I’m the opposite, my hair looks better after it had time to settle overnight. I blow-dry my hair after I shower but it doesn’t look great immediately after.
I live in the United States, so a doctors appointment is like $600,000. i’m not buying my doctor a yacht just so I can get an answer to a simple question.
If/when I shower at night, I just need to soak my hair in the shower, scruff it a bit, then towel dry. Then I can comb it out and style it as if I just took a fresh shower.
I'm a guy though, with relatively short hair. If I had long hair like this photo, it'd probably be a rat's nest in the morning and need a full shower to fix.
Most of us sweat, I think if you plan to interact with another person, it's kinda basic decorum to not start your day with 10h of sweat on you already.
The pic could also be titled "evening showerers waking up in the morning".
But really, it depends on your job. If you work outside all day and get sweaty and dirty, you probably want to shower when you get home. If you show up at that job 12+ hours since your last shower with a bit of sweat etc. it doesn't really matter.
OTOH, if you work in an office with closed windows and lots of meetings, you probably want to be (and want others to be) as clean as possible when they show up in the morning. When you go home from that job at night, you're probably not particularly dirty and not in bad need of a shower. So, unless you want to shower twice a day, you might as well wait for the morning.
This was my exact thought too. Sometimes I think I’m the only person on Lemmy that doesn’t have an office job. If I did morning showers, I’d supposed to be spending my evening and night drenched in sweat and who knows what else from work? Doesn’t sound very pleasant.
I run the kitchen section of a grocery store so I get what you mean. I come home covered in grease every day and usually other food stuff too. A couple days ago I had a full case of soup explode on me, that was fun to try and clean. Thankfully it was refrigerated, not hot, so I didn’t get burned, but still, had to do the last couple hours of my day in very dirty clothes and the floor wasn’t super easy to clean either.
I know much of Europe is in denial about air conditioning being great. But seriously...why suffer? Even funnier is how many commercial buildings have it, or how it's used in cars or other transport, but for some reason home is off limits.
If you aren't European, my apologies for the mistaken assumption. That's just the only group I ever see hating on air conditioning like it makes them better than other people. Or that their suffering suggests anything about their moral character. If it's not possible for you, then I'm sorry to hear that, and that really sucks.
Well, the majority of people on the planet don’t live in that kind of environment.
So since every single person varies, some people don’t really get too sweaty or have noticeable BO. The majority of the smells associated with BO are produced by bacteria that live on our bodies.
That said some people are putrid after a day or two. The problem of nose blindness comes into play here too.
Shower at night for yourself, shower in the morning for other people.
There seems to be a misconception that showering at night, getting into a clean bed and waking means you're still clean... The truth is the majority of odours and filth come from you. Sweat, dead skin, other stuff...
These posts are always positioned as a binary, even when you can do both, and there's some nuance to it all.
Because your body naturally produces things you need to clean, it's like 75% of the reason you do it. Eating stuff just speeds up the production of bacteria. Give your breath a smell as you wake up in the morning before you eat anything, it reeks.
You should brush your teeth in the morning whether you eat breakfast or not.
The way I always heard it from multiple dentists is "if you want to keep your friends brush in the morning, if you want to keep your teeth brush at night, best is both."
Eating a mint to deal with bad breath seems like the equivalent of a 15 year old boy dousing himself with Axe body spray to deal with their BO. It doesn't solve the problem, it just temporarily masks it, and usually to a lesser degree than you think or hope.
Because the bacteria in your mouth thrive in dry conditions, and a majority of sleepers are mouth breathers. The bacteria in your mouth are what destroy your teeth and give you bad breath.
Edit: I just saw you said Yes to after breakfast. I don't know if it matters when, just don't make night time be the only time you brush.
Yeah, I think I was underestimating how many people are habitually skipping breakfast. That seems like a bigger issue to address than whether you shower before or after the least active part of your day, if I’m being honest.
For me it started with not breathing well through my noses so my mouth would taste awful when I woke up from being all dry and weird. Then it became an excuse to get my ass out of bed and moving.
