I've just found out I've been taking "Navy showers" all my life.
>A Navy shower is a method of showering that allows for significant conservation of water and energy by turning off the flow of water in the middle portion of the shower while lathering. The total running time of this kind of shower can last less than two minutes – using an initial thirty seconds or so to get wet, followed by shutting off the water, using soap and shampoo and lathering, then rinsing for a minute or less.
Does this happen iyc?

I've literally never turned off my water mid-shower just to lather.
>>
Why not just step away from the water?
>>
i remember being taught this in home economics class in 9th grade

however i live in a rented apartment with central heating and water included in the rent, so i take long, hot showers and usually end up sitting down for the final 15 minutes
>>
>>217789288
I like to stay a little bit longer than two minutes, but yeah, I turn the water off mid-shower as well
>>
>>217789452
Because the point is to conserve water and just stepping away from the stream Doesnt achieve that?

>>217789312

bruh

>>217789288
I tend to take longer showers, but yes I turn it off in the middle to apply shampoo, that seemed like a no brainer to me
>>
>>217789388
>>217789556
what?
>>
>>217789288
How do you even use soap while the water is running? It gets instantly washed away before you have a chance to lather yourself with it.
>>
>>217789312
All human shower that way, yes.

Water keeps falling from the sky all the time where I live
Most of the earth is covered in it
This is a desertfag problem PBS tried to foist on the rest of us
>But the processing!
Water processing doesn't take much electricity compared to actual domestic electricity
>>
>>217789652
Get a bigger shower
>>
>>217789288
that's how I've been showering my whole life
>>
I figured showering for long uses more water so I take baths instead.
>>
>>217789652
Scrub self with soap, causing the soap remove the dirt, while the soap and dirt washes away.
Why do you think the suds need to sit on your skin? What do you think that is doing that scrubbing with suds isn't? You know you can rub soap on a washcloth or flip it in your hands to generate suds, right?
Or just use body wash if you're special ed.
Europeans have so many strange psychological problems with basic things.

>>217789288
We have so much water for us it would be like Bedouins conserving sand
I also cool boiled eggs by keeping them in pot under running cold water for 10 minutes

Why do Meds consume so much tap water while they have water shortage?
>>
>>217789288
I bought a handheld shower head that has a button to stop the flow and I started using that. I've been more efficient.

I love the tub in my second apartment, my baths could take a hour or more. This cuckshed I have here is degrading but brings good memories from being conscripted.
