Showering on your period?

Contributor: Gunsmoke Gunsmoke
My wife does not change her routine. She showers once per day - unless we have some especially messy sex - then she pops into the shower to rinse off.

I always shower once a day no matter what. When I'm on my period though I may shower twice a day depending.

Once a day like normal - although I will shower twice a day (every day) if I'm in a relationship.
But I use a menstral cup, so there isn't any nasties that warrant needing a shower more often during a period.
I will often use wipes throughout the day (again every day - not just during period) just to freshen up. I like feeling clean!

I don't really change anything. I typically bathe once a day (in the summer, regardless of my period),when we have sex and have become particularly messy, then sure, we will rinse off, but for the most part I see no need to bathe more often (unless of course it is winter, we live in Alaska, then we soak to get warm, sometimes twice a day).

I really don't change my bathing habits when I'm on my period unless I feel very gross, which is a given during my period. If I feel gross or have gotten gross (sweaty, dirty, whatever) I will bathe twice, but I usually only bathe once a day.

Keep wipes just in case, but only shower once.

I bathe once a day, period or no. It varies, of course, but the average is once a day. My period makes no difference.

Once per day.

If it's the weekend I'll usually take two. But that's not different from my typical routine.

No more than the usual once a day. I'm a strictly tampons kind of girl so there's never much mess to take care of.

Once a day unless I go to the gym. My periods do not influence my showers.

I shower twice a day but I only wash my hair once. I have colored hair and I hate shampooing more than I need to. I just feel gross when I'm bleeding and I cannot go to bed without showering again.

I usually shower once or twice a day, depending if my hair or face feels greasy or grimey or not. Typically, on my period, I feel ickier than usual. Living in a relatively warm climate, being on my period makes the humidity and warmer temperatures a bit more sticky and gross, so, like SecretToyLover, I like to have my shower in the morning and also one at night.

you read my mind. I hate periods.

I stick to once a day and will sometimes use wipes or a wash cloth to clean up if there is extra messiness.

Sometimes its heavier then normal, so you may feel the need to shower more, but I love the wipes, I carry them with my tampons when my period hits. They are awesome, keep the smell fresh, and are much easier to clean with then toilet tissue. As long as you use the products like you are supposed to, then there shouldn't be too big of a problem. I like to use the wipes after sex unless it is really messy, in which case, my man and I will hop in and clean up even if we've already showered that day.

I don't see any reason to change my bathing routine.

My flow is super heavy, so I shower 2 times a day to keep clean.

Once a day, as usual. I'd never stopped to think others might shower more often during periods.
