Why Should I Shower?
Showering removes BO, dirt, bacteria and dead skin from your body. Removing BO is important because other people will not enjoy the smell of your BO. If you have strong BO people will tend to avoid contact with you. Removing dirt, bacteria and dead skin increases your health. Bacteria eat your dead skin. So by having a shower you not only remove the bacteria themselves, you also help to remove their food supply. It is important to remove bacteria because they cause BO and will cause an infection to any cuts or scrapes you may receive.
You will also have no hope of scoring with the opposite sex and that (despite what you may think) is an extremely bad thing.

How Often Should I Shower?
Ideally you should shower at least twice a week and after any physical exercise. You may get away with once every week but any longer than that and you will develop BO. Once month or year is definitely not recommended.

Should I Shower once or twice a day?
-Showering once a day is acceptable. (In the case that you don'
t much physical activity or labourous work, showering once every two days is fine.)
Often a combination of daytime exercise (biking to university, school or work, for example) and evening social activities suggest showering twice.

-__How Do I Shower?__
+[OTOH], more hot water = higher electricity or gas bills. Keep shower time down to the required time.
-First, get yourself a face cloth (also known as a flannel), a sponge or a loufe. Beginners may find that a face cloth is easier and more intuitive to use. Find out from your flat mates what the deal with soap or body wash is. In some flats everyone uses communal soap or body wash, in others everyone has their own or body wash. It is considered very inappropriate behavior to use someone else's personal soap or body wash without asking. If in doubt, get you own.
+!! How Do I Shower?
-Go to your bathroom. Close the door. You may feel more comfortable if you lock the door. Next
, without getting into the actual shower
, examine it. It will either have two taps
or a single mixer
. If it has two taps determine which the hot tap
is and which
the cold tap
is. The cold tap will have a "C" on it and/
or a blue marker
. The other will be the hot tap will have an "H" on it and/
or a red marker. Turn the cold tap on about half. Then turn the hot tap on full
. If you have a mixer
, simply turn it to about warm. While waiting for the water to warm up remove all of your clothes. Don't be embarrassed - most people do this every day. Adjust the cold tap or the mixer so that water is at a comfortable temperature. With a bit of practice
you find this very easy
.

-Now get in
the shower
. At first
you should just enjoy
the warm water flowing over your body
. Next, wet your face cloth
, sponge
or loufe (here after referred to as your body cleaner)
. Also wet your soap. Be careful - soap is very slippery when
it is wet
. If you ever find youself in
a public shower with
other guys and you drop
the soap __do not__ bend over to pick
it up
. Just leave it there
. Now, lather up your body cleaner
. If you have soap
, rub the soap with your body cleaner in such a way as
it "soaks up" a mixture of soap and water
. If you have body wash simply pour a small amount directly onto
the body cleaner. Now scrub yourself, quite literally, from head
to foot. Don�t scrub too hard or skin will go red and hurt. Close
your eyes and mouth while scrubbing your face
. Don'
t forget to clean your ears (
this may cause your hearing to improve)
. Your back may be hard to reach, but it
is important to scrub it as well

-Once this is completed

the soap of your body. Now is an excellent time to consider washing your hair. If
the shower has two taps turn the hot
tap off first
, then quickly turn
the cold tab off. If the shower has a mixer
, turn
it quickly to
the off position
. Now step out
the shower. Grab your towel and thoughly dry yourself (especially between your toes). Now is a great time to apply deodorant. Put your clothes on (a clean set is recommended)

+Please note
, in countries like France, you have
the “C” tap and
the “F”
tap, the “C” tap is not
the cold tap
, it’s
the hot tap

-If you have been
in the shower for a long time

find that
your finger tips
and toe tips
will "swell up"

t worry about
this -
it is perfectly normal and will go away shortly after you get out of the shower

s the difference between Deodorant and Anti-Persperant?
-Deodorant aims to reduce BO. Anti-Persperant aims to reduce persperation. Many products do both. Not all products work equally well for all people. In particular cyclists who cycle to school/work are often better to go for a ``
Sports''
brand. These brands have fewer volitile active ingrediants.
