What are your bath routines?

It takes me in a fair amount of time to take a bath because I take time in rubbing the loofah and kneading my hair with conditioner...I thought of asking this because my favorite aunt used to clean her nails, wash her clothes(the clothes she has on before taking a bath), clean the bathroom, and do the rest of the usual routines every time she takes a bath, and she does that every day! Good thing she didn't get married or have any children! Every time she invites us to tag along with her when she goes to town and buy something we had to wait for such a long time, that we used to time her in the bathroom and sometimes it goes as high as 2hrs! Are there anyone here like my aunt?

I used to have a gal that I ran around with that was like this. She and I would go out and the amount of time it took her to get ready was probably longer than the two hours. She had the car, I didn't so I would just ask when she would be there to pick me up and I was ready well before that time usually. I would dink around, listen to music and tidy up around the apartment. Then when it was a half hour past the time she said she would to pick me up I would call her and get an update. Several times when i was at her place and we were getting ready to go someplace she did everything under the sun after she was ready to go. SHe would vaccum, wash dishes, clean the bathroom, etc. I am setting there going COME ON ALREADY. SHe used to just drive me nuts.

She didn't drive me nuts though, she's so nice aside from this little quirk she has, she's the best aunt in the world, my cousins and I think so, so waiting for her is a small payment for everything she's done for us, like defend us from her evil sister, my other maiden aunt

My cousin is almost similar to your aunt! It takes her almost 2 hours in the bathroom but she doesn't wash her clothes, just her underwear and cleaning herself all over! In my case, I just shampoo my hair, then soap my body while the shampoo is still on my hair, then wash it off and apply conditioner, then scrub my body again till i remove all the grime and dirt ahahah! Then I'm done! The longest I stay in the shower I think is just 20 minutes.

My cousins kid around that I'm like my aunt, if I do all the things she does then I'd be the next her, good thing for me is that I don't wash my clothes or underwear or clean the bathroom but it takes me 30 minutes to finish taking a bath...and longer if I don't have any appointment...

My shower time can last anwhere from 20 minutes to 40 minutes. When I take the time to curl my hair, it can very easily turn into an hour. No, I don't clean the bathroom, wash my clothes, etc., when taking a shower. While I do clean the tub after showering, my regular cleaning day is usually Saturday morning. Still, I take long showers. It takes a while to wash my hair twice, and then condiiton, followed by everything else. Yet, the real reason that I stay in so long is because it is so relaxing. I just love it.

2 hrs? Wow! Thats a lot of time! Do you get tired of taking a bath daily? I don't have that much routine in taking a bath, but I always make sure I've clean my body in the way I'm doing it everyday. I take a bath twice a day and I feel satisfied about it. I also have read in other blogs that it is recommend to shampoo your hair twice for the dirty to be washed out and to supply your hair with the nutrients that your shampoo has. Also the kind of soap that you will use should be good because some bath soap dries the body.

I am usually in the bathroom a half hour or less. I use a shower. I do usually wash my hair and leave a conditioner in for awhile. I will take the time, on occasion, to clean while I am in there, but not always.I can be done in fifteen minutes if I need to be. I do like to put on lotion and moisturizer on my face after wards.

Yes, I have a friend who takes lot of time to take bath. She actually takes more than 1/2 an hour to take bath while going to office. On weekends she takes nearly 2 hours to finish her bath. I hardly take 10 minutes even for headbath too.

Hello! I don't quite have a routine. Sometimes I apply shampoo and conditioner, sometimes I also apply other products. My bath can go from 7 minutes to half an hour, never passing that. Depending on the level of hurry that I find myself at, I'll be faster. Actually, I don't take baths, I take showers, so that might make it faster than the regular timing for the other myLotters who use bathtubs. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

approximately, i take at least 15 minutes if in a hurry, close to one hour for loosen-up. This cover, brushing my nails, foot. Whole body unsoilling with special soap. Hair wash and so on... lots of bath ritual everyday.

Not me, I am pretty quick with these things. And I don't take baths either usually, I shower instead, which is faster.

I definitely wouldn't take a two hour bath! When I take a bath it takes maybe 20-30 minutes, and it's maybe once a week. I just put something nice smelling in the bath and relax, I don't have any major routine. Maybe that's why it doesn't take very long!
