I can honestly say I hate the shower. It makes me feel claustrophobic. I’m in & out in a flash. I use the bathroom sink in between. So I think my water usage is very minimal. I sound filthy don’t I for someone that makes soap, lmao. I miss my bath in my old house terribly. I loved a good soak, emerging looking like wrinkled prune.

HI Two Sheep Soapery - Made me bust out laughing with your wrinkly prune story! I know what you mean about feeling claustrophobic - some shower stalls are way too small for my liking and make me want to jump out as fast as possible, so I guess the first thing is to have a shower area that is inviting and roomy enough.

Hi Lisa :) This is so interesting! I'm always paranoid about my habits (ecology wise), thank you for sharing your ideas around this subject.

Lately I've been worrying about how all my amazing DIY oil based products affect water contamination. In the kitchen I save used oil for recollection and recycling but in the shower all goes down the drain! From my scrub to my face wash, toothpaste and oil pulling.

Thought you may have some thoughts over this :)

HI Unknown - you make a valid point about considering what we pour down our drains. I used to rinse away cleansing bars that were full of cocoa butter and clays until I got a peek at what it did to the plumbing system. Now I remove with a moist cotton round or one of the many hand-crocheted rounds I have been gifted over time. It is always part of my considerations when looking at ingredients for rinse-off products. A biggie with drains, sewers and water cleanliness is washing machines. I switched to soapnuts many years ago for most of my laundry, but even that has it's negative sides when you consider the environment. I think if we aim to 'do the least environmental damage as possible' we're already on a very positive path.

Hi Lisa, this is a brilliant idea to save water usage during the shower. Living in the Western world we have no idea how precious water resource is. Look at the modern shower head designs, they look luxurious but consume max water waste. Every step of saving mother earth counts if we can change our habit of showering. By the way, you are truly inspirational.

Best Lisa
