How mant times do your bathe or shower in a day?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680) 3 years ago

On hot and humid days, we bathe or shower more than once. I know in some regions in the world they do not have the luxury of a water bath. They take sponge bath. On the other hand, the rich and famous have jacuzzis to lie in and have flower petal baths off and on to pamper themselves. I remembered that in certain cultures, if you are bathing, it should be before 12 noon. Apparently, they are superstitious that bathing ta lunch time is bad for our health.So how many times a day do you bathe or shower? I have a bath regularly but on super hot days, I bathe in the morning, noon and at night just before dinner. Come by and give me your practices and experiences in bathing.

During the winter, spring and fall its usually once a day. During the summer months depending on the heat it could be up too three times in a day. However, its mostly twice aday for me. Once in the morning and once at night. If I was doing yard work or exercising than I would have to take an afternoon shower.

lelin, thanks for sharing. Good to know that bathing is quite universal but I guess in water deficient areas like Greece and the Middle-east, bathing oftentimes is a luxury. Just to bathe a day would be wonderful in those countries, I think.

I will need to take my shower twice... once after my lunch cooking, and once after preparing dinner.. I just can't stand the sticky sweat on my body after an hour spending in the kitchen fixing meals, especially in my country that is always hot hot weather... Even my little baby will bath twice a day, and she almost can't stand it at about 7pm if she is not being 'cooled down'... I will bath before my dinner definitely, as they say it is not good to bath too late at night, and also after meal.. happy

Yes, bathing is a must in equatorial Malaysia.Imagine after a walk in the park, you would have sweated profusely, what more when cooking in a sweltering kitchen preparing lunch and dinner. Oh yes, I remembered my kids. We bathed them once in the morning, once in the evening and a nice wash too before they go to bed. Thanks for your inputs.

I usually bath the least three times a day no matter the weather is humid or cold. Whenever I woke up from my sleep in the morning I will take a quick shower and then continue to do whatever i am doing.If i have classes I would have bathed once and the next one will be during lunch hour but if I have no classes I would bath before and after lunch. Usually in the evening I will bath again after the evening jog and after dinner would be a leisure time for me and around 9 I would take a quick shower before I go to bed.

Dear jonjee,

If I am going out, I will take a shower before go out.
Due to our hot and humid weather..taking a shower before
go out is refreshing! Then before sleep, I will take
another quick shower..then only fresh and nice to sleep!

If the whole day I am at home, I will take my bath once.
And again in depends on the weather too!

My mum told me we should not take bath at 12 pm, noon.
Perhaps based on some culture, or beliefs that the time
is not good for bath...maybe some fengshui, ying & yang
hidden explanations there! Another time range that need
to observe will be no more bath after 7.00pm because by
that time the sun has set. I think the reason will be..
the temperature is cold (long time ago, no heater - water
will be extremely cold) if bath at that point of time, our
body will exposed to cold and might get sick and suffer
rheumatism at old age! But my mum & those older generation
says that it is during that hour the spirits roam, so not
advisable...I believe every myth has its scientific theory
behind it!

Wonderful topic and all the best!happy

Yes, all these advice for the elders are not exactly superstitions.They could be following advice given down from the generations. Perhaps,their forefathers and mothers told them not to to bathe after 7 pm because that was more for those residing in China or those in temperate climes. The 12 o' clock high advice might be a superstition. These days, people shower all the time, at even those odd hours. Nothing untoward has happened to them, putting paid to these old wives' tales. Thanks for dropping by.

During hotter season, in a day...I bathe twice (morning and night / evening)..In cold season...just one and not more than that :-)

To bathe, I don't go by superstitions but by my body odour..haha :-)


myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680)  3 years ago

Yes, we bathe according to our needs. What we want from a bath is a clean and refreshed self. Unless, water is expensive in your area, it's good to bring body temperatures down. Thanks for your views.

i usually only shower once per day, but on the really hot hunid days i will take 2 baths. i really dont have time for 2, so more than that would be impossible!


myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680)  3 years ago

Yes, if you are busy, you will only to able to take a minimum number of baths. So some executives take showers in their office. Those who go to gyms at lunch also freshen up after taking a bath there. The rich also go for Turkish bath. Have you taken a Turkish bath? Thanks for your views.

i bathe once on a normal day but depending on the activities or if im in pain o will bathe two or three times.


myLot reputation of 97/100. jonjee0203 (4680)  3 years ago

Yes it is activity related. The more sweaty you become, the more baths you need. In the tropics, we need to bathe to cool the body down daily. At least three times per day is recommended. Thanks for your views.
