One of the strangest polls ever

This is from my local board:"when you shower do you?wash everything/every time?? I just wash the stinky parts and anywhere that gets sweaty.? DH washes every inch of his body w/ soap for every shower.? I find this BIZARRE - or am I gross and did my mom not teach me how to shower correctly. .". If you're already in there, why wouldn't you wash everything? As a spin off, how often do you shave?

Re: One of the strangest polls ever

  • I don't understand...if you are already in the shower, why wouldn't you wash everything?  Oh wait, you said that.  Yeah, sorry, I've never heard of someone showering and washing just certain parts.  When I shower I wash everything...however, because of my severely dry skin, I do not shower every day to keep me sane.  One of these days I'll get to a derm dr.  As for how often I shave?  Uhhh...whenever I have to show my legs.  Yeah, that's bad.  I hate shaving.  Although, I did try the new veet with the razor like rubber doohicky before going to Ashley's.  It worked REALLY good and it didn't have that overpowering hair remover smell like it used to. 
  • It's camp.  I take 3 minute Navy showers (any longer and you're taking a cold shower).  I rotate what I wash.  Day 1 I'll wash my hair.  Day 2 I'll wash and shave the upper half of my body.  Day three it's lower half and shave legs if I need it.  Though I only shave my legs every 2-3 weeks.  Yay for being a natural blond.  :)

    And this is better than my old camp's policy of "shower when your feet turn black".  Haha!  Though that was a Trek camp where you were out of camp without bathrooms for 4-5 days at a time.

  • DH does the every single inch of his body every time thing. Me...depending on how much time I have....if I'm running late I might skip my back and I might not really wash my legs with soap, but just rinse them.

    As far as shaving I shave my legs about once a week.

    ETA: i do shave my armpits every day and my girly parts about every 3 days or so.

  • I wash everything every day. If I have a little extra time I might scrub my feet with a rock or something. I'm a quick showerer, 7 minutes for it all. I shave my pits and girly parts everyday and the legs whenever they get really gross. Like Jaye said, one of the benefits of being a natural blonde.
  • DH and I both wash everything everytime we shower. Although, DH is much faster at it then I am. I tend to take long showers (~15 min, longer if I'm shaving my legs). I shave underarms everytime I shower and legs only if they are getting gross or I have to show them.

  • I wash my whole body everytime.  Normally I only wash my hair every other day since it is so curly and tends to frizz, especially if I use a hair dryer in the summer.  I HAVE to shave under my arms everyday or it drives me nuts. My legs...once a week usually does the trick.
  • I wash every part, every time.  My theory is doesn't it take only a few extra seconds to wash everything?  I workout in the mornings 5-6 days a week and get nasty sweaty when I elliptical.   When I do pilates vs. elliptical I usually don't wash my hair from the day before.   As far as shaving goes, I usually shave my legs, pits, and girly parts 2 to 3 times a week.  More if they'll be making an appearance that day :)  I also use a pumice stone on my feet in the shower a few times a week, usually if I've worn flip flops the day before.   
  • i scrub everything every day.

    i hate to shave!!  i am like tammy and only shave if i have to show my legs.  my poor hubby in the winter time!

  • I scrub everything every time.  Shaving my legs and underarms is a must everyday as well, even in the winter.  I can't stand feeling the stubble.  Lady parts get shaved every 3 days or so.

    Maybe we're the cause of all those big foot sightings Wink

  • I don't wash my hair every time, but I do use conditioner every time.  My hair is to curly not too, but I don't want to dry it out.  As far as body parts...every part every time!

    Now shaving is another story.  In the winter I usually shave my legs from my knees up.  The only time people see my legs is at volleyball and I wear socks up to my knee, then knee pads so you can only see the top part.  In the summer I shave every few days.

  • I wash just about everything every time.  I'll skip my hair every once in a while just because it takes so GD long to dry.  But I don't really like when my hair gets greasy so this is very rarely.  I shave the lady business every other day and same with my underarms.  But my legs I shave every few days or so, or once a week in the winter.  DH everything every time as well.

  • I usually wash everything every time. Sometimes I'll skip washing my hair though, especially when running late. I shave about twice a week. 
    Anniversary
  • I wash everything everytime.  But I have recently discovered the greatness that is washing my hair every other day.  It is so much happier, softer, less frizzy, not as dry now that I only wash it every other day.  I love it.

    I shave everything everyday.  I can't deal with the stuble.  I wear shorts to bed.

  • Generally I wash everything every time. If I'm in a super hurry I'll do a "whore's bath" and just do hair, pits, and ladybits. I have to wash my hair every day or it's gets greasy.

    Pits get shaved every other day, legs about once a week. Ladybits get waxed every 6 weeks.

  • Oh geez, I wash everything every time but I have extreme dry skin so I only shower every two days unless I have worked out, then I shower after.  I only shave every few days-and usually not often in the winter, but that will probably change now, living in Arizona where it is warm for most of the year!
