    Rotate like a rotisserie chicken.

    Amateur hour. I start to spin around like a gyroscope the moment I set foot in the shower

    Rotate. Why would you just wash one side?

    I start facing and rotate as I wash different areas.

    OP please tell me that you don't just wash one side of your body.

    Underneath? It's a "rain" shower, it doesn't matter how I stand.

    I don't care for those, not enough pressure for me to effectively wash away soap.

    I start by rotating for even heating. Soap my hair facing away, rinse it facing. Wash face facing. Conditioner hair away. Step completely out of the water to quickly scrub neck to feet with soapy loofa. Facing to rinse hair/face. The rotating and rinsing top to bottom.

    Done. In and out in 5-10 minutes depending on how dirty I was, and therefore how hard I had to scrub.

    I used to use a valve on the head itself to turn off the water completely during scrubbing, but I didn't get a new one when I moved so I got out of the habit.

    I should buy one again. Saves water, costs less.

    I turn around so both sides can get clean...

    Upside down so I get a good undercarriage wash.

    Depends what I'm scrubbing

  • source

    Predominantly away, unless whatever cleaning I'm doing requires otherwise.

    I start out facing away while I test the water on my not so delicate skin until I acclimate, or make whatever adjustments needed. Then I alternate depending on where I'm washing. I tend to handle my hair last, which always leads to a cascade of shampoo and conditioner foam down in all the crevices which then need to be rinsed again.

    Why not hair first? I always do hair first, top to bottom.

    I do hair, face, then conditioner in hair and let it set while I scrub the rest. Then rinse top down.

    It would make sense to do hair first.. but I think the reason I generally do it last is because while I'm waiting on the water/body acclimation, I'm already slathering with soap and as a result, hair care is pushed to the back as a result.

    Away, unless I'm stomping the turd down the drain, then I guess I'm facing towards it

    Shower time is centrifuge time

  • source
  • [–] 6 points 6 months ago

    Yeah, usually

  • [–] 6 points 6 months ago

    I sit. I close my eyes and tilt my head up, letting the drops fill my ears

  • source
  • [–] 6 points 6 months ago

    I do rapid backflips the whole shower to make sure I'm getting washed all over.

  • source

    Kind of both?

    I hold the shower head in my hand almost the entire time, but when I need both hands (e.g. shampooing) I put it back in the holder and face away from it.

    I can’t stand having the water running directly on my head or face - those waterfall shower heads are my nightmare scenario.

    ... What??
    I think your question just broke my brain.

    I tend to face away while soaping up, and I face the water when I'm rinsing off. I also shave in the shower, and I do that facing away.

    Both, I like a good old 360 scrub.

    What makes you think I shower?

    I'm like a hot dog on a roller

  • [–] 3 points 6 months ago

    Facing, but I use handheld one so I can point it anywhere I want. I was surprised this wasn't common in UK even though it's fully compatible.

    I face it and try to conquer the fear. Then I turn the shower on and swap between facing towards and away while the water warms up

    The water comes from above you.. How do you face towards or away from it?

    Most showerheads I've seen are attached to the wall some way or another, so it always comes from an angle.

    I actually find straight down to be really annoying and always struggle to keep water from streaming down into my eyes and face. I find the slight angle from a wall mounted shower head much more versatile for cleaning and comfort.

    That's some weird American thing.

    Most countries normally have their showerheads on a cord that you can grab and direct wherever you want. Plus, occasionally, a wall-mounted one added to it. But you can just put the corded shower on a mount to the same effect.

    Having a corded shower is pretty much the only way to wash properly without wasting tonnes of water.

    I do a hand stand and face the water

    Facing away is my default position when not actively rinsing anything. Either half these comments are trying to be funny with their quips about washing their whole body or they take the faster showers in the world with no soak/relax time
