I'm not 1 that likes to shower for a long time. I do what I need to do and get out, especially in the winter time, it's to cold. I soap up really good wash my hair rinse of and I'm out. My Boyfriend stays in there forever who knows why but sometimes I have to check to make sure he's alright. Luckily I don't have to pay for water.. How long is your Shower?

I'm in it till there's no hot water left. That's what get's my circulation going in the morning. Gatta love those massaging shower heads.

If I go after my honey I always have to wait till there is hot water again. He uses all of it.

I take a 3 minute shower. I pay for water and it's expensive. I don't want to waste it.

A huge difference. When water was free and abundant, I took long showers. The price of water doubled this year to get people to conserve. I'm sure with our severe drought it will go up again.

It makes a difference if you have to pay your own bill.

Sometimes I stay a lot longer in the shower than I intend to but sometimes the warm water, especially after a long cold day outside just feels so good. Usually, I'm in the bathroom a total of 12 minutes. I go in, shower and dry off and leave the bathroom. Today I think I was in the shower a little bit longer than I intended to but I don't pay for water right now so it is OK!

I love a very long hot shower they rock for sure! its like letting the stress just run off of you. I am in the shower for at least 30 min, Once I get in I just do not want to get out.makes me want to go take one now I would but it would not be wise since I am getting ready to go out in 20f temps! lol lol

I shower usually for less then 10 minutes, though sometimes if the hot water seems really soothing, I will stay in there longer after my partner gets out.

Depends on the temperature of the water, and if i am feeling conscientious that day. By nature, I dont like to waste but there are days when I indulge, and then it goes to about 10 mins, otherwise, i can be out in 2 mins flat, especially if i am in a hurry!

I might stay longer if I could sit in the shower.

Before December,the length of time I would spend in the shower depended on how much hot water I had available from the boiler when getting in! At that time,there was no fixed shower,so I was using one of those "over the tap" shower adaptor sprays on the bath taps..And then in December,I got my bathroom renovated to include an electric shower,so the hot water is now as good as unlimited!

It's nice to be able to relax and take my time in the shower instead of having to worry that the water's suddenly cooling down and that it's going to turn into an involuntary cold one in the next few minutes!

I don't like to shower for long time too. I usually spend 5 minutes in my bathroom. My mother always call me " a duck bath" because I very quick take my bath. I don't know really what it mean by "duck bath". But it's a term for someone who take a bath for short time. Keep post Happy myLotting...

In winter ,I usually skip my shower.I do it thrice or four times in a week when the weather is chilling cold. But in summer I take twice or thrice shower a day.and each of them takes at least 20 minutes. So in my case it depends on weather .

It depends. If I am tired from working out or playing sports, then I would take 20 minutes and let the water hit my back while its hot. Although, my normal showers are 5-10 minutes. If I am in a hurry, I am capable to take a full shower in 2-4 minutes.

That sounds about right for me. Anything after 10 minutes is to long.

I normally take a shower for 15-20 minutes. But when the weather is cold, I take a shower as fast as I can. If it's summer, I stay in the bathroom for 30 minutes.

Oh yes! I can't help but to hop in the shower when I sweat in summer.

Depends of how much of a rush I am in. If its a shower in the morning its usually a quick shower, just kind of wash and go and then off to work. If I have a shower in the evening or at the weekends, I could spend along time in it listening to the radio and singing along. The main thing is once I'm clean and fresh, I'm happy.
