So I was talking to an acquaintance today who told me they regularly take 20 minute showers. I was surprised as this seems like quite a long time and I was wondering fellow ATRLers, how long you usually spend in the shower?

i find myself agreeing w/ the acquaintance.

a shower is most effective when it lasts about 15–20 min. that ensures thoroughly scrubbing, remove dirt, and properly applying body wash. to my calculations, anything shorter than that makes me believe u r dirty and musty.

3 britney songs. i usually start with Piece of Me and my phone will follow with 1, 2, 3 and Circus.

this is only accounting for in shower/water time. not counting the 45mins it takes for my skincare.

When I lived with my parents I used to take like 20-30 minutes showers now I only do around 10 mins

Between 10-20 minutes.

If i'm in a rush: 5 minutes top just to make sure my pits as well as big deborah and fat pa are clean. right now i'm using a wonderful peach body wash and if I fart it smells like a fruit salad

2-3 songs

at least 20 mins when I've got time.

10 tops when I'm in a rush

It depends on my mood for some reason

If I'm happier, it's quicker (but my quick is still long for many people I guess) but if I'm sad I literally just sit under the hot water & do nothing for minutessss

About 15 minutes. My post-workout showers are shorter though.

I like to take a holistic approach to showers and clean my spirit too by listening to an entire aespa album while cleaning my body

This is very relatable. I have to put music on otherwise I dissociate. At least then I know how long it's been

10 minutes more or less. I have short hair so not as much hair to wash and I have a washlet bidet so not as much areas to clean

2-3 interludes or 2-3 die wit a smiles?

I waste so much water just by sitting in the shower having deep shower thoughts under the water stream, waiting for the room to fill up with steam so I wouldn't feel cold getting out of the shower Especially in winter months

Yeah probably around 20+ minutes for me too. Obviously I could be faster but I prefer to not rush and take my time.

Also I like to use the shower jelly from LUSH and its slippery as **** so sometimes that adds on extra time.

Depends if I'm in a hurry or not, if not in a hurry I shower for longer, like 15-20 minutes but if I'm in a hurry, 5 minutes. So I voted 5-10 minutes to make an average.

But I prefer baths anyway.

15 or so.

By the morning getting ready for work, 2-3 non tiktok lenght songs, at night after the gym, 2 tik Tok songs

Roughly 15 minutes. If I'm not feeling well, or if I'm exhausted and sore, I'm staying under the hot water until it starts running cold.

Depends on the top

Depends on the bottom

Depends. In the morning maybe 5-10 minutes, after gym 10-15 minutes, after beach/traveling 20+ minutes

About ten minutes.

Back when I was a stoner, about an hour, at the highest heat my body could handle, and I'd have heart palpitations for ten minutes after

What are yall doing in the shower for 20 minutes

15-20 minutes.

I do live for an hour long shower here and there because it's so peaceful but it's hard to justify using that much water.
