You could also wash your wellies as well...

And brush your teeth, but not let anyone from the massive que fill their bottle while you let the water run down to the floor.

If the showers are busier this year will it be down to #philippasvan?

I've got to say that after volunteering last year with access to showers seriously made me change my outlook on showering at festivals. It really made me feel amazing each time (especially in the hot weather which I'm not fond of). Not necessary to have one every day but I may make the effort to have one this year.

Totally agree. I had a shower each day last year in the Greenpeace field and it made such a difference to how I felt. Wait until 4-5pm, you can pretty much waltz in and it sets you up perfectly for the night ahead.

The only shower I've had at Glastonbury was a golden one I gave myself when I fell down a broken floor in the portaloo one year.

Wash yourselves you filthy c**ts.

My view on showers is pretty similar to my view on world news whilst I'm Glastonbury. I'll be sure to catch up when I leave, but whilst I'm there I don't really give a fuck.

I've used the Greenpeace ones every year. It's falling water, does the job. I have to agree that a shower really freshens you up, especially if you have a minging hangover.

I will use them again this year.

I'm the same nowadays. I read the Graun form back to front each day and make sure I have a shower too. Up on my current affairs and not smelling like 4 day-old tuna; swit swoo.

solar shower hung off the side of the caravan does the trick for me.

not warm enough to call it nice but just about warm enough to take the edge off it being fully cold.

absolute god send when trying to freshen up the morning after!

Try the wood fired sauna and espresso right by the way out of the SE corner.  Great for flushing the toxins out.

is that the one where you have to get your town halls out though?

Had a solar shower in 2010 and it got very hot by midday.

Had a lovely little spot below in the woods, hung the shower from one of the trees, could get the flute and ballbag out nae hassle too as no one could see in. It was a clearing in the woods, secluded just letting a shaft of light in through the trees. And an old abandoned rusted truck sat there. Like a secret garden that time forgot.

But they wouldn't let me onto Worthy Lane in 2011. Bastards.

Don't have to-most do though. Some wear underwear the rest let it all hang out. Nothing beats a sweat followed by a dousing with with a cold hosepipe. (Not much to hang out after the cold hosepipe tho)

Quick once over with a wet wipe on your rancid armpits, decaying anus and putrid swingers and you're good to go. No need for showers at all.

Years ago my friend used to swear by shaving all his body hair off before the festival started as he thought it was more hygienic. So you could try that I suppose.

 

 

Just googled "shaved orangutan" and wish I hadn't.

Clean that huge flag that you carry at the front of the pyramid stage while you're at it.

Don't want it looking messy for the tv cameras.

We found an un-crimped wristband for the Powder Room but we never went because it was bloody miles away outside gate D 

The only time I've showered was when we had friends camping in the dairy farm near D and it was pitiful. A bucket or bottle over the head is much more successful

They claim it's 10 minutes walk from Gate D. I had a look on the map - it's only 10 minutes walk if you're 11 feet tall and have bionic legs.

It's a hell of a long walk for a toilet and some hair straighteners...

At festivals I always just do a ridiculously thorough wet wipe wash, which I find works quite well. Like one wet wipe per limb to get off all the mud and any dirt whatsoever. Then a ton of deodorant, wash my face with freezing cold water and a bit of dry shampoo, and pretty much as good as new. If I had the sort of hair that dried looking nice I'd get someone to chuck a bucket of water over my head halfway through, but alas I have a lion's mane attached to my head so I try and avoid getting my hair wet as much as possible. Always worked for me and I find the whole process actually works really well to cure a hangover because I smell super clean even if I'm not actually
