Every man has wondered what takes women so long in the bathroom and this infographic on English bathing habits may provide some insight.
Not surprisingly, the infographic says that women take up to three times longer in the bath than men do. This statistic doesn't specify in terms of showers, so this number may also be skewed by the fact that women tend to prefer baths more than men do anyway.
Another entertaining fact in this infographic is that a whopping 70% of people snoop in bathroom closets to see what products are in there. There are few places in your house more intimate than your medicine cabinet. However, this stat suggests it may be intimate, but it sure isn't private.
Lastly, how long do you shower for? The average shower is eight minutes.
