Showering on your period?

Contributor: TheirPet TheirPet
I usually shower once a day. My cycle doesn't influence whether or not I shower probably because I use a menstrual cup. If I get sweaty or gross with yard work or gym activities I'll take a second shower.

I don't feel like I have to more than normal, so once a day.

I usually shower every two days, but on my period I'm more likely to shower every day.

I am really impressed by y'all that take showers so often. I can hardly muster the motivation to do it a few times a week! I generally wait till my hair looks dirty or I happen to smell unpleasant!

I do use a menstrual cup for my period though, and the whole thing seems much more hygienic in my opinion.

okay maybe that was TMI....oh well!

My period doesnt affect my showering, which is much less frequently then the options..

Back when I had normal periods, I'd shower once a day like usual. The only change would be to definitely shower instead of taking a bath. Now I don't really have much of a period because of my IUD. So it really isn't a consideration anymore.

I shower as much as usual. And if I feel dirty, I just use wipes.

No different than usual. I do really like showering on my period, though; makes me feel clean.

I do shower more on my period, not just to be clean, but the hot water helps with the cramps. I probably shower several times a day if my cramps are really bad.

Once a day, unless I have sex then it's twice a day.

Once a day, but i'll take a wash cloth, or baby wipe to the area helps keep feeling normal.

Once a day. No different than any other day. Sometimes I'll use a wipe if I start to feel gross but my period doesn't really give me much grief. Being on the pill helps keep it light and short. Some days aren't great though, those days I use a wipe rather than showering again.

Once, unless if it was a very hot day (I live in the southern US), but that's even when I'm not on my period.
