Probably 30 minutes....my body requires a lot of work. I shampoo, condition, then I scratch dead skin (?) off for the longest time...it's weird, then after I've got all the nasty skin or whatever it is off I have to use body wash...which I still hate because I have yet to find something that doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky or slimy.

Lace-Bane takes about 45 minutes to an hour on average when alone :|. That's just to mean that if he's at someone else's house he only takes 15 minutes so he doesn't use all of the hot water... or usually he waits until everyone is asleep and will not be needing the hot water for a little while :|. Ooh... and he gets scared taking showers in places over sceptic tanks, and at those places only takes 10 minutes due to fear :|.

When at home alone though he often gets lost in thought in the shower since the sound of the falling water is so calming... so he forgets time and only notices it's been awhile when the water starts running cool :oops:. He even... fell asleep against the shower wall once and woke up to ice cold water :oops:

Shower = 45 min. If I'm taking a bath, though, I tend to stay in there until someone kicks me out, which could be as long as 4 hours.

It depends on what I'm doing. If I'm dirty; I scrub myself more & use shampoo in my hair. If I'm shaving as well; it can take me over 45 minuets. I don't move fast & I have bad fine motor-skills. Sometimes when I'm feeling sore or sick; I take a long shower/bath because the warm water helps me feel better; I sometimes stay in till I quit getting hot water. A normal shower takes me about 20 minutes

Water on to water off in the shower; fifteen minutes, just about. That includes a thorough shampoo and shave.

I've only got a shower here and I hate it! I run in, wash as fast as I possibly can whilst writhing around trying to avoid the water as much as I possibly can and run out!

10 minutes. I used to have a great power shower that was so relaxing, but my current one is a bit weedy. It runs quite cold in winter, and my showers are very speedy as a result. I don't like baths. They make me feel trapped and vulnerable.

Edit: Another reason I am quite fast is I worry about how much money it is costing me. Are water meters not common in other countries?

Weekday mornings, under five minutes. In, baby shampoo whizzed through hair and then all over body on a scrunchie sponge - then whooshed off. For a woman, I'm pretty low maintenance but I promise I'm scrupulously clean! I don't understand why I can scrub my body with a scrunchie, but writhe in agony if I wear anything with the tiniest amount of wool in it.

Weekends: ten minutes. My teenage daughters tell me off if I don't do basic de-fuzzing at least occasionally :roll: .

I love warm water and long showers. I usually spend like 45-60 minutes in a shower. It takes even longer if I'm taking a bath.

I normally take about 30 minutes in the shower. Baths are for relaxing in afterwards if I'm really sore.