It's reasonable for most people to hit the Carlin-4 twice a day. If not for social reasons, then for health and hygiene.
Dentists say we ought to brush twice a day, morning and night. My dentist once told me that if I'm only going to brush once a day, then it should be at night. You don't produce as much saliva while sleeping, and that creates a better environment for the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Brushing at night removes the tiny food particles that bacteria feed on, reducing the likelihood of developing tooth decay and gingivitis.
We then brush again in the morning because the lack of flowing saliva overnight causes a buildup of other bacteria that feeds on mucus, which is the cause of "morning breath".
I've been a night showerer and a morning showerer throughout different periods of my life. These days I'm actually closer to a lunch showerer - which I realize isn't practical for most, but it's the superior method if one showers only once a day.
When I’m working from home, I shower like… occasionally. I’ll shower after exercise days, but if I’m just going between my computer and bed for days, there’s no reason to shower unless it’s been so long I’m getting itchy.
When i wake up, if i had a shower tthr night before, my hair is all rough and greasy and i need to shower again in the morning. So its more efficient to just shower in the morning. Saves water and electricity too.
As someone who inherited my German ancestors greasy ass hair, let me tell you it doesn't help. I'll take it over the dry but relatively brittle hair of my Scottish and Irish ancestors, still got the rusty red color and wavyness from em though piss easy to maintain.
That's fair. I was wondering because I have fine hair that gets greasy fast, but for some reason using a silk pillow case and washing it every few days (both my hair and the pillow case) has helped immensely.
Damn, so if I eat a pill of isotretinoin every day my hair will be just as greasy? How this has escaped dermatology for years is shameful, I'll let them know right away.
Neither of your points in either of your threads makes sense. Do you brush your teeth before getting out of bed? Do you shower before getting out of bed?
No deliberate misunderstanding here, your point just wasn't very clear.
I mostly agree with you, btw. I brush my teeth twice a day, morning and night. I shower when I feel like I need a shower. Sometimes that's morning, sometimes that's night. I don't get night sweats every time I go to sleep.
As long as people aren't keeping you at arms length, telling you that you stink, and your skin and hair is healthy, people should shower as they see fit.
No, something like this, (I picked one at random) so easy to upgrade your boring head-down shower. Aim the warm water exactly where you want it, get everyone's bits nice and clean.
One of the things I hated most when we went to the US a couple years ago was the stupid showers. Most of them were just fixed showerheads on the wall. Like god damn that is just bad
ITT lots of sweaty sleepers spending 10 hours sleeping in a puddle of sweat and grease. I'd need a morning shower too if I was like that.
Normal people that are not covered in 10 hours of sweat when they wake up probably don't need a morning shower and trying to say that sleeping (without the copious amounts of sweat of you veritable faucets)is the same as spending 16+ hours moving and working and being around other people is really delusional. And what adult is getting 10+ hours of sleep on the regular? Y'all either live in some major privilege or don't have hobbies.
I shower 2-3 times a week in the middle(-ish) of the day.
Showers make me sleepy so can’t do early mornings. I have very long, straight, and thick hair that takes hours to air dry, and refuse to use blow dryers, so night is right out else I end up with a really shit bed-head curl situation..
The sweet spot is mid-morning or around lunch, when I get sleepy anyway, given an hour to half-dry, then put up in a french clip bun, so when I take it down for the evening, it has a nice open curl. I never use the pretty, but it makes me feel very pretty at night.
Yeah, and I've also tried stuff like conditioner washing (co-wash), mostly when I did fun dye colors, to preserve the color. But my threshold to feel gross is honestly low enough that my hair feeling nasty is my shower habit trigger, else I simply wont do any self-care. So while it’s technically an option, it’s not one that works with my self. :D
I cannot stand going to bed dirty. I always shower before bed. And if my day went poorly, and sometimes it did, fresh clothes and multiple showers during the day. But only once did I ever burn a set of clothes.
This is how most normal people feel. These threads are like the "stand to wipe" "debate" where it's only a debate among a certain subset of very online people.
Heavy, thorough shower at night. Quick shower in the morning. Maybe a quick shower when I get home to reset. I work outdoors, so I get actual dirt dirty.
