The Boss is a night time girl and I prefer the daytime. Sometimes it's the afternoon before I have mine. It will be today. When's your favourite time to bath or shower?

I'm a night time girl...I like to go to bed clean. If I live with someone and we share a bed, I prefer him to be clean when he comes to bed too. My ex would shower before work. I found that a bit of an insult...he would rather go to work fresh and clean than come to bed with me fresh and clean.

I see a lot of responders have a shower to wake up...Getting up wakes me up....I wash my face, brush my teeth and hair....put stuff on sometimes...makeup and perfume. That's my morning ritual. When I have my shower, at night, I try and have quick showers too because I'm conscious of water usage. Liked your comment...I'm actually going to have my shower soon...

Now there's a delicate balancing act. I'd come to bed with you clean. No chance of wanting to let you down! LOL.

There is the odd occasion when it does get hot and humid here; that's when I will shower more than once a day. I think that the idea of an evening bath is quite appealing sometimes and if I ever stay in an hotel I usually have one then. Some friends used to live in a very grand house. They had clear windows in their guest bathroom and the bath was positioned so that you could look across rolling fields and water meadows. No one could see you lying there. I have been known to spend over an hour just watching the scenery. They've spilt up and sold it now, but it was quite my most favourite bathroom. Thanks LoLo. XXX

I shower twice a day if I am working, but when I'm not I'm a definite morning boy.

Both- LOL! I'm a clean freak! Taking showers and bath's relaxes me so I can't get enough of them. Besides that, I have an arsenal of soap. If there is some sort of natural disaster here- I may be hungry but at least I'll be clean and smelling good. :)

Most of the time I get bath in the mornings. When I am feeling really tired or if I am sick, I may take a soak in the tub at night. But, then I get up and take a bath in the morning, again, anyway.

I think that it makes you more prepared for the day ahead. Usually I am in and out of the shower by 8am. Today though I have put it off for some reason.

I'm a morning kind of person. I like taking my shower just as soon as I wake up. I prefer my water really, really HOTTT. With all that HOTTT water running over my head, down my neck & over my body, it gets my blood circulating real quick. I don't even need a cup of coffee when I have a good HOTTT shower!!! I crawl out feeling like a new person!!!!!!
@p1kef1sh (45681)

So that's HOTTT water then LadyM. I wanted to feel a new person but got slapped! I find a morning shower does invigorate.

And here I thought we was going to get some juicy news..lol I like showering when ever the mood strikes which in mostly in the evening since it helps me relax. But I do take some in the morning also especially if I have a appointment or have to go somewhere. In the summer months when it is hot I have been known to bath in the afternoon to cool down and refresh myself.

So very true..I do find myself sweating more after a shower.
@p1kef1sh (45681)

No juicy bits I am afraid. The problem with a shower or bath when it's very hot and humid is that you are hot and sticky again minutes after getting out. LOL.

Just before bed is usually my favourite bathtime, except on Sundays when it's just before I talk to a strange man I met via this site.

It's time he fixed the taps then.

I know him. He says that he often has to compete with the sound of dripping water and squeaky ducks on a Sunday evening!

I am a morning shower girl. And an evening pamperer. I need a shower to wake me in the morning. I should just shower again at night for all that I do before bed, but I don't like for my hair to be wet, even a little bit damp when I go to bed. (so just blow dry it before going to bed, you might add...... well it's not that easy - long story).

If I've got plans for the day, I take my shower when I need to start getting ready to go out. That's why I've said many times before that I'm off to jump into the shower, because I've got to start getting ready. And sometimes, if I'm staying in all day, I won't even take one! Shocking, you say! But sheesh, my skin is dry enough already, dammit, and I don't mind having a day's worth of dirt on me, nope, not at all. Well, unless I'd been digging in the garden the day before, or the present day, you know, doing something that brings up a lot of sweat. Oh heck, I don't know if I'm making my point here, p1key. But you get it, you always get me. One thing though, I don't like taking showers at night before going to bed. It wakes me up too much! I don't find them relaxing at all. And I don't take baths. The tub hurts my bones! Ok, I'm stopping now before I get too weird.......

