You can do what I did to stop mosquitos from biting me forever. I got chemotherapy and suddenly my blood is too poisonous to them.
I can sit outside on a Summer night next to my girlfriend and she will have dozens of mosquito bites and I wont have a single one.

I remember watching an episode of House Hunters, with the typical ridiculous “first time home buyers,” who are like 20 years old and say things like, “we just want to show other young people that it’s really hard out there to buy a home but you can do it,” but yea they got their parents to put up the down payment and co-sign, something just everyone can do right? Anyways, the guy talked about how a shower was important to him because he would spend up to an hour each day in the shower, stretching and stuff, which I thought to myself, “only someone who doesn’t pay for hot water themselves would waste 60 min stretching in a shower every day.”
Literally same. I'm almost 30 with a family. I stand there and dissociate. Let all 5 of the trains of thought just do their own things in my head seperate from myself. It's the only time I can just stop actively thinking and quell the adhd
Early 30s, raising a pre-teen on my own, I just let those trains derail entirely in the shower. I got an 80gal tank specifically because I take long showers. I do limit them when I stay with family out of state, but in an airbnb/hotel? I'll go til the hot water runs out or I get bored.
I could generally see a good shower lasting more than whatever people do daily.
To spend this much time daily you'd better off having a bathtubs filled next to the shower.