Your skin and hair produce dead skin cells and oil. You wallow in that all night, and your bed gets continually dirtier until you wash the sheets, then you get up and go to work dirty in the morning. Your co-workers notice and make fun of you.
Morning showers are also what turns me from a coprse into at least the living dead.
Whose sheets are dirtier? The person who only climbs into bed once they're freshly showered and clean, or the person who takes their entire day's accumulation of dirt, grime, dust and pollen and climbs into bed covered in all that filth and gross?
This makes no sense. Is a body not cleanest immediately after showering? Why would morning showerers not be wallowing in skin cells and oil all night as well?
When I wfh I do the same. When I am out and about I have to shower in the evening. Worse for people who actually do physical labor and/or come home dirty. The sink won‘t be enough
I scrub with soap at night shower. Morning shower is just letting hot water wake me up and to wash my face, cause I've always been a messy face washer at the sink.
50 years of my body being trained to wake up with a shower means never taking one before bed if I actually want to fall asleep. Rare exceptions are made as needed. Sheets get washed and changed several times a week.
Mine says "no" to showering everyday. For about a day after I shower I'm just hyper-aware of my skin and not in a good way. It's the bare minimum for hygiene purposes for me.
You know, that might be fair. It's never been a problem for me, but I do know my wife's skin doesn't like it when she showers too much. (Something she brought up, when I was making jokes about how Lemmings hate showers due to the downvotes).
Guess I just repeated what worked for me as a fact without really thinking it through, my bad lol. I appreciate you sourcing your argument, though. +1.
As a psychiatric nurse can confirm; black people are objectively cleaner. Doubly so if they're Muslim but even Christian / nonaffiliated blacks as well. I was raised redneck in a very quietly / mildly racist environment so there was this underlying mindset that black = poor = less hygiene but when I started working healthcare my perspective really changed.
Hygiene in general is very culturally dependent and honestly once a day is fairly common among whites, maaaybe every other day without causing any problems as long as they're cleaning their hands, butts and teeth properly (if it's less than that they're almost certainly struggling with some kind of psychological / psychiatric problem). Black patients on average shower 2x daily (although they wash their hair much less, like weekly or every 2 weeks). They HAVE to use lotion though for their skin to tolerate that, white people usually just leave their existing skin barrier intact. Muslim patients often need accommodations (time excused from group therapy) to accommodate their prayer and hygiene schedule.
My hair all day since I shower at night:
My hair all year since I shower in January
https://youtube.com/shorts/OjTcpu2xIfY
I’m the opposite, my hair looks better after it had time to settle overnight. I blow-dry my hair after I shower but it doesn’t look great immediately after.
Still seems better than bringing street grime into your bedsheets daily?
Bold of you assuming I’m ever leaving my house
I don’t wear my street clothes to bed.
Besides, I sweat like a pig in my sleep for some reason, so there’s no point in bathing first.
Probably because of all the fucking.
Edit: that explains the hair, too.
Seems like if you knew about the piggy and the hairy you’d keep your mouth shut
.....pigs dont sweat though.....
That's what all the street grime is for, making the mud wallow.
That's potentially a health issue you should have checked out.
I live in the United States, so a doctors appointment is like $600,000. i’m not buying my doctor a yacht just so I can get an answer to a simple question.
I will just deal with sweaty sheets
🤣😄😅🥲😥😭
No need to feel sad. I wake up at 3 or 4 AM anyway. I’m one of those weirdos who sleeps in two distinct periods. 11-3, 3:30-8
I just smoke a bowl, check Lemmy, change my clothes, put down a towel, and go back to sleep.
After 20 years or so it’s become a routine
What you dont buy multiple sheets for your bed on top of all the attire you need for your body and social customs?
You... umm... never heard of washing oneself in the sink...?
If/when I shower at night, I just need to soak my hair in the shower, scruff it a bit, then towel dry. Then I can comb it out and style it as if I just took a fresh shower.
I'm a guy though, with relatively short hair. If I had long hair like this photo, it'd probably be a rat's nest in the morning and need a full shower to fix.
