Shower War

Not that I am blabbing, well yes I am, but a certain male of my acquaintance is sure that a woman takes 30 minutes in the average shower.

Now, as a 3 minute girl (including shampoo and conditioner) I dispute this but I am not being heard.

So, how long do the women of your household take in the average shower? And can we divide the ages into 'teenager and below' and 'older than teenager'?

And if you are or know of a long shower girl, please tell me what they are doing in there for all that time? :-)

Laugh, I am a documented bath girl...however when forced to get cold, stand under a spray, where only half of me is warm, then get cold again probably about 10min...but no way i can shower and shave legs...

I have a massive shower, and my ideal is to afford to put another shower head in so all of me is warm and wet...

Oh & I will go in the above teen catagory...

I haven't seen a teenage year in a LONG time, nor would I ever want to again. That having been said...
I'd love to indulge in a nice hot bath from time to time, but my legs are too long for our little bathtubs, so I have to make do with showers, the hotter the better.
Mine are usually between 8 & 15 minutes, depending on whether or not I shave, what all I shave, and whether or not I take the time to condition.
However, I'm looking forward to shorter showers when I lose my hair next month, until it's grown back enough to start shampooing again. ;)

HAHHAAA, we have water preserving showerhead which includes having to run around to get wet. I can't shave and wash hair in one showering session. If only showering I'm under 5 mins. Shaving add five mins and hair is done jumping in and out turning the water on and off (wet hair, jump out massage shampoo, jump in and wash out, jump out add conditioner, jump in wash it out) HAHHAHHAAAA Hair is down to bum though. Now the TEENAGE BOYS take 30 mins no matter or whatever they are doing! Bearman 15.

Okay, so there is a range of answers but can I say that they are all well under the 30 minutes - including shampooing, conditioning and the shaving moments :-)

I take about 10-15 minutes. I only wash and condition my hair every other day, the same with shaving. However, I just bought a safety razor with a wicked looking double edged blade and I think that might add some time until I get a little more skilled with it.
