We have timed it since the energy crisis too Ann and both take 4 mins to shower and do hair as well now. (my hair is very short) Pre pandemic we showered every day, sometimes twice if we were out working in the garden in the heat, but now we skip the odd day if we aren't going out anywhere.......saves water and gas.

:-D I timed it when reducing shower time was given as a way of saving water.

I shower once a year whether I need to or not.
So far I haven't actually timed it.

Our shower indicates how long the water was running when it is stopped so I know fairly accurately how long I take. It used to be between four and a half and five minutes but since the price rises I have managed to get it down to between two and three quarter and three and a quarter minutes.

I shower every day and it takes about 5 mins

A bit longer when I also wash my hair

I only have a shower and no bath as we remodelled the bathroom when hubby was getting too unsteady on his feet to use the bath which we also had a shower over .

We replaced it with a large corner walk in shower

About 4 minutes, and at the moment I am only showering when I need to.

Our main bathroom has been completely gutted for renovations. The tiler is due today and then the plumber will be back to fit the shower, wash basin and bath.

My watch isn’t waterproof so I don’t know ;-)

Its’s not long, I also don’t shower everyday and wash my hair when I do.

A flannel, soap and some water does a good job.

I take about 10 minutes (hair washing and rinsing included) and I do shower every day.
