What are your normal bathing habits?

[Coito ergo sum]

Prince Charles thinks most Brits take baths: 'Snub the tub. If everybody in a four-person family replaced one bath a week with a five-minute shower, you could save between £5 and £15 per year off your energy bill.'

Hmmm.... does he think Brits bathe only once a week? Do Brits only bathe once per week????

Where I grew up, it was once a day showers. Every morning, the three "s's" - Shit, Shower and Shave. Preferably in that order, for obvious reasons. Although, sometimes I combine the shower and the shave....

What's with "baths?" Is this really something anyone but the Octogenarians do? I mean, I can understand how some women like to lay in a hot bath with oils and smelly candles and stuff as a relaxation method, but I never thought baths were part of anyone's actual hygiene regimen.

So, what's the deal? What country are you from and what's your normal washing up regimen? Daily? Every other day? Weekly (whether you need it or not)?

My guess is that your in bred dauphin prince is a little off his rocker, and Brits take normal daily showers.....

.....you folks do brush your teeth every day...... right?

O.k. - in the poll you each get two options - one - choose whether you take showers or baths or a mixture, and also choose your frequency. You can change your answers.

That's not good for the environment, says the Prince. He wants you to take a five minute shower to save the planet.

One shower a week? and the Merkins accuse us french of smelling bad because we're not addicted to deo ...

Whew! Me too....

I'm thinkin' your sickly Prince fellow is off his rocker. Once a week? What's that Buckingham Palace smell like? Holy moly.

You hardly need deodorant if you wash regularly. You know - soap/water/washcloth -- tends to do the job.

You folks smell because you don't bathe enough, not because of a lack of addiction.

Never more than once daily, unless it's really HOT and I take a soapless shower just to cool down, or I've just been in circumstances that make me feel really dirty (like major labor leaving me really covered in somethiung that shouldn't be there, or at least sweaty as a hog).

You voted every other day, didn't you....smelly bugger....

Hey - reminder, by the way - the poll contemplates 2 votes per person - one for kind of bathing done and the other for frequency.

The French smell, and their women don't shave their pits, I heard...... I don't know what it is, but seeing a woman with armpit hair triggers my puke reflex...

[Pensioner]

At my age I shower when I have pissed myself, I shower 4 times a day, if I remember.

[JimC]

Standard one shower a day, in the morning, but we try to keep it to 3 minutes, to save water...

Um.... No, I think he's saying that if everyone replaced one [of their several] baths per week. As he well knows, most Brits bathe in front of the fire at least once every three days, if they have the coal.
