When you take a shower...

  1. Shampoo
  2. Conditioner–let it sit
  3. Left arm
  4. Right arm
  5. Chest & stomach
  6. legs
  7. back
  8. naughty bits
  9. rinse out conditioner
  10. face (facial cleanser not shower gel nor with washcloth)

I have a little foot thingie that clings to the floor of the bathtub that I use while I’m doing the rest of it. You just squirt the shower gel into that and scrub first one foot & then the other. It’s almost better than sex!

And if I’m shaving my legs I do that after conditioner application but before washing.

  1. shampoo hair and rinse
  2. add conditioner and try to keep hair out of the aim of the shower head
  3. use soap or body wash to wash right arm, the right arm
  4. torso starting with chest and ending with butt
  5. Left leg then right leg
  6. put either apricot scrub or oil free acne cleaner on face(never soap!)
  7. Use nail brush on finger nails, the thoughly scrub backs of hands and fingers with the larger side of the brush (only in the winter) after soaping it up
  8. Rinse off conditioner and face cleaner.

On leg shaving days that’s number 3, and everything else is bumped down one.

Body first, then the hair.

Face first - ALWAYS ( I hear you Grelby !)

Body in whatever order I feel like at the moment

And last but not least - Hair

P.S. Does this remind anyone else of “Father Knows Best?”

Oh, and I’m female. :slight_smile:

I used to do that, when I lived in the dorm (communal bathrooms, huzzah! :rolleyes: ). It’s more convenient that way.

Oddly, while I had no qualms about spitting toothpaste foam in a shower that other people are going to use, I never do it anymore now that I have my own bathroom… :smiley:

  1. Shampoo hair
  2. Rinse hair
  3. Wash face – apricot scrub or foaming facial cleanser, both with my hands
  4. Wash body, using shower scrubby thing, in this order:
    Chest
    Armpits
    Arms
    Tummy
    Back & Neck
    Naughty Bits
  5. Rinse body parts that didn’t get rinsed while washing other body parts
  6. Shave armpits, every couple of days (in winter, anyway)
  7. Shave legs, every few months (or if I’m going to wear a skirt)
  8. Get out, dry off, try to remember to spray shower with daily cleaner so I don’t every have to scrub. :smiley:

I brush my teeth and do all the rest of it after my shower – I feel much more awake and able to deal with sticking little bits of plastic in my eyes once I’m clean. :slight_smile:

I’m suppoed to wash my hair??!!??
All kidding aside. I have no order. Sometimes I shave my face, then hair, then body. Other times I wash body, shave, then hair.

I also might note I use the same soap for everything. I don’t buy saving cream/gel or shampoo. I just use a liquid type soap for everything. Perhaps that’s why I have no order. :smiley:

I brush my teeth before I get in the shower. I like to feel clean all over when I get out. But I won’t brush my teeth in the shower…what if I drop the toothbrush and it gets all soapy and cruddy from body runoff?

ANYWAY

I wash my hair first

Massage in conditioner to let it sit

Wash my face

Wash my body from neck to toes…I use a scrubby washcloth for everything but boobs, hoohah, and buttcrack

Rinse out conditioner.

If it’s a shaving day, then I shave (I shave last to get the hair soft and the skin exfoliated): the order is armpits, then I put shaving gel on my left leg then shave my left upper leg, then left lower; then put shaving gel on my right leg and shave the upper leg then lower, then I shave my hoohah hair.

Then wash my ear cartilage piercing with special soap.

Finally I squeeze the water out of my hair, turn off the shower and dry off.

and I won’t get into my drying off routine, 'cause the showering routine was bad enough for you guys to read, if you chose to read it, that is :smiley:

Lorie

Wash face with washcloth
Wash hair
Condition
Shave pits and legs
rinse out conditioner
use foo foo ball start with arms
chest
legs
feet
naughty parts

dry off hair, put in hair clip
Call hubby to bring baby up to she can have her bath

But hubby does his hair last, if you’re hair is dirty, and you wash it last, you’re getting dirt all over your clean body.
He used to use bar soap and his hands to wash body, but hes started using the foo foo ball I bought him.

Hair
Face
Everything else.

I rarely use conditioner because my hair is so fine and straight, conditioner just makes it moreso.

I shave in the shower - but it’s infrequently. Seems as I’ve gotten older, my pits and legs don’t get as fuzzy as fast.

After I’ve toweled off and combed my hair, I brush my teeth.

I tend to do all of these rather fast - I’ve got more important things to do than loll about in the bathroom.

Not only don’t I have a routine in the shower, I don’t even pay attention to what I’m doing. My shower time is used for deep thoughts, planning my future, writing stories, composing songs, and debating things I’ve recently read on the SDMB.

This means that my left arm invariably gets the most attention, because it’s easiest. I’m sure that sometimes it gets washed 10 or 12 times over the course of a shower. At some point I’ll remember to do my hair. Unfortunately, once it’s rinsed off, I’ll have zero memory of whether I washed it or not, so I’ll frequently wash it again. For a while I tried turning the shampoo bottle upside down after I used it to keep track, but then I could never remember if I’d actually turned the bottle over or not.

I always do my pits/naughty bits just before I turn off the water, in case I missed them earlier.

Male checking in.

Shave first (at sink) every other day even though I have a heavy beard. Actually used to shave after my shower.

Shower daily with soap but no washcloth.

And I hate it when I can’t remember if I have washed my hair.
