I was astonished. A friend who showers a light speed at the gym so she can get back to work also showers that fast first thing in the morning. 5 minutes tops. She and her 2 boys are up at 7:00 a.m. and out the door at 7:15 a.m. everyday! Another friend's son showers in 3 minutes and that includes drying. Do you know any speed showering people?

I'm guessing these aren't teenage boys...

In and out for me, 5 minutes is pretty typical. Sometimes I have suds, I just dry them off and keep going.

I'm guessing these aren't teenage boys... Adults in their twenties. One was a teenage boy who has grown up! The woman has two young sons. I can't even get dressed that fast much less two kids and in winter coats.

5-minute showers can be done pretty easily - if you have a set routine - washing from head down - so the suds rinse off as you work your way to your feet - if you're also shampooing as well, it might take 10-15 min tops with same order of washing. Do shampooing first, rinse, then start working your way down.

I can't even do it that quick with my long bath scrubby and it is fast.

No way! The shower is one of the few places a mom can get a little peace. In fact, I LOVE a good hot shower to help me wake up.

I usually take a half hour in the shower. Then about another half hour for hair and makeup. On the weekend it's no makeup and I may not even wash my hair.

If I'm going to have a "Calgon Take Me Away" moment, I do it like this:

Up at 3:55 am. Showered, dressed, makeup and out the door at 4:30.
I have long curly hair. I comb it out in the shower with conditioner as part of the routine and don't dry it. Saves a lot of time and frizz.

I find that difficult to believe - unless you're there timing them. It takes at least 5 min to drag yourself out of bed, turn on the shower to warm up the water, grab a towel and get naked. Then as you say, a 5 min shower - there's 10 min gone already. Then another probably 5 or so minutes to dry off. If that includes blow-drying hair, make that 15 or 20 more min. So now we're up to about 45 min gone.
Then you have to get dressed, make sure you have everything you'll need for the day with you, and get out the door. Probably another 20 min or more. What about coffee or a quick bite to eat? If she's hustling two sleepy boys out the door with her, I highly doubt all that can be done in 15 minutes!

I can do a 5 minute shower but for me its the exception, not the norm. I prefer at least a 10 - 15 minute shower.

I can be out the door in 15-20 minutes. I might look like crap, but I'm up, showered, hair dried, dogs let out and fed, and I'm out the door. I hate mornings! God help anything that stands in the way of my routine.

If I'm not washing my hair I can shower in about 5 minutes. I only wash my hair 3 days a week. When I wash my hair it takes me between 15 and 20 minutes. Hair wash day is also shave my legs day so that adds to the time. I'm efficient and I'm not interested in dragging out my shower routine. Because once I'm out of the shower, the do my hair and make up routine takes a LONG TIME. So i have to save my time for that

Air dry is the only acceptable option. It will probably be 2 degrees when I leave for work in the morning.

As far as I know, the boys have short hair. She has longer hair but probably doesn't wash it every morning. The weather is so cold here, it's unwise to go out with wet hair. Their clothing is probably laid out the night before. As far as gathering things together to get out the door, it's probably all ready before they go to bed. I'm impressed.

I've never tried it, so I can't confirm or deny.

Hell, I set my alarm clock a half hour before I have to get up. When it goes off, I wake up the girls and get back in bed and turn on the news. Rinse and repeat two more times and we finally start getting ready.

I'm out the door in 30 minutes. I shower at night. That's 20-25 minutes. My hair takes forever and a day to air dry. If I put it up then it never dries. Whether I blow dry it straight or let it air dry there's still some frizz.

I remember my mother warning me that "I'll catch a cold in my kidneys" if I sit on cement.

I wouldn't go outside in near or below freezing point temps with wet hair. I'd rather get up 1/2 hr earlier so I'd have time to dry it.
I'm in the habit of washing/blow-drying my (long) hair in the evening. Saves a lot of time for the morning routine. Shower caps are a dime a dozen.

Everyone should go out in freezing weather with wet hair. It's kind of fun. If it's cold enough it freezes and you can hear the locks tinkle against each other as you move...very festive. Just don't try to bend the strands.

I laughed so hard the critter squeaked so loud and I jumped and woke my nephew up. The couch is right above my computer desk.
