Not counting your sink, how many bottles of product do you have inside your shower?

Washing my hair this morning, I suddenly realized I have so much stuff in there, but I just know I'm not the only one.

Four bottles of shampoo, two bottles of conditioner, one tube of conditioner, two bottles of shower gel (one manly, one girly), two bars of Lush soaps, a Lush bar shampoo and tub of conditioner, all in various states of use.

And I won't count 2 disposable razors, one nail brush and blue pumice "sponge", 2 gel poufs and the toothbrush in the corner that I use to clean the grout.

I don't believe it's consumerism at work. I just like to smell good and pamper myself and really enjoy my shower. And I like choices that fit my moods.

What's in your shower?

I have two sets of shampoo and conditioner (one Aveda, one Aussie), one bottle of shower gel, a bar of soap, and facewash.

Outside of the shower, I have my razor & extra blades, my pumice foot file thinger, and my Clarisonic.

Interesting question!

I streamline the amount of product in my shower every now and again, as I live with two guys who don't really appreciate me taking over the shower with my girl stuff.

So, right now it's down to Paul Mitchell shampoo and conditioner, Dove body wash, a daily use Neutrogena face wash, Clinique exfoliating scrub, my Gillette Mach 3 razor, and my Kiss My Face Lavender and Shea Butter Moisture Shave. I have a pouf and a scrub brush, too.

Let's see, I have one shampoo, one conditioner, one little tube of conditioner from my hair color box, some body wash, some Lush shower gel (seriously the best stuff ever!), face wash and a pouf. Not too much stuff in my opinion.

Almost identical to Shani & Dave, hehe: 2 Costco-size bottles of shampoo/conditioner, 1 bottle of my face wash, 1 bar of soap, and my razor.

I dislike crowded showers. I just tossed/recycled an empty can of shaving gel, a near-empty bottle of shower gel, and a pouf.

Sidenote: I had no idea that Lush was so popular... I've only seen it in Iceland. Ktspktsp bought me what looks like a dissolvable ball of really yummy-smelling stuff for Christmas, but I don't think it's soap... any clues? Do I have to have a bathtub to use it? We only have a tiny shower stall.

If it's a bath bomb, I can't see it being used any other way. I don't have a tub but used my first Lush item (also a gift) on a weekend getaway when I had a spa tub in the room.

That's what got me curious about the rest of the Lush products. A store's about to open about an hour from me, but I was in the Orlando area and happened on a store there. This was only in November, and I've been a mega-Lush 'ho since I use their catalogues and website now, though.

It does sound like a bath bomb. You can save it for a time when you do have a bathtub to use it in or if you can stopper your shower, you can crumble it into the water at your feet and that will release the smell. If you can't do either of those, you can crumble a little and mix it with some water and put it directly on your skin to make it soft. Good luck.

Well, I'm odd (wo)man out then I guess. I have very fine hair (a curse no doubt) and have found the using ivory or jergens bar soap works just great. So I have half a bar of soap and a fingernail brush that I use body-wide. No shampoos, no conditioners, no razor (fine, thin hair on body is a blessing), no lotions or potions.

In an attempt at minimizing body products, I have used only a bar of ivory soap for my hair and body for months at a time. Unfortunately, I have thick, wavy/curly hair down to my waist. Bar soap tends to make my hair feel thicker and more difficult to brush. I have often thought that it would work well on thin hair. It is nice to hear a comment to this effect.

So the point of a bath bomb is to enjoy the yummy smell, and it softens your skin more than regular water/bubble bath, etc? Just curious... and eager to give it a try! (Also am drawn to these Lush bar soaps that everyone keeps talking about... are they expensive?--well, stupid question in Iceland, I know--but relatively?)

I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one. And someone has more than me! I only have 157342889 things

Abaya - The bomb smells awesome and softens your skin, makes you smell good too. The soaps and stuff may seem pricey, but I find they really last a long time. The bath bombs are a luxury for me, but I'm on a fairly tight budget and buy their soaps, moisturizers and facial products.

I love bathbombs! I just love baths though with oils or bubbles or anything..
My bathroom though, is diddy, i mean like the bath takes up most of the room, the loo is next to it then I have a tiny sink and a cupboard almost the size of the room where I keep towels and misc. Products. On the windowsill there are a couple of old bottles of showerbubbles /gels and razors that belong to my huosemate..any other products are kept in my bedroom or it would get far too messy!
I want a bath now.

I have one washcloth, two bottles of sun silk shampoo, one bottle of sun silk conditioner and one biore facial cleanser. Oh and one razer..

At home there are a lot more things in the shower I can't think of. But I'm equally horrified we have so much in a shower that only gets used when I'm home. Rarely.

All told, we have:

5 bottles of shampoo (3 are mine, 1 is hubby's, and 1 is son's)
2 bottles of conditioner
1 tube of conditioner
2 bodywashes (1 is mine that I use for shaving, 1 is for the boys)
2 poufs
1 soap
1 razor (mine)

I keep my bath oils and bubble bath under the sink
(WHAT is a bathbomb???)

I prefer to use soap, or I'm sure we'd have several bodywashes instead of just the 2.

It is strange to see how much people are just in lvoe with the Lush products. I cannot even enter the store because the intense smells and perfumes are way too much on my sinuses.
I personally have 2 bottles of shampoo (pantene and outrageous) and 2 bottles of conditioner (again, same brands), a sponge from the dollar store for washing dishes that I use as an exfoliating scrubber (TIS A WORK OF MIRACLES), Netrogena daily facewash and a bar of citrus soap.