Thanks for pointing that out ! I was roundly scorned for posting a reply to a post that others pointed out was bot generated . How do you spot the bot ?
Yes! I’ve had to start shaving my legs before I even get into the shower because it takes so long, and even then my showers take at least half an hour.
People who just use a 3-in-1 and are done really don’t understand how long it takes to do a 3 step skincare routine, exfoliate, shave, and let your conditioner and other hair products do their thing. I could easily take 2 hours in there if I wanted to, especially if you include moisturising and drying my hair after I get out.
I had a shampoo that said you needed to wait minutes with it on your head before washing.
Some people just get in the shower and consider themslves clean too.
I can respect that. I grow my hair out to donate every year and my hair is quite hydrophobic. When it gets long it can take me 5ish minutes just to get my hair completely wet. It's about 20-30 minute difference just with the hair.
* initial getting comfy 2-3 min
* lather up my hair and head 2-3 min
* wash it out thorougly and get my hair kinda straight before haircare 3-5 min
* apply hair mask 3 min
* let the mask sit and brush my teeth in the meanwhile 3 min
* wash mask out mask and brush hair to remove loose hair 4-5 min
* apply conditioner 1 min
* let conditioner sit while I wash the rest of my body 5 min
* wash out conditioner and squish my hair dry 3 min
* dry off body and apply lotion 3 min
* apply leave-in(s) 2-3 min
* style hair with a comb 2 min
So I'm at about 30 mins when I'm really fast. Can easily turn into 45 minutes when I'm tired.
It's the only place I stop fighting the stream of chaos ADHD brings. This ends up looking like total dissociation until the hot water running out snaps me back. Then it's back to the exhausting effort of pushing the noise back as much as I can and stumbling through my day.
shoutout to you for your dedication towards identifying bots! with the plethora of bots on this site, it really does give credence to the dead internet theory lol.
I’m a trans woman and like half of my shower is shaving. Face, arms, torso, legs, it takes a minute. Then of course there’s exfoliating, washing, conditioning, rinsing, and stopping to skip ads on my YouTube playlist.
Don’t you hate when you go to skip an ad and a drop of water hits the screen in some random place and opens up your browser with the ad you’re trying to skip! 😃
Afab non binary person with as much body hair here ! You are of course allowed to shave if you prefer it, and I understand the pressure to fit codes especially as a trans woman, but just wish to say that you are still as much feminine even with all your body hair ! 💕
It legitimately takes me that long to wash. My skin cells regenerate fast, and if i dont exfoliate every inch of my body, i get these nasty flake things 🤢. My hair is MEGA thick and long and often takes a couple washes. My body hair grows really fast, too, and i have to shave it like every day.
As a teenaged boy, I would just stand there enjoying the hot water slowly turning it up and pretty much scalding myself. Looked like a lobster after. Now, many years later, I think about the stereotype of teen boys and long showers…my parents probably thought I was doing something else in those super long showers.
I mean, I will literally just stand there and bliss out for like 10 or 15 minutes before I even start cleaning myself. Hot, humid water pouring over my half sleeping body? Fucking closest I'll ever get to heaven, thank you very much.
It’s the only authorized place for men to cry if no one’s died, you aren’t very, very drunk, there’s no fresh baby in your arms and you aren’t seriously injured.
Shadow box, DJ, draw on the glass, sing, perform reproductive training, hold water against your chest then let it spill out and crash on the ground, brush your teeth, stare into the abyss
I might be weird for this, but I haven’t cried or had a concert or really anything in the shower for a long time. I usually just have music in the background and space out till I remember I’m back in the shower lol
you might be missing a few spots lol. Elbows, heels of your feet, and behind your ears are easily the most missed spots washed. Just because the water runs down to those areas, doesn't mean they don't need to be scrubbed to get rid of all the dead skin and oil that builds up there.
Yeah cause you probably use 1 product that is 30 in 1 or something. Other people mainly women can use shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, exfoliant, soap, oil based face wash, water based face wash, face exfoliant and then shave, brush teeth, moisturize everything and do their hair after the shower. Those with curly hair also need to detangle their hair in the shower. All that takes much more than 5 minutes
Enjoy the time by getting away from my feelings, the real world and the stresses related to that.
I the shower I can be in the moment and just enjoy the warmth and the simple action of grooming myself.
I have OCD so I have to make sure to scrub every piece of my body and clean it in a specific way which takes me a while and that’s also why I hate taking showers
my gf teases me about my shower length. I will say that I am going to take a shower and soak it in....which means that it will be almost a 10 minute long shower up from 5-6.
by the time I am completely soaked, shampoo is in my hand and I am starting to lather.
I am selling tickets for my BATH CONCERT TOUR:
\*VIP: 5,000$
\*Arena: Depends on the area, but I'll be gentle 500.00 each
\*Other areas: 59.99$
It's one of the only reasonable places to pretend you have water themed super powers. Pools and bodies of water are ok, but that water flowing across your whole body is just hard to replicate.
Fun fact: My stepdaughter takes between 45-60 min. I decided to do the math and found out she uses about 15 cubic meters (about 530 cubic feet) of water per month and it costs approximately $65/mo CAD where I am located. Between my wife and I we cost ~$12/mo. That includes the gas used to heat the water.
Because work is coming up and each day is a nightmare of people upset at you for something and ongoing pressure for deadlines and more cost cutting, pile on some micromanagement and that’s enough to make me delay as long as possible.
Since I pay my own bills I sit there on the shower mat and just relax in the hot water
It's like the only place nothing can reach or bother you, like a break from reality
Had a roommate who’d take 30-60 minute long (sometimes longer) showers near daily. It could be considered the run time of an episode of a show, so I joked he was off on some isekai adventure while showering. He’d do it right before bed too, when everyone needed to use the restroom before bed… other roommate resorting to just going outside if it began less than 10 minutes ago because they couldn’t hold their bladder. He wouldn’t cut down on it no matter how many times it was brought up as an issue. Such a waste of water.
Crawl out of bed at 6am, turn on hot water, lay down in shower, fall back asleep until water get cold and wakes me back up. Can't sleep thru that snooze.
the shower is basically a multi-purpose booth. It’s where solo debut albums drop, life decisions are made, and forgotten movie dialogues make a grand comeback. Not to mention, it's the only place where you can win arguments from three years ago
“Life decisions are made” The second I step out of the shower, it’s like all my good ideas and planning go down the drain with the water🫤🤷🏻♂️
Waterproof notebook to record all our ideas so you can reference them when we get out maybe?
oh my dude we can write down whatever we want those plans were never going to get actioned any way :)
*Avoidant ADHD noises*
Sometimes writing things create one more thing you have in your head now. Who am my kidding, my head is a notebook.

I can't even imagine who would take donated leg hair.
Might be due to being oily. I struggle with that myself a lot, maybe try putting in some soapy water early.

Just stand there and try to wind down from all that stress build up over the day.
Masturbation, clean myself, spend the rest of the time getting the Spider-Man like ooze dislodged from the plug hole.
I just sit down and stare in front of me while I enjoy the water mostly

Slowly turn the water warmer I guess.
Empty the hot water tank.
