I have an overhead shower, so I don't have to turn to rinse. Standing with my back to the shower..because I have long hair, and it's easier to wash this way...I also get all the water down my front at the same time

You are discussing "gender directional differences in the shower" and my French cousin and his wife don't even use the shower.

During summer they use their outdoor pool, the other time they don't shower at all. They have only a bathtub and never used it as we visited them.

We have a spacious shower cubicle but they didn't use them, and this in July.

This is why the French are so into perfume.
The one thing I always notice when visiting France, and some other countries is the odor of many French people: B.O.

I wonder every time I watch 1500-1870s era movies where bathing was less frequent HOW they stood their own smell, if baths were not taken because they believed getting cold caused illness and death.

Thinking about the variety of nozzles and shower heads reminded me of the showers in some fancy hotels.

My favorite hotel when traveling became my favorite because of the shower heads. I kid you not... they have revolving/rotating shower heads and it's awesome. Tried to get one for at home and I would have paid whatever the price was :giggle: but that type won't work with the system here. :(
 
I have just come home after visiting my son in Melbourne. I told him I had a difficult time using the shower. When I opened the shower door I couldn't get into the cubicle and had to soap up my stomach so I could glide in. He said, the shower door works both ways, towards me or forward. I felt quite stupid when he said this, and also the shower had an overhead rainwater head and halfway down a handheld one, and another contraption on the far end of the wall, which I didn't ask about. I like using simple things.
 
I start out away from the shower head, soap up and turn, then face away again and soap up back. Rinse off both directions.

You hit the nail on the head. Long ago I've read this remark of an Englishman: "The young French women are beautiful to look at, but you shouldn't get too close to them." This was in the 17th century. Perhaps it was from Samuel Pepys, but I don't know for sure.

It could be possible that not much has changed since that time. My cousin's wife also uses gallons of perfume.

But I don't think that it matches with the behavior of all or most people in France.

Guessing they are women using hand held shower heads to access "special"" areas.
