I don't see how brushing your teeth in the shower saves time. Unless your brushing while you shampoo or something, you're just making your shower longer, which wastes more water.
I brush my teeth after applying the conditioner in my hair. Being done brushing signifies it is time to rinse out the conditioner
I just put my conditioner in before I wash the rest of my body, then I rinse everything off at once.
I stand there enjoying the hot water and zoning out letting my mind wander. May as well do something useful while I’m just standing there anyway.
Exactly. Plus I rather stand under the hot water instead of standing in the bathroom which is not as warm, in the cold weather.
It's a habit I picked up in basic training. We had 50 girls to 12 shower heads, and we really didn't get much time for all of us to shower at all in the first couple weeks (the time constraint was relaxed after a bit though)
The tooth brushing deal though I think was because our TI would find the tiniest speck of water in the sinks after lights out and absolutely lose his shit. So we only used the sinks to wash our hands, so we didn't accidentally leave toothpaste in the bowl of the sink and miss it while cleaning up for the evening.
Either way, it's just a habit that's stuck with me through the years.
Lil flippy knob at the top of the shower head to pause the water is a great water saver. You only really need the water running for like 20% of your time in the shower. I love brushing my teeth in the shower, you can get toothpaste everywhere and then just rinse it off without making a huge mess at the sink, way easier to rinse your mouth with water angled down from above than from a sink below.
I get cold just thinking about this. Turning off the shower is my least favourite part of showering. Why repeat the experience several times in one session?
ya like what psychopath turns the water off mid shower
That other commenter! Loves edging their shower, apparently...
Do you leave the windows open? My bathroom is so steamy and hot that I don't notice it, it's hard to lotion up after with all the steam still hanging around keeping my skin wet even with repeated toweling. But I take very hot showers in a very small bathroom. It's only cold when I open the door. I do have to clean red water mold off the walls and ceiling a lot, it would probably be better to keep the place ventilated while I shower.
No exhaust fan?
Nope. My house was built in 1915 and doesn't have fancy things like exhaust fans, kitchen or bathroom. The bathroom didn't have a toilet until the 1930s, it was literally just a bath room. They had an outhouse.
The water takes like a minute to heat up here, so I start brushing my teeth while it's heating up and I finish in the shower
is there a /c/nocontext ?
oh
I tried this. Turns out that sonicare toothbrushes are only water resistant and will fail eventually when used in the shower every day. 0/10 Don't recommend.
Otherwise, if you spend a lot of time daydreaming in the shower to begin with, this can save a few minutes.
in other words; you can save water by doing less. nice life hack too
