    Does the shower water not get all bloody?
    It does, but flows into the drain.

    Just once a day like usual o.O The blood comes more or less constantly so within minutes of you getting out the shower you won't be clean down there anymore anyway (unless you use tampons, in which case you'd be no dirtier than usual).
    But wouldn't you prefer a fresh blood flow upon waking up and a fresh blood flow before going to bed?

    Daily. I don't see how showering any more will be beneficial! I use baby wipes as well.

    As much as I normally do - which is every second day. I use baby wipes in between time and wash everything else over the sink.

    What do you mean by "a fresh blood flow?"

    To be honest I've never really thought about my preference in respect to the 'freshness' of my blood flow o_o I use tampons - I cant feel the blood or see it until I remove the tampon. A fresh tampon is good enough for me

    Once a day, usually in the morning? I would probably shower more or whatever if i used pads because then its like actually out in the air but with tampons i feel as clean down there as i do when i'm not on. (best invention in the world ever)

    Depends on your shower. I've got a walk in shower so the water goes down the drain as soon as it hits the shower floor so all's right with the world when I shower :ahee:

    I should have said, it removes the stale/dry blood from your vagina. Any flow afterwards will eventually become stale/dry but at least you are removing it more regularly.

    I use pads and tampons interchangeably, so I guess maybe if I used just tampons, I would view things differently

    #Once a day as usual. I use a mooncup so it's not like the blood ever gets 'on' me. Whenever I take the cup out I'll use wipes or give myself a quick wash if possible before I reinsert it.

    Simply because when you are on your period, you need to freshen up regularly or else you could end up smelling.
    Cleaning the area too regularly is actually more likely to make you end up odd-smelling, just so you know.

    Unless you actually douche, which you really, really shouldn't do, the shower won't do much more than tissues and a baby wipe.

    Every other day. Showering multiple times a day just because you're on your period is a bit over the top in my opinion, but if otherwise you feel dirty then fair enough.
