I'm male btw. I have a bath twice a day (sometimes 3 times). I just feel dirty and sweaty after a few hours and I don't feel comfortable then until I take a bath. I also wash my hair and shave twice a day. Is this normal?
Yes, it's normal. I think people should bathe when they wake up and before they go to sleep. If they get dirty or just feel like washing themselves again, then they should do so. Proper hygiene is more important than saving a few pennies worth of soap and water. At the same time, I think taking a 30 minute showing with the faucet continuously running is a wasteful. So bathe often as you like but be mindful of the time your spending in the shower. If you take baths, then you're saving even more water. I take 10 minute showers two to four times a day. So I stay clean and not waste water. Sometimes I turn off the water when scrubbing or washing my hair, and then turn the water back on to rinse. Just be smart about it.
I looked it up. According to http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/myths/shower_vs_bath.html, homes that were built before 1992 probably had shower heads that put out 5 gallons per minute. Low flow shower heads put out 2.5 or less gallons per minute. So if you live in a home built before 1992, changing the shower head may save water.
ok, so unless you're forever wanking it in the shower (i.e. you're asspicker or flikr), a shower should take no more than 5-10 minutes meaning 25-50 gallons even with the old style shower head.
So you're still better off than with a bath which is probably 75 gallons or more.
It honestly could be ocd. I think you have way to much time on your hands if you have time to take 3 baths a day. and honestly, washing your hair even once a day is damaging to it. doctors recamend only washing your hair every other day. you don't want to become bald. also, use a lot of lotion in the winter. cause washing that much will definitly dry out your skin.
Classic soundings of OCD, if you let it, it will get way worse. some people cant leave their houses because of how afraid they are of the dirt and grime outside. you need to try and reverse it as soon as you can.
wait, what's the normal shower per day then? i was taught to take a shower two times a day. in the morning (freshen you up), and when you get home from school/work. but, i'm really lazy, i take a shower once a day whenever i feel like it. sometimes every two days. shaving twice a day is kinda sounds like ocd.
Its normal if you go about it in a normal way...thinking about or obsessing about dirt or germs is not normal. But if you feel dirty or oily then bathing yourself is normal. More people should take up the habit. During the summer months I can take a few showers a day easy...
That may be called OCD, but hey, you're clean at least!! You're like the opposite of all the other posts I've seen here about not showering often/at all. But yeah, about the shaving thing, don't shave more then once every second day! It'll irritate your skin!
