Just shower twice, what are you? french?
Si
You meant “oui” didn’t you?
Da
My hair all day since I shower at night:
If/when I shower at night, I just need to soak my hair in the shower, scruff it a bit, then towel dry. Then I can comb it out and style it as if I just took a fresh shower.
I’m a guy though, with relatively short hair. If I had long hair like this photo, it’d probably be a rat’s nest in the morning and need a full shower to fix.
My hair all year since I shower in January
I’m the opposite, my hair looks better after it had time to settle overnight. I blow-dry my hair after I shower but it doesn’t look great immediately after.
Still seems better than bringing street grime into your bedsheets daily?
What you dont buy multiple sheets for your bed on top of all the attire you need for your body and social customs?
Bold of you assuming I’m ever leaving my house
You… umm… never heard of washing oneself in the sink…?
I don’t wear my street clothes to bed.
Besides, I sweat like a pig in my sleep for some reason, so there’s no point in bathing first.

That’s what all the street grime is for, making the mud wallow.
That’s potentially a health issue you should have checked out.
I live in the United States, so a doctors appointment is like $600,000. i’m not buying my doctor a yacht just so I can get an answer to a simple question.
I will just deal with sweaty sheets
🤣😄😅🥲😥😭
No need to feel sad. I wake up at 3 or 4 AM anyway. I’m one of those weirdos who sleeps in two distinct periods. 11-3, 3:30-8
I just smoke a bowl, check Lemmy, change my clothes, put down a towel, and go back to sleep.
After 20 years or so it’s become a routine
I’ve been a night showerer and a morning showerer throughout different periods of my life. These days I’m actually closer to a lunch showerer - which I realize isn’t practical for most, but it’s the superior method if one showers only once a day.
I took a shower at 4pm yesterday 😄
I work from home and cannot agree more. Mid day shower kicks assuming. Just wash your sheets yall
My people
assuming?
I mean that’s mostly because I need to shower after I visit OP’s mom on my break.
As long as people aren’t keeping you at arms length, telling you that you stink, and your skin and hair is healthy, people should shower as they see fit.
You stink, they’re just not telling you.
I’m one of those people that showers daily, cause my hair looks greasy if I don’t. People have different bodies, some need to shower more, some less.
Your stink
No. People need to shower daily.
ITT lots of sweaty sleepers spending 10 hours sleeping in a puddle of sweat and grease. I’d need a morning shower too if I was like that.
Normal people that are not covered in 10 hours of sweat when they wake up probably don’t need a morning shower and trying to say that sleeping (without the copious amounts of sweat of you veritable faucets)is the same as spending 16+ hours moving and working and being around other people is really delusional. And what adult is getting 10+ hours of sleep on the regular? Y’all either live in some major privilege or don’t have hobbies.
You should shower twice a day at least. Once in the morning to wash of the stink of the night, and before bed to wash off the stink of the day.
It’s really not a binary choice.
That’s really bad for your skin and the recommendation I remember hearing is every 2nd day to preserve your skins horny layer
You know, that might be fair. It’s never been a problem for me, but I do know my wife’s skin doesn’t like it when she showers too much. (Something she brought up, when I was making jokes about how Lemmings hate showers due to the downvotes).
Guess I just repeated what worked for me as a fact without really thinking it through, my bad lol. I appreciate you sourcing your argument, though. +1.
Edit: forgot some words.
I wanted to source it better but I was just about to take a nap, haha.
Weekly? Sure. But morning or night?
3AM
I scrub with soap at night shower. Morning shower is just letting hot water wake me up and to wash my face, cause I’ve always been a messy face washer at the sink.
Yeah, I also look that dirty after a day at my desk at work and watching TV at my home.
It’s reasonable for most people to hit the Carlin-4 twice a day. If not for social reasons, then for health and hygiene.
Shower at night for yourself, shower in the morning for other people.
There seems to be a misconception that showering at night, getting into a clean bed and waking means you’re still clean… The truth is the majority of odours and filth come from you. Sweat, dead skin, other stuff…
These posts are always positioned as a binary, even when you can do both, and there’s some nuance to it all.
Like, do you brush your teeth in the morning or at night?
But you haven’t eaten anything in the night, right?
That’s the logic on display here.
I don’t brush my teeth after sleeping, either. After breakfast, sure, but first thing in the am? Why?
Because your body naturally produces things you need to clean, it’s like 75% of the reason you do it. Eating stuff just speeds up the production of bacteria. Give your breath a smell as you wake up in the morning before you eat anything, it reeks.
You should brush your teeth in the morning whether you eat breakfast or not.
The way I always heard it from multiple dentists is “if you want to keep your friends brush in the morning, if you want to keep your teeth brush at night, best is both.”
Dentist never heard of a mint?
Also I thought morning brushing was about teeth because most smells are on the tongue not the teeth unless there’d an abscess or something.
Does everybody brush/scrape their tongue every morning?
Because the bacteria in your mouth thrive in dry conditions, and a majority of sleepers are mouth breathers. The bacteria in your mouth are what destroy your teeth and give you bad breath.
Edit: I just saw you said Yes to after breakfast. I don’t know if it matters when, just don’t make night time be the only time you brush.
Yeah, I think I was underestimating how many people are habitually skipping breakfast. That seems like a bigger issue to address than whether you shower before or after the least active part of your day, if I’m being honest.
I eat dinner though
After you go to bed?
Gotta keep that emergency tendie stash on the headboard
The point being that you are going to bed with a day full of activity/dirt/sweat/stank.
It’s reasonable for most people to hit the Carlin-4 twice a day. If not for social reasons, then for health and hygiene.
Dentists say we ought to brush twice a day, morning and night. My dentist once told me that if I’m only going to brush once a day, then it should be at night. You don’t produce as much saliva while sleeping as you do while awake, and that create a better environment for the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Brushing at night removes the tiny food particles the bacteria feed on, reducing the likelihood of developing tooth decay and gingivitis.
We then brush again in the morning because the lack of flowing saliva overnight causes a buildup of other bacteria that feeds on mucus, which is the cause of “morning breath”.
Right? And I’ve been saying that at night, whilst you sleep, a similar process happens all over your body.
Sweat, dead cells, farting under the duvet.
That’s why we shower in the morning too.
Bed time isn’t a magical clean stasis. Biological processes happen. People seem to miss that in this weird debate.
You absolutely shouldn’t be showering twice a day…
Exactly, you also need a shower after lunch…
This guy Magics the Gatherings.
Yeah. It’s shower, shower, bath, shower. D’uh.
Yeah, I also don’t get much sleep.
People are so weird about germs.
Yeah, especially since we are half bacteria.

Ok rfk
Weekly here, too!
Youre allowed to shower twice a day you fucking ferrets!
Sorry, my eczema says “no”.
Mine says “no” to showering everyday. For about a day after I shower I’m just hyper-aware of my skin and not in a good way. It’s the bare minimum for hygiene purposes for me.
Depending on where you live, that’s not only unnecessary but also not great for the skin.
Who the fuck has time to shower twice a day, lol? I got shit to do
My life motto is: two showers until Christmas
