then heats up to about 110 degrees in 3 minutes. haha
I then take an equally hot shower, loll about, wash my body and hair, shave if needed, get out and casually take my time basking in the coziness while I dry off and comb out my hair.

With lava

Lurve to @Kayak8 for letting the dogs in!!!

Hot shower. Definately. Although the dogs might be an interesting twist.

Quick cold shower, go running, quick hot shower followed by a longer cold shower – I use a lot of water.

I take a very quick shower after I exercise. I get wet with warm water and quickly turn off the shower and soap downed. Then I turn the shower on to wash off the soap. It takes about 3 minutes of less.

I’m going to go sit in the rain in my hot tub in another hour.
Tonights bedtime bathing. haha

Very hot shower. Fifteen minutes or so. Often singing.

Depends on the season. Always a shower in the morning. In summer, tepid with fairly hard water pressure. In winter, hot with fairly hard water pressure. I use either a mildly scented body wash I particularly like or a moisturising body wash. No radio. Sometimes I sing. I don’t hang around in the shower these days. I am very conscious of not wasting water. We just came out of about a decade of drought. The importance of water is now entrenched in my mind. Don’t have a door on our ensuite and I often don’t bother to shut the bedroom door. Mostly now it’s just my husband and I and a pet who might wander in to say ‘are you in there again!’

I hardly ever shower when I wake up; I like to take them when I have plenty of time. It takes me forever! Very warm water, decent water pressure. If I ever get around to getting the right part I need, and connecting the shower massage head I bought eons ago, I will use the pulsing massage setting at some point during the shower. I use unscented everything, except my shampoo which just smells like ‘clean’. I don’t usually sing, unless I’m alone in the house. Then all bets are off.

Our bathroom door has no lock, but I do shut it. Otherwise the cats will come in and wrap themselves around my damp legs when I step out, adding way more hair than this chick wants on her legs!

My sweetie and I shower together on most days. It just makes sense for time and water management – especially since even my quick showers take a long time. I almost never close the bathroom door for any reason, mostly for the cats’ sake because they hate closed doors. The younger one does come between the curtain and liner and watches us shower at times.

I preheat the water full on hot to get the pipes warmed and so the temperature will be stable, then turn it down to a comfortably warm level. I get in, wet my hair (which takes forever), work the shampoo through my hair, then scrub my face with cleanser on a gentle buf-puf while the shampoo soaks in. This is when he gets in the shower, makes it hotter and rinses. Then we switch – while he shampoos his scalp and very short hair and washes his body, I lower the temp, rinse off the shampoo and facial cleanser. I apply the conditioner and clip my hair up, and he scrubs my back while I let the spray beat on my forehead and sinuses to loosen things up, then we switch and he makes the water hotter ad goes under the spray to rinse while I scrub his back. He finishes rinsing while I wash my body with the conditioner still in my hair. Then he gets out and dries off while I rinse off with cooler water; then I wash my delicate genital area with the feminine wash that doesn’t irritate and I rinse that then rinse the conditioner out of my hair.

On days that I shave, I do that while the hair is deep conditioning and pinned up, and I often apply a masque to my face for those extra minutes while I shave, too.

Hot and hard (like I like my men LOL).

No singing. Shower takes about 5 to 10 minutes.

Hot and hard first thing in the morning ;) Either singing along with loud music or talking back to NPR, haha. My hair’s really short, so showers take me about 5 minutes and I love that. I shave immediately once out of the shower, because I need my glasses to do it!

Reading all your answers I feel fresh and clean without even getting wet! Nice. Thanks.

My routine is never routine as all that.
Sounds nice but I get bored and can’t maintain.
Happily in flux.
