Well, this is not a new discussion, neither is it mine. I have shared or participated in a discussion of this kind in many platforms. I am talking about the average amount of time one should use for taking or having a shower. I have personally never taken fewer than two minutes showering but I tend to avoid spending more than five minutes in a shower. The time of the day can also determine how long I take in a shower. Mornings tend to take more time - around four to six minutes. In the evenings, I usually use three to four minutes in a shower. How long do you take on an average shower?

@SIDIKIMPOLE When I was growing up, water was always in short supply so I learnt to have short showers.

@JudyEv That is really good. There are some places where CLEAN water is so scarce and people rely on rationed supply

That's true, you have a lot of hair and I guess it takes long to get all the soap out of it, and more water too

Very good response. I can see it varies with season / temperature
