Depends on what I did that day. If the weather is bad and all I do is sit around the house then probably 5 or 6 minutes. But if I am outside working (mowing, weed-whacking, burning branches etc) then probably 15 to 20 minutes.

In terms of getting undressed and then shower and then get out and dry off and then leave the bathroom it's pretty much 30min or close to it. so actual in shower time I would guess probably 20min-ish. but I do a thorough job cleaning myself and I don't rush. it's pretty safe for me to say I am as clean or cleaner than most people when I get out of the shower as I don't half ass cleaning myself. I may be a little OCD but I would rather be a little on the cautious side than rush and half-ass things. I don't know how someone can only take 5-10min as I would really have to rush to get in and out that quick while doing a proper job cleaning my ENTIRE body with soap/wash cloth. I would figure AT LEAST 10min+ minimum (in the shower itself) unless your half-assing cleaning yourself or you move really fast. but with that said... my entire get ready time, like from start range of shower (like getting undressed), finish showering, get dressed etc with clothes/shoes, along with shaving, is probably more like 1 hour or so, more than 30min for sure. like if I absolutely had to rush really quick I am sure I could cut quite a bit of time off my general process but I would really have to rush things or start half-assing the cleaning process. I typically shower every other day with maybe one time a week being 3 days (i.e. 2-2-3 pattern or a variance of that). like say something like Sunday/Wednesday/Friday (or some variance of the 2-2-3 pattern) as I figure getting in the shower every day is a bit overkill unless your really sweaty etc and I figure anything over 3 days MAX is nasty as I figure everyone should shower a bare minimum of twice a week AT THE VERY LEAST but three times is fairly safe and anything over 4 times is probably a little overkill unless you happen to do work that makes you sweat a lot. so basically outside of those doing strenuous work showering 3-4 times a week is good and even for the lazy type you got to do at least twice a week otherwise that's going to get quite nasty. basically you can really notice stuff getting nasty beyond 3 days, like to 4 or 5 days(I don't think I ever went more than 5 days before), which is why I use 3 as a general limit. p.s. but if I had to take my best guess... most people are probably somewhere around 15min give or take for a showering process itself. RobertoGood. that's what I would consider normal is between that range as any quicker than 10min is nasty and any longer than 30min is probably OCD etc. UtpeExactly. it's simply cleaner that way as to me this really goes without saying.

i usually shower but i sometime take a bath -- especially if i need to soak muscles or something.
i was apparently notorious for taking long showers growing up -- to be honest i did spend a bit of time just letting the water pound my back or something but by bit of time i mean like a minute tops. and i did have to do certain things back then because of how my hair was and how we had hard water -- dad was too cheap to get a water softener installed. but to be honest, that shower on average was like 20 minutes.
i shower every day -- depending on what i am doing -- if i am doing a lot of work or have a big todo -- i will probably shower twice. i really can't go to bed with my hair dry anymore. my daily shower happens at night. always. i usually flip from warm/hot in the beginning and then cool as the shower goes on.
now, i still take about 20 minutes but i do a lot more than i used to. i now shave my arms in their entirety as i have dark hair like all over and the hair on my arms was pretty predominant. now it's like Seinfeld when he starts shaving his chest... i can't stop! srsly, it is so itchy at the end of the day.
i also have to shave my face and that takes 10 seconds. yes i am a woman. yes the dark hair really IS all over and my face is effected because of a thyroid condition that i am now stuck with regardless of medical intervention. i have had electrolysis and laser treatments and don't get me started -- they both made them worse so fk that.
i also shave my legs every day -- gross and scratchy if i don't. i even tried forgoing the legs once -- ended up crying at 1am heading to the bathroom for another shower for the legs only they were so uncomfortable! and interestingly... i don't take that long doing it.
and i have to do a special regimen of shower things -- shampoo with a regular shampoo -- this cleans the hair so that my dandruff/psoriasis shampoo can do its job without cleaning the hair strands. then comes the psoriasis shampoo. then conditioner -- i must have conditioner. my hair feels like wax without it.
and while things are getting tingly and conditioned i start on the shaving. surprisingly the shaving takes less than 3 minutes. it really does. even with 5 areas to do. and in concert with shaving comes the cleansing of these areas so win-wins all around.
then i get out and lie on my bed or couch with just the towel -- i don't like immediately dressing or getting ready for bed right after the shower. i like to lounge for at least a few minutes.

Depends on whether I'm in a rush. I can easily spend half an hour in the shower, a nice hot shower is one of lifes little luxuries.

When it is cold I don't feel like leaving the hot water. On workdays I spend around 15 minutes but on weekends I usually spend about 45 minutes if it is cold. I rarely shower. though I do wash me feet and hands a lot. i need to know more.

Depends on which body wash I'm using
I'm weird. I don't like using the same scent of soap longer than 2 days in a row. I have like 6 body washes in my shower right now.
Most are sulfate free and some don't foam up as much as the others, so it takes longer to wash my body with.
but I can be as little as 3 minutes or as long as 15-20

When I am taking a show to clean myself, it usually takes me maybe 10 minutes.
When I take a shower to relax I stay in until the water gets cold. That is usually about 20 minutes.
