UNLESS you work a blue collar job, or any other job that requires you to be outside the whole time, I don’t see the point in showering every day. Especially if you work from home or in a building with AC. It seems excessive and is also a waste of water. But do what you want lmao.

    I’ll say that Navy Showers should be the norm. Also makes it easier to end the shower instead of standing there at the end.

    According to the U.S. Department of Energy, water heating is typically the second-largest energy expense in homes (after space heating).[2]

    A ten-minute shower takes as much as 230 liters (60 U.S. gal) of water, while a navy shower usually takes as little as 11 liters (3 U.S. gal)

      TIL that I have always “Navy Showered”. I grew up in the Caribbean where all we had was a solar water heater. The hot water would barely be enough for one person so we always water on/rinse/water off/lather/shampoo/water on/rinse/water off. It’s how I have always done it. Same applies for toothbrushing. My wife leaves the water running while brushing, which has always driven mad.

        I know this sounds crazy, but there’s a scientific basis for leaving the water running while you brush your teeth. See, I’m actually just making stuff up and wanted to see if I could get any bites lol
