What's the most hygenic time of day to have a bath?

[dynamicbaddog]

I've just come out of the bath - I'm so fresh and so clean

 

[Stobart Stopper]

I have a shower in the morning to wake myself up and a bath at night, can't get into bed without being clean. Yuck!

 

[Spymaster]

I'm often too pissed/mashed to risk bathing at night.

I've heard you're filthy in bed.

 

[Termite Man]

I don't bath because they are too short for me so I have to shower instead !

 

[mr steev]

the once a day stuff is rather OTT considering how little people bathed in the past

I agree

Bath's are nice for a lazy afternoon and at the end of the day with clean bed sheets.

If you share a bed with someone else then it has to be a bath a night.

We have to wait a couple of hours for the water to heat... life's to short

I have either a shower in the morning, or a bath at night. Two showers a day or a bath and shower every day is really bad for the skin as it washes away the natural oils. If I have them more often than that I tend to get very dry skin.

If I have a bath at night, I have a quick wash the following morning followed by a bath again in the evening. If I have a morning shower, that's normally it for the whole day.

I cycle to work as well and although I don't use antiperspirant, I don't smell as I use a crystal deodorant which keeps odours away.

Aww... our bath is extra big, we had to have it made to order. We really wanted it for the width though, but my husband has no difficulty sitting down in it.

If you're limited to having one bath a day, what's the best time to have it?

All replies are much appreciated.

One bath a day?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No wonder there is a water shortage.

I have to bathe when I'm in the pub coz there's no shower, so I have to adopt a two-stage bathing process, with my legs submerged at first, then my body and head submerged later, with my legs sticking up the wall

It does seem excessive, but then I'm used to generally washing my entire self (including hair) from one bowl of water (about 7 litres or thereabouts).

When my wife and I go camping it is a case of wet wipes and anti bacterial gel for hand washing. We only use water for drinking, and making coffee and tea.

Is there summat wrong with that? We all have (at least one) one bath or shower a day (although my kids share the bathwater)


Actually they are hideously wasteful but try and tell them not to take the goddamn plug out (then defenestrate it!)

My son has had his second shower of the day today. But he needed it. Little boys = lots of washing!

 

[Groucho]

I shower every morning except when I am hideously late or if on a weekend I am being hideously lazy. I bath usually once a week in an evening - often Sunday - to coincide with clean bedclothes.

Wet wipes make an awful lot of nonbiodegradable waste though, and can't anti-bacterial cause super-strains of germs? I think just a bowl of water, heated on the calor gas, and some bog-standard imperial leather is the best, and most eco, way of keeping clean

 

[Pieface]

Hello Hollis.

This is a difficult one but I'm not into baths myself - I get bored in them.

I shower first thing in the morning and after exercise.

I hope that is enough information for you

Wet wipes are biodegradeable. You are confusing anti biotics with anti bacterial.

If you were on a water meter you would soon get out of that habit.

No there is definite concern that overuse of anti-bacterial cleaners around the home and in various other non-essential circumstances is increasing bacterial resistance.

I didn't know that wet wipes were biodegradable now though, it's an improvement but I still prefer soap.

Thanks honey.

I don't have a bath very often, just don't seem to find the time because I like to take my time with a bath. I have showers instead and tend to have one late in the day. Hubby has one in the morning and sometimes in the evening as well.

That probably doesn't help you at all, sorry.

.

It is the anti bacterial kitchen surfaces causing concern not anti bacterial hand washing gel. You would not prepare food on a surface covered in hand washing gel it would probably kill you.

 

[Looby]

I love showers but we haven't got one so I have to have a bath every morning especially when it's hot. I would feel really minging going to work without a bath and hairwash. I would rather bath at night though, I have to get up really early.

No. He smears and eats his own poo (autistic). More baths the better. (plus I pay Yorkshire Water enuff for the priviledge!!)
