Maybe a silly question

[DDH]

For those of you that commute to work, do all of you have showers at work or do you just wash off and dress after you get there?
I was just wondering. My DH has thought about commuting maybe during the cooler weather, but they have no place to take showers or anything after he gets there and he cannot be at work stinky all day.

I was just wondering what you gals do and how do you carry all your stuff you need for work?

We commuted in auckland and are soon to be commuters once again when we move to our new home.

We plan on driving into work on a sunday to drop off all our clothing for the week & some lunch items. I just leave my toiletries in the showers at work and replenish them when needed.

The other plan is -I am getting back into my swim & run routine on mondays and tuesdays so theoretically i could bring my clothing in then when i drive to the pool & run session..

I have heard of people who don't have showers at work, using the showers at one of the gym's in the city...

I don't have showers at work or school. I do shower in the morning before I leave and try not to hammer into work so I don't get too sweaty. That way I can just wipe down with a washcloth. The key to getting dressed without a shower is to make sure you wait about 10 minutes before you start getting ready so you stop sweating. If you do this right away, you'll just sweat over what you cleaned off

I do keep clothing and shoes at work so I don't have to carry it every day. I take stuff home to wash and swap it out the next trip. It works pretty well. I also carry a comb and deodorant. I use a medium Timbuk2 messenger bag to carry everything I need.

I don't have a long commute at 3.5 miles and I don't have to contend with high humidity like I imagine there is in Texas, so showering isn't really necessary. I shower before I leave and wear a different top and bra from what I'll change into at work. When I get there, I use rubbing alcohol on my underarms, reapply my deodorant, put on new bra and top (or dress), and use toner for my face and neck. I've got some unscented baby wipes if I have to get grime off my arms or legs. My boss says I don't smell at all, and believe me, she tells it like it is.

No questions are silly, and thanks for asking. I was wondering too. I know some who ride up to campus here shower when they get here. I can't see myself having time for that. Also, showering entails changing my ostomy bag. I'd really rather do that at home. But I figure if I bring a clean shirt etc. I can dump my stuff in the office, cool down for a couple minutes, then wash and change at the bathroom sink. With my short, fast-dry hair and simple 'do, I can even stick my head under the faucet, then brush the 'do in shape and not have helmet hair all day. Should work. Soon as this pissy rain stops again I'll give it a try.

Buffs are great for helmet hair also. I have longer hair, so I just tie it up and put a buff on over it. Voila.