I'm a golden showerer. Rated 5/5
EDIT: I have just been informed that doesn't mean what I thought it meant
what did you think it meant???
Don’t run from it.
Please, I need to know... what did you think it meant???
Life is dirty and you should be washing your sheets weekly, you'll get over it.
Every 2-4 months, take it or leave it
You guys wash your sheets?
You guys have sheets?
(I sleep in a hammock and wash my blankets and hammock routinely, but no sheets)
You should wash your sheets as often as you wash your sofa pillows, belt buckles an bread knife.
so … while I shower?
Pretty Prince Andrew behaviour ngl

Same here, I work in kitchens. I gotta get that grease off when i get home.
I run the kitchen section of a grocery store so I get what you mean. I come home covered in grease every day and usually other food stuff too. A couple days ago I had a full case of soup explode on me, that was fun to try and clean. Thankfully it was refrigerated, not hot, so I didn’t get burned, but still, had to do the last couple hours of my day in very dirty clothes and the floor wasn’t super easy to clean either.
This guy getting 10 hours of sleep a night…
Well, 10 hours in bed. 2 hours of sleep.
I wish
Rounded up on the 8h we're supposed to get as I'm assuming these people aren't going to bed with wet hair
Lots of people in this thread not realizing that night sweats are a symptom of poor health...
How do you treat health issues of 39C above 80% humidity climate?
Air conditioning.
This a serious comment? Or just American?
Por que no los dos?
I know much of Europe is in denial about air conditioning being great. But seriously...why suffer? Even funnier is how many commercial buildings have it, or how it's used in cars or other transport, but for some reason home is off limits.
If you aren't European, my apologies for the mistaken assumption. That's just the only group I ever see hating on air conditioning like it makes them better than other people. Or that their suffering suggests anything about their moral character. If it's not possible for you, then I'm sorry to hear that, and that really sucks.
Australia. But honestly that is still such a USamerican take, it makes it very easy to dismiss.
Whatever helps you sleep at night...
Well, the majority of people on the planet don’t live in that kind of environment.
So since every single person varies, some people don’t really get too sweaty or have noticeable BO. The majority of the smells associated with BO are produced by bacteria that live on our bodies.
That said some people are putrid after a day or two. The problem of nose blindness comes into play here too.
China and India, South America are like that. Isn't that majority of the population?
Shower at night for yourself, shower in the morning for other people.
There seems to be a misconception that showering at night, getting into a clean bed and waking means you're still clean... The truth is the majority of odours and filth come from you. Sweat, dead skin, other stuff...
These posts are always positioned as a binary, even when you can do both, and there's some nuance to it all.
Like, do you brush your teeth in the morning or at night?
But you haven't eaten anything in the night, right?
That's the logic on display here.
I don't brush my teeth after sleeping, either. After breakfast, sure, but first thing in the am? Why?
Because your body naturally produces things you need to clean, it's like 75% of the reason you do it. Eating stuff just speeds up the production of bacteria. Give your breath a smell as you wake up in the morning before you eat anything, it reeks.
You should brush your teeth in the morning whether you eat breakfast or not.
The way I always heard it from multiple dentists is "if you want to keep your friends brush in the morning, if you want to keep your teeth brush at night, best is both."
Dentist never heard of a mint?
Also I thought morning brushing was about teeth because most smells are on the tongue not the teeth unless there'd an abscess or something.
Does everybody brush/scrape their tongue every morning?
I mean, I can't speak for everyone, but I do.
Eating a mint to deal with bad breath seems like the equivalent of a 15 year old boy dousing himself with Axe body spray to deal with their BO. It doesn't solve the problem, it just temporarily masks it, and usually to a lesser degree than you think or hope.
Because the bacteria in your mouth thrive in dry conditions, and a majority of sleepers are mouth breathers. The bacteria in your mouth are what destroy your teeth and give you bad breath.

For me it started with not breathing well through my noses so my mouth would taste awful when I woke up from being all dry and weird. Then it became an excuse to get my ass out of bed and moving.
I eat dinner though
After you go to bed?
