How many showers do you take a day? (lemmy.ml)

Curiosity only.

Here in Brazil it's very common to have several showers a day. I, for example, take two. The first is when I wake up, before I go to work, and the second is when I get home from work. I wake up at 6.30am and get home at 8pm.

edit: I said bath, but I meant shower.

Two a day. Sometimes 3 if I have an evening event.

I also go in our hot tub almost every night.

The second shower is usually more of a rinse unless it was a long/sweaty day

Hot tubs are effectively just people soup. I find them so disgusting.

Ah, so you don't like swimming pools either then?

[–] Tak@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kinda but it's much less of a concern for me as all surfaces can be cleaned but with hot tubs they often have pipes that cycle the water that never get a scrub.

[–] dom@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting. Swimming pools also have pipes that cycle water. And ideally you are keeping the water maintained and doing regular deep cleans of the tub anyways

[–] Tak@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It's not binary of has pipes or not and cycles water or not. It's the amount of it as well as the use of hot water. I don't know if this is just personal experience but hot water is a much better solvent than cold water and a pool has a lot more water while a hot tub has quite a minuscule amount of water that is circulated quite quickly.

Really it's not that big of a deal and I'm not saying it's unhealthy but just how I find them to be disgusting.
