I used to tease my friend because every time he uses the bathroom it takes him 30 minutes to be done. As a guy, I don't see the reason of bathing so late, that anyone bathing in another cubicle would really be challenged to extend the stay just to compete with his long hours. How about you! How long do you stay in the bathroom?

I am a female, I take about a 20 minute shower and ten minutes to get ready well atleast to put lotion on and deodorant plus brushing my teeth. I'll take a bit longer to get dressed because I usually have to find something to wear. I really need more clothes to choose from to be honest lol.

ah that's a good idea to have the clothes arranged already. For me I can take only five mintues if I'm in a hurry and I've taken a shower that lasted one minute (I did use soap and shampoo too, but had to do so very fast and in cold water!). When you're late for work or going to be late for work, it's what you have to do.

I usually take a long time in the shower unless I'm in a rush to go somewhere. On average I take about one hour. I usually stay long in the shower in the winter when it's cold because the water is so warm that I don't want to come out and face the cold since my apartment is really hot sometimes. Also, if it's really hot outside I might stay in the shower for a little while to cool off. If the temperature is just right then I might get out sooner. It mostly depends on whether I have something to do and somewhere to go though because if I'm in a rush I will come out in a shorter time.

Well, as I see it, the environment is really a factor in your stay in the CR.You stay quite long but I'm fine with that as long as you're not causing delays to other people.

Sorry, I meant "since my apartment is really COLD sometimes" not hot. Opps. Yeah, if other people have to use the bathroom then I'm faster as well. I'm not the only that takes long in the shower. My mother takes a long time as well, sometimes longer than I do. My uncle used to laugh at us because we took so long, but I noticed that he started staying longer in the bathroom now as well lol. My grandmother is super quick. It usually takes her less than 20 minutes.

No, I don't stay in the bathroom too long. I generally don't stay in the bathroom longer than I really need to. I'm definitely not there anywhere close to 30 minutes. I'm usually there for no more than 15-20 minutes, and that's when I'm taking a shower or something.

Time is Gold so they say. There are times that I don't even take a bath till I have an appointment outside the house!

Then blue you would not like to wait on me while I take my bath as it is not a simple bath for me as I am a female and well legs and armpits need to be shaved and polished. I also have very long hair which I was and condition daily and that in itself can take me 30 minutes. I live with my boyfriend and although I don't believe I have timed him he take a bit of time as well. I suppose maybe we are slow. lol

well I do stay long in the bathroom but not because of makeup or anything since the only thing i chose to wear is lip gloss and perhaps mascara. I often get distracted by the stuff in the medicine cabinet like the ear cleaners and stuff XD i have a weird habit of rearranging all of it, taking it out and putting it back again.

I often stay in the bathroom for a long time. Especially when it is frozen winter now. I prefer to stay in the bathroom to have the hot shower and this will make me feel comfortable. I will spend at least half an hour in the bathroom. I feel relaxed in the bathroom. I love China

Not really. I do not stay long in the bathroom. Just enough to have a good bath. I too am wondering why there are people who stay so long in the bathroom. 30 minutes for me is quite long already. Maybe your friend does something more, like using conditioners, cleansing the face, scrubbing and all sorts of beauty stuffs.

Precisely, that's what he is trying to explain. He has several rituals on skin, hair and other stuffs. Very vain.

I take 15mins to shower every day but If I have to shave or whatever then it'll take me 35mins to shower and that's all I spend in the bathroom. I get dressed and do everything else I need 2 do in my bedroom. I don't like to hog up the bathroom expecially if other people need it too. I think it's only convenient to do it that way. I dont see how men take so long what all do they gotta do ? Us women do more than they do. I guess i'll never understand though.

Hi, blue_servant. Welcome to myLot! When I brush my teeth and take a shower, I am usually in the bathroom for at least 20 to 25 minutes, the most. When I am fixing my hair, it takes me at least, 15 to 20 minutes, depending upon the hair style that I have chosen to fix my hair as.

Yes, I can say that I do stay , but whenever i am in rush , come out within 10 mins, but usually i take 20- 25 mins. Actually I love taking shower and bathing a lot. I feel fresh, i lnow everyone feels that but i feel something different that i am in my dreams and all. Lolz. Its somethiong funny reason but its the real reason for me. I sing , dance , take shower, play with water then i come out. Guys, i am 18 but the activities i do inside the bathroom , are very childish one. But its enjoyable. You can try too !!

I am staying in the bathroom in the maximum time of 20 minutes. In that period of time, I can thoroughly clean every part of my body. Staying too long in the bathroom is not a good idea for me. I could get colds if I stay naked for a long period of time. Bathing for up to 20 minutes is just enough for me. I am a kind of person who does things quickly. But that doesn't mean that I do not do things properly.

Well, we follow the same routine. A maximum of 20 minutes would be a really good shower for me.

Ever since i was a kid i had short hair really realy short hair! hell my hair was even shorter than my male classmates! so it would just take me about 10 minutes to take a bath but when i decided to let my hair grow long my minimum stay at the bathroom would be 20-30 minutes maximum to an hour..... I had to adjust my waking and bathing time in order for me not to be late for school! the first few days were hard but eventually it also became a routine for me....

I do take about 20 min in the bathroom. I complete all the things in 20 min including making the trip to the toilet. Maybe that is the reason I take long in the bathroom. For me I don't see anything wrong staying long in the bathroom. A lot of people have there own rituals when it comes to the bathroom.

Most of the time when I use the bathroom, it will not take me much time to be done, except when I'm cleaning it. I understand that there are really others who take time to use the bathroom whatever they are doing right there to comfort themselves. There's some funny writing on the comfort room that I read once which said, "you are now sitting in the throne of comfort, don't make funny faces." This writing on the wall made me smile and analyze a bit what it means.

I also observed my cousin and even my brother that they stay longer in bathroom. I do use the bathroom only for maximum of 15 minutes. I wonder why they're staying that longer in the bathroom.

I take a long time to shower/bathe. I like long baths. During the colder days, the warm water makes me feel much better. And during the warmer days, the cold water really refreshes me. Neither makes me want to come out soon either to face the weather.