Gotta keep that emergency tendie stash on the headboard
It's reasonable for most people to hit the Carlin-4 twice a day. If not for social reasons, then for health and hygiene.

Right? And I've been saying that at night, whilst you sleep, a similar process happens all over your body.
Sweat, dead cells, farting under the duvet.
That's why we shower in the morning too.
Bed time isn't a magical clean stasis. Biological processes happen. People seem to miss that in this weird debate.
The point being that you are going to bed with a day full of activity/dirt/sweat/stank.
You absolutely shouldn’t be showering twice a day…
ETA: Showing twice a day is terrible for your skin.
Exactly, you also need a shower after lunch...
This guy Magics the Gatherings.
Yeah. It's shower, shower, bath, shower. D'uh.
I've been a night showerer and a morning showerer throughout different periods of my life. These days I'm actually closer to a lunch showerer - which I realize isn't practical for most, but it's the superior method if one showers only once a day.
I work from home and cannot agree more. Mid day shower kicks ass. Just wash your sheets yall
Edit: autocorrect got me
My people
When I’m working from home, I shower like… occasionally. I’ll shower after exercise days, but if I’m just going between my computer and bed for days, there’s no reason to shower unless it’s been so long I’m getting itchy.
assuming?
Ass. Autocorrect gottem.
I took a shower at 4pm yesterday 😄
I mean that's mostly because I need to shower after I visit OP's mom on my break.
When i wake up, if i had a shower tthr night before, my hair is all rough and greasy and i need to shower again in the morning. So its more efficient to just shower in the morning. Saves water and electricity too.
You might need to wash your pillow.
As someone who inherited my German ancestors greasy ass hair, let me tell you it doesn't help. I'll take it over the dry but relatively brittle hair of my Scottish and Irish ancestors, still got the rusty red color and wavyness from em though piss easy to maintain.
That's fair. I was wondering because I have fine hair that gets greasy fast, but for some reason using a silk pillow case and washing it every few days (both my hair and the pillow case) has helped immensely.
You should be doing that anyways
WTF kind of foods are you eating? Waking up with greasy hair after you just took a shower??
What you eat has very little to do with hair texture
Hair texture is an entirely different thing than hair GREASE.
K. That also has little to do with what you eat.
Damn, so if I eat a pill of isotretinoin every day my hair will be just as greasy? How this has escaped dermatology for years is shameful, I'll let them know right away.
Have you ever noticed the difference in your skin & hygiene & body odor from the times you eat greasy junk foods vs when you eat clean?
There is a 180° difference.
No, i haven't.
Night showers waking up:
What did you do all night in your sleep to make you that nasty?
Some people have slimy sweaty sex in mud pits all night.
Sweating... 🤮
Use fewer blankets?
What you eating at night that means you have to brush your teeth in the morning?
Breakfast
You eat breakfast before you get out of bed?
ITT lotsa people who have never been made aware of "morning breath"
Neither of your points in either of your threads makes sense. Do you brush your teeth before getting out of bed? Do you shower before getting out of bed?
I think you are deliberately misunderstanding the point.
My point is that even without breakfast, you should brush your teeth before going out into the world.
Morning breath is a thing, right? And so is night sweat and lying for 8 hours (if you are lucky) cocooned with all the gas you pass.
So, to make it really simple... You brush your teeth for morning breath, right? You should shower for morning body.
Or don't. I'm not your boss and don't really care what people smell of you.
Just don't sit next to me on the bus in the morning.
No deliberate misunderstanding here, your point just wasn't very clear.
I mostly agree with you, btw. I brush my teeth twice a day, morning and night. I shower when I feel like I need a shower. Sometimes that's morning, sometimes that's night. I don't get night sweats every time I go to sleep.
I shower in the morning before bed cuz I'm a 3rd shifter.
As long as people aren't keeping you at arms length, telling you that you stink, and your skin and hair is healthy, people should shower as they see fit.
No. People need to shower daily.
You stink, they're just not telling you.
I'm one of those people that showers daily, cause my hair looks greasy if I don't. People have different bodies, some need to shower more, some less.
