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.
0.5 showers a day
Ah yes, the classic 7 showers every other Monday.
I shower every other day - four times a week.
If I go every other day I will be in the shower 4-5 times a week, is that over showering?
I typically shower for 60-90 minutes, I push my self and raise the temperature each week.

Damn, you work way too much. How do you even have time to post on Lemmy?
I shower around 0.5-0.75 times/day.
The biggest problem is the time I waste on public transport. My working hours are from 9am to 6pm.
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
In this thread: People who do not grasp the intention of the question and focus on the semantics of a foreign lenguage being translated as best as possible for OP.
For this context alone: BATH = SHOWER
For all other times, yes they do mean different things.
Thanks, but it was my mistake. I’ve already edited the post.
You can edit titles on Lemmy too fyi
I’m from EU. Many years I took a shower every day, but that was bad for my skin. So I try to shower every two days now (=0.5). It’s not easy, because showers feel refreshing 😅
Are you sure it’s the shower that is bad for your skin? People use so much soaps and shampoos and they never think that those could be the problem.
I would reduce the use of those products if you are a heavy user. The ads have made people think they need chemicals to become clean when hot water is enough.
Yes, I am sure. If I don’t use at least mild shampoo and shower gel, my hair gets greasy and my skin oily, minutes after the shower. That causes even more problems.
Ok at least you are sure, that’s all I can ask. :)
one every few days
One shower every two days. No baths.
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 think I’m depressed.
Have you tried being happy instead?
Thanks, I’m cured.
Nope, not worth the effort.
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.
Depression = twice in the last month. I have an appointment to adjust my medication.
I really hope things improve for you. If talking to a random internet stranger would help, I’m here.
Usually once per day
I often skip 1 day if i have no plans and just hang out at home. But never 2.
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.
I agree, and there are studies on the amount of showers we can take. I, for example, work sitting down and with the air conditioning on. The problem is travelling from my home to work. It’s impossible not to arrive at work very sweaty. An extremely crowded train/bus or just walking for five minutes is enough to make you sweat a lot.
Come visit Brazil during summer, then we’ll see if you keep that opinion.

Not of it’s just a quick rinse in cold water. Many people in Latin America take a shower multiple times a day but it’s not what people in the US would call a shower. It’s quick and often doesn’t involve soap. I shower at least twice a day but only one of those is a real “shower” shower with soap.
All the Brazilians I knew were shocked when they learned I only took one shower per day. Most of them claimed to take 3 per day. I just chocked it up to their being in a warmer climate.
Can any Brazilians here confirm taking ~3 showers/day?
That’s not common, no. 1 per day is the bare minimum, though, and 2 per day during the work week is usual.
Brazilian. I only take one shower/day unless it’s very hot, then it’s two. I don’t think I ever took three showers/day. But bear in mind that the climate is very different depending on where you live in Brazil.
Living in New England, United States, I shower on the three days a week that I work. On days off, I only shower if I’ve been working in the yard or something like that.
When I lived in the Caribbean, I showered at least once, often twice a day. It’s very different in the tropics lol
One a day
