Do you take 'Navy' showers?

I do.
Turn on shower, get wet, turn off shower.
Soap up.
Turn on shower, rinse off, turn off shower.
You'd be amazed at how much water/money you save that way.

Another friendly message for your favorite local tree-hugger.

1. Yes

But only because my "shower" is an old tub with a handheld sprayer thingy.

5. The injections help.

But yes, I think any way to conserve water in the shower is an admirable goal. As a former midshipman, I say: "Go Navy!"

Seriously, though, I'm no spartan when it comes to showering.

9. PTA bath?

Pits, tits and ass- for when you have just a sink or anything else you won't fit your body in. Though I guess guys don't worry about the T part.

11. That's mostly what I do

I do let it drizzle a little for sudsing and I do an extra on/off to rinse my shampoo or I get it in my eyes. I originally started doing that when I had an apartment that had crappy water pressure and sometimes in the middle of a shower it would just cut off and I'd have to sit and wait for more water. Saves water, so I just kept doing it.

It is people like you whose efforts make it possible for people like ME, to take long steamy wait until the last drop of hot water runs out type showers.

Thank you!!!!

18. Sometimes, but it's different if you need both shampoo and conditioner.

I turn off the water once the shampoo is rinsed, then add conditioner and soap up.

I am also guilty of turning off the water while I wash my hands. :blush: I worked in restaurants & bars for years, then in an elementary school, so I'm a big fan of thorough handwashing.

Oh, yeah, and when I brush my teeth, too.

19. Yup, I do

I grew up on a farm/ranch that used well water for the farm animals as well as for the people. Water conservation was important. I've kept the habit even though I have long since left the farm....