Your stink
If you're doing anything in your bed other than sleeping, you may need to shower and change your sheets more often.
And if you shower and change your sheets more often, you might increase the chances you'll be doing more in your bed than sleeping.
I will also suggest having a lidded trashcan in the bathroom, and a hand shower.
Hand shower? Wat. A sink?
That thing I piss into?! No thanks.
No, something like this, (I picked one at random) so easy to upgrade your boring head-down shower. Aim the warm water exactly where you want it, get everyone's bits nice and clean.
https://www.lowes.com/pd/Moen-Attune-Chrome-Handheld-Shower-Head-1-75-GPM-6-6-LPM/5015066185
I was initially confused because that's just a regular shower around here. Didn't realize there are fixed showerheads.
One of the things I hated most when we went to the US a couple years ago was the stupid showers. Most of them were just fixed showerheads on the wall. Like god damn that is just bad
That sound very inconvenient indeed
I had one, once in a hotel. It was a very bad experience. I ended up taking water in a bucket to splash myself with it.
I suggest becoming an aquatic life form.
That's also an option
Yeah, breadcrumbs in bed really suck.
ITT lots of sweaty sleepers spending 10 hours sleeping in a puddle of sweat and grease. I'd need a morning shower too if I was like that.
Normal people that are not covered in 10 hours of sweat when they wake up probably don't need a morning shower and trying to say that sleeping (without the copious amounts of sweat of you veritable faucets)is the same as spending 16+ hours moving and working and being around other people is really delusional. And what adult is getting 10+ hours of sleep on the regular? Y'all either live in some major privilege or don't have hobbies.
You guys shower?
Yeah, I also don't get much sleep.
shower? but you barely know er!!!
I shower 2-3 times a week in the middle(-ish) of the day.
Showers make me sleepy so can’t do early mornings. I have very long, straight, and thick hair that takes hours to air dry, and refuse to use blow dryers, so night is right out else I end up with a really shit bed-head curl situation..

You ever considered not washing your hair every shower?
Yeah, and I've also tried stuff like conditioner washing (co-wash), mostly when I did fun dye colors, to preserve the color. But my threshold to feel gross is honestly low enough that my hair feeling nasty is my shower habit trigger, else I simply wont do any self-care. So while it’s technically an option, it’s not one that works with my self. :D
My life motto is: two showers until Christmas
Why do we assume morning showerers are not also evening showerers
Morning showerers are ones who shower those and only those who do not shower themselves in the morning.
https://youtu.be/7sl0e9yKwTk
Just shower twice, what are you? french?
Si
You meant "oui" didn't you?
Da
I'm a growerer, not a showerer.
I shower before I go to bed. This is the only right answer. I can’t imagine going to bed with smelly feet and armpits, yuck
I cannot stand going to bed dirty. I always shower before bed. And if my day went poorly, and sometimes it did, fresh clothes and multiple showers during the day. But only once did I ever burn a set of clothes.
This is how most normal people feel. These threads are like the "stand to wipe" "debate" where it's only a debate among a certain subset of very online people.
Weekly? Sure. But morning or night?
3AM
I’m not that dirty
People are so weird about germs.
Ok rfk
Yeah, especially since we are half bacteria.
Heavy, thorough shower at night. Quick shower in the morning. Maybe a quick shower when I get home to reset. I work outdoors, so I get actual dirt dirty.
Night showerers are gross.
Your skin and hair produce dead skin cells and oil. You wallow in that all night, and your bed gets continually dirtier until you wash the sheets, then you get up and go to work dirty in the morning. Your co-workers notice and make fun of you.

Sure, it's better to wallow in other people dirt all day and then go sleep in that.
This makes no sense. Is a body not cleanest immediately after showering? Why would morning showerers not be wallowing in skin cells and oil all night as well?
It's too easy to skip a shower in the morning for extra sleep though. Then I get no shower. That's why I shower at night haha
At least 2 showers most days.
If I had to choose it would be shower before bed though.
Change sheets bi weekly at least.
How the hell do you have time for 2 showers a day?
Easily?
