I bath every morning, nice deep one and wake up slowly :-)
Shower after gym or swim and if I sleep through my alarm.

It's the little things that keep us happy! For me, there is nothing that a nice hot shower doesn't help with.

Shower once or twice a day. Love a good long shower in the morning, having spent a while swishing away the muddy cat paw prints - left over soapy water obviously being just that bit tastier than Oasis out of a bottle!

I shower every morning and again when I finish work and I have a lovely, long, deep bath every weekend usually on a Saturday.

Showers are fine for that general all-round clean feeling, but I had a couple of little spotty-on-the-botty bits recently which showers wouldn't shift (however hard I scrubbed) but a hot 30-minute soak took care of that...........

Re: Are you a shower or a bath person? And how often?
The truth is that our skin is not designed to be washed intensively every day because it removes the natural oils that the skin produces. I think that once a week is fine as long as you use deodorant and wear clean clothes every day. Excessive washing can strip the oils from the body and leave dry skin and make skin conditions such as eczema worse.
It wasn't that lot ago that flats didn't even have a bathroom, you simply washed at the sink and shared a toilet with the whole tenement block. You went once a week to the local baths (which is why a lot of people call the swimming pools the "baths") to get properly clean.

Shower to wake me up in the morning. Max10mins. Overall clean of the bits. I have a skinhead so not much time allocated for applying hair product.
Lunchtime post workout requires a shower of course. Pushed for time so it's a quick all over lather, rinse and scoot.
Evening before bed, always shower. Usually do this around the time of getting my little one ready for bed
Bath, hotels and sometimes on a Friday when my legs are aching and I need a soak.
I remember from my Navy days that on Frigates, only the Captain had a bath and I'm sure at Christmas, the youngest sailor on board would get to use his bath. I do remember after 7 months on a ship, without a bath, being quite jealous of this guy.

Definitely shower. Not had a bath in years
2 sometimes 3 times a day depending on what happens at work.
Showers are more fun for 2 as well I think, notwithstanding the tale of the young sailor chappie, his captain and their Christmas day bath

Shower every day without fail, I love shower gels, I currently have 6 badedas ones that I bought in the UK, and two white musk from bodyshop (favourite perfume since my teens, forget the expensive stuff though I do have some). Bath about once a month when I have time on my hands, again with badedas cos its the best.

You only wash properly once a week? We're progressed so that most people having a bath or shower in their home - for good reason.
Did you choose your user name as that's where others need to be in relation to you?

There are quite a few people who ,apparently, are taking your advise....unfortunately it is very unpleasant to come near them.
