Nit and I do not have a shower. We have two choices... Fill Bathtub, or take Sponge Bath.

So, I spongebathe in the morning, and take a full soak in the tub every couple days.

You can say that again. I have enough trouble brushing my teeth in the morning, if I tried to take a shower I'd likely slip and crack my head open.

At weekends, when I wake up.

During the week, when I get back from work.

Not that I do anything strenuous, physical, or remotely outdoors at work, I just like to have a shower as a psychological barrier between Work and Home. Also, stupid people make me feel dirty, and I have to deal with them.

Its definately a morning thing. On Monday's especially when I'm up at 6:00 to catch the 6:40 train and spend the next hour and a half getting into DC the only thing making me remotely human is the fact that I've showered and woken myself up with hot HOT fucking HOT water.

I always take a shower in the morning (I find it to be a good wake-up) and in the evening, especially after a long day.

I take a shower everytime I come back to my dorm because I'm always sweating and smelling and I always do it before bed. Sensible for me.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Before bed is normal for me, the only exeption being if I'm too tired. I voted for Straha's castration even though I don't know who that is. Why castrate him/her/it?

Really depends on when I run. If I run in the morning, I will obviously shower after, and the same goes if I run at night instead. A second shower depends on what exactly I did that day.

I take a shower when I wake up AND before I go to bed. It's a habit I've had since childhood. I prefer to go to bed feeling nice, fresh and clean. It generally helps me get to sleep easier.

I've gotta shower before bed, or I won't be able to sleep at all that night.

If I need help waking up, or I left the window open because I expected it to be dry & cool while I sleep and it turns out hot and nasty, a shower in the morning also.

Question: if you actually reek unless you take two showers a day, shouldn't you consult a doctor? A healthy person should not stink like a farm animal if he misses a shower. Maybe there's some kind of bacterial problem, or diet imbalance.

Barring major time constraints*, I generally take a shower before I go to sleep and after I wake up. It's not because I'd smell vile otherwise, just because I've gotten into the cleanliness habit.

*When I say "major time constraints", I mean "I need to get out the door more than I need to change clothes or get shoes on" major.

I usually only shower before bed. Morning showers is something that kills my day. I only do it if I have to or if it's a really hot summer and I was sweating a lot during sleep.

In the morning.

Unless you do something that makes you stink showering twice a day is a huge waste of water and money.

I shower every morning for a good 20 minutes. I take a 5 minute shower at night. So yeah, so yeah what I do, I've been a little self-conscious about hygiene ever since summer school. (Damn you summer school I could have just said no)

With no other considerations, I'll only shower in the morning because it helps clear my head and wake me up. It's also easier to shave and brush my hair into place if I've showered.

That said, if I work out during the day, typically in the evening after work, or if I've drenched myself in sweat while hiking or doing yard work for example, I'll shower in the evening (if not sooner) so that I wash all of that sweat and grime off of me.

I should clairfy that I don't actually stink at the end of the day, it's just the thought of all the microscopic nasty day-fucnk ass-juice-whatever that makes me cringe and not want to wallow in it all night...

Also, I don't REALLY think you're piggish if you shower in the morning...it's a...I dunno...thing with me. Just...okay, if you shower in the morning but not before bed, I will not fuck you. so, sleep well knowing that you will not be violated by me while you do so...


If you don't shower before bed.

Showering is a night thing for me. I started that when I was running track and cross-country in high school and we did late afternoon runs. Now, I guess I like to sleep in those extra fifteen minutes or something.

I did shower both before and after bed when I was younger. However that got me a skin problem and the doctor told me to not shower so much. I began shower only before bed and the skin problem hasnt bothered me for years.

I shower in the morning to help me wake up and i shower in the evening because it helps me sleep.I don't think that people who shower only at night should smell bad,and if they do they should visit a doctor.

There is no option for PRN. Which is generally how I do it. Most days I shower in the morning, but if I need to I'll shower up again later.

As an aside, if you BO is that bad that you have to showers a day PRN, every day; go see a doctor. You natural flora shouldn't be giving off that much stink.