Work 8h Sleep 8h Shower 8h
WFH and my first one is my morning break
Sometimes I take 3 showers a day and it's still less total time than I've wasted online.
5-10 minutes at night 3-5 minutes in the morning.
Yeah, I also look that dirty after a day at my desk at work and watching TV at my home.
It's reasonable for most people to hit the Carlin-4 twice a day. If not for social reasons, then for health and hygiene.
rip if you have a dust mite allergy
Weekly here, too!
Afternoon showers for the win
You opened a whole new dimension. Smelly in the morning, AND dirty in the night!
Working at a big box retailer for the day fixing a printer and the dude in the department here smells like he showers once a week.
Wash my hands and face and brush hair before going to bed.
Go to the bathroom in the AM and then shower.
Right? People are so fucking weird, like they never heard about washing oneself in the sink...?
When I wfh I do the same. When I am out and about I have to shower in the evening. Worse for people who actually do physical labor and/or come home dirty. The sink won‘t be enough
A bunch of the morning people are acting like the inverse isn't possible either.
I scrub with soap at night shower. Morning shower is just letting hot water wake me up and to wash my face, cause I've always been a messy face washer at the sink.
50 years of my body being trained to wake up with a shower means never taking one before bed if I actually want to fall asleep. Rare exceptions are made as needed. Sheets get washed and changed several times a week.
Imo the real war is between fresh jammies vs naked sleepers
im a naked sleeper, my wife is a jammie-ist. can confirm we dont see eye to eye
Just skip a step and take a shit in your bed.
My guess is they are also a night showerer, so they get into bed clean
Edit: Nevermind, I read the title now. If they are a weekly showerer it doesn't matter how they get into bed, they nasty
Nothing better than showering after coming home from a shift and washing off the filth from the day. When the hot water hits your back. pacha-meme.gif
Youre allowed to shower twice a day you fucking ferrets!
Depending on where you live, that's not only unnecessary but also not great for the skin.
Who the fuck has time to shower twice a day, lol? I got shit to do
Sorry, my eczema says "no".
Mine says "no" to showering everyday. For about a day after I shower I'm just hyper-aware of my skin and not in a good way. It's the bare minimum for hygiene purposes for me.
You should shower twice a day at least. Once in the morning to wash of the stink of the night, and before bed to wash off the stink of the day.
It's really not a binary choice.
That's really bad for your skin and the recommendation I remember hearing is every 2nd day to preserve your skins horny layer
You know, that might be fair. It's never been a problem for me, but I do know my wife's skin doesn't like it when she showers too much. (Something she brought up, when I was making jokes about how Lemmings hate showers due to the downvotes).
Guess I just repeated what worked for me as a fact without really thinking it through, my bad lol. I appreciate you sourcing your argument, though. +1.
Edit: forgot some words.
I wanted to source it better but I was just about to take a nap, haha.
Morning and night here. As a white man you all need more black friends.
You don't shower enough. You don't use face clothes or you use the same one on your face and ass. You don't moisturize.
Shit is disgusting yo!
Twice a day is absurd
You're right, I do 3 in the summer. Morning, (after)noon and evening.
As a psychiatric nurse can confirm; black people are objectively cleaner. Doubly so if they're Muslim but even Christian / nonaffiliated blacks as well. I was raised redneck in a very quietly / mildly racist environment so there was this underlying mindset that black = poor = less hygiene but when I started working healthcare my perspective really changed.
Hygiene in general is very culturally dependent and honestly once a day is fairly common among whites, maaaybe every other day without causing any problems as long as they're cleaning their hands, butts and teeth properly (if it's less than that they're almost certainly struggling with some kind of psychological / psychiatric problem). Black patients on average shower 2x daily (although they wash their hair much less, like weekly or every 2 weeks). They HAVE to use lotion though for their skin to tolerate that, white people usually just leave their existing skin barrier intact. Muslim patients often need accommodations (time excused from group therapy) to accommodate their prayer and hygiene schedule.
if that's a concern, you're doing a bad job of washing your ass
Driest Skin In The West
I know I need to bathe when my skin starts looking black.
