Is it normal to...?

[MetaKnightPWNS2]

Is it normal to shower 4-5 times a day? Cuz I do it, and I was wondering if anyone else does it.

[megakill]

depends, ill shower in the morning, if i end up going to the gym ill shower after, and then maybe ill have a shower at ngiht for the hell of it.

[Blush]

Yes it is. You should probably just stick to one shower a day in the morning or night since that's what a lot of people do. But why do you take so many showers?

Well, I take a shower in the morning like everyone else does, another one when when I get home from school, and another when I'm pissed(I get pissed everyday), again when I want to refresh. And sometimes at night just cuz I feel like it.

It's not un-normal I suppose. When I went to Turkey I couldn't stand the heat (just being a Brit (And we British can only tolerate heat up to 42 degrees C) Scientific fact!) So I was taking constant showers then.

But the idea of a shower is to save water, say, over a bath. But by having 5 a day regularly. I don't think you're doing that.

Well you should probably not do that because you waste a lot of water that way. I mean taking a shower when you get home from school is basically pointless unless you're dripping with sweat. One when you want to refresh is pretty stupid also because that also waste water, and the one at night cause you feel like it is stupid cause that's basically like when you want to refresh.

its bad for your skin. you can get Skin conditions from showering that much.
so if i were you i should shower a bit less. i like to take a shower like everyone else.
but 4 is a bit to much, its better to shower once a day. and maybe twice if you do sports.
or work somewhere dirty.

[Carmilla]

That seems extremely excessive. Obsessive-compulsive even.

If that isn't a sign of OCD, I'm not sure what is.

[COMboy112]

You must live in a dirty enviorment then, or if you like so much, just keep doing it.
You might be overly clean, so your basiclly giving yourself AIDS if your immune system has that much free time.

[andre800]

my brother takes one everyday.

[andre800]

ya i guess so but why?

[Ericho]

No, it generally isn't considered normal. If a person cleans themselves over and over, it can be akin to obsessive-compulsive disorder, which I would know about, seeing as how I've had it and my brother has a severe case of it (not in this sense, however). Showering once a day is fine.

[Vidaria]

I don't think OP has OCD...

It seems to me you shower as a method of relaxation. Its a place for you to calm down and de-stress. The shower is a quiet (well white noise) and private place which can help you reflect, collect your thought and "re-center" yourself. That being said, showering 4-5 times a day is not likely to be very good for your skin as you keep washing away the oils on it - making your skin dry out all the time.

Perhaps you could find a different place where you can gain the same benefits? It could be as simple hanging a do not disturb sign on your door so you can have some peace and quiet.

However if you shower repeatedly because you feel unclean you may want to see your doctor just to see if there is a medical reason feeling the need to take constant showers.

[GiantDouche]

Do you have OCD or something?

[AlphaCentauri]

No, it isn't, to be honest, I'm not sure how you find the time to do that.

[slayer1029]

The fact that you take 4 showers makes me wonder what exactly goes on in there that you enjoy it so much...

[Mechabloby]

It depends if you do sports regularly. I only shower twice a day, maybe - morning and evening.

[JaY11]

I shower like, once a week. Lol.

[Box-Killa]

I shower in the morning and only shower more than once if I do something that makes me all sweaty.

well when you put it that way,it seems alot more normal.i take two a day so my hair wont get oily but i also take a shower or bath when im pissed or upset.

[UnkutAcid]

It's not really that unusual. I usaully shower when I get up, after school and work, and before I go to bed. That's pretty much it. I'm not writhing around in filth all day.

[JKMonkey]

4-5 times a day sounds like a bit much, i shower like 1-2 times a day and im very clean and hygenic, maybe that would be better.