If we do 8:45/2:45, it'll only be about 45 minutes. So, if it could happen earlier, that would be better. Well, better for me, because, as you well know, there are some things, although few, that I'll take all I can get of them. Now, get scrubbing mister or there'll be hell to pay!!! Oh, yes, and btw, I like it when you get really weird too, darlin.....
@p1kef1sh (45681)

But I like it when you get too weird Nova. I was just off to buy a new scrubbing brush for your back as well. I guess that is I open my mouth real wide it might just pass as a toothbrush! XXXX 8.45/2.45?

I used to prefer the nighttime but I'm switching over to mornings because of "important" television conflicts!

"Important" TV conflicts. Do they have The Simpsons on in the mornings now then? LOL.

Hey p1ke! Well, it depends on my mood! Lately I have been taking my shower later in the day. It has been so cold here that I have been waiting until closer to the evening to take a nice hot shower. I then turn on the oven in my kitchen/office so that when I come out of the shower I can be warm when I sit down at the computer to mylot! The kitchen is the only warm room in the house thanks to the oven! The landlord is not giving us enough heat and they have control so there isn't much we can do except turn on the oven to try to get some extra heat in the apartment!
@p1kef1sh (45681)
23 Jan 09
I would have thought that he had to maintain a heat level as part of your contract. What happens if he decides to save money and just cut you off?! I am quite outraged for you. You pay your rent so you should get a warm apartment in return!
@Opal26 (17679)

Yes dear P1ke, they are required by law to maintain a certain temperature, but they bring around a temperature gauge which barely gets to the temperature that they have maintain it at. So the apartment still isn't nearly warm enough. It is a big complex and there are different boilers. I am at the end of the line for one of the boilers so I get the least heat! Lucky me!

I usually shower or bathe at night. I like to be clean before I hop into bed.
@p1kef1sh (45681)

Many feel that way too. I used to enjoy and evening bath, but now we only have a shower it isn't the same somehow.
27 Jan 09
I tend to have a shower before I start work in the mornings or if its my day off and I fancy a bath then might have one in the afternoon or early evening. I dont like them at night time as I prefer to wind down so by having a bath early I have the evening to relax.
@p1kef1sh (45681)

I used to love an early bath and then bed with clean sheets and a good book. Lovely.

I have mine just before getting into bed - I like to be all clean and fresh in my nice sheets! My husband, however, is a morning man. He gets up and showers before going to work. Our son, on the other hand, showers all the time. He'll get up early and go surfing - then come home and have a shower. After work he comes home and goes in the shower - and if it's a hot evening he might have another before bed! Just as well we're not on water restrictions at the moment ... he'd be arrested and put in gaol if he lived in Queensland! As it is, we have a fair sized water bill. I keep telling him he won't be doing that when he's paying for it ...

I am a male and have usually taken showers once I get home from work in the afternoon, if it is a bubblebath, that I do at night before bed. I too have quite a few bath gels, etc., since my skin is dry, I alternate them.
@p1kef1sh (45681)
17 Feb 09
I used to enjoy a good bubble bath - it's not just the ladies that like to luxuriate! I too have very dry skin. I find that a shower doesn't aggravate it as much and can only put that down to the fact that I am not immersed in water for so long.

I take a bath in the morning everyday and mostly in the late afternoon or before i go to bed. But since, i am in a tropical country, most often when it is very hot i take showers in between. It depends on how hot the day is. There are times that i take 3 to 4 times a day or even more during the summer months.

Whenever I am somewhere humid I certainly shower more than at home where quite frankly it's very cold right now!

Then you can lie back and luxuriate. Heavenly bliss Humbug.
