Thank you for the tip—it sounds amazing!
I love music, but it doesn't sound right in the shower, therefore I avoid audio for the sake of preserving the original sound. I have a pack of antibiotic wet wipes for that reason as well.

The problem for me usually lies in the temperature. I need it hot so I don't shiver and I relax, but at the same time I get lightheaded when this happens. Also, I get tired of standing and maneuvering for the body wash part. Since I can wash my hair in the sink or just by sitting, usually that's alright. There may be a slight gender dysphoric component to it, but I don't hate my body, and I'm grateful for all that it does for me.
I mainly find all the tiny steps and actions I do exhausting, but I'm stuck doing them because it bothers me more if I don't. I think that's the TL;DR.
I just don't feel clean unless it's once a day kind of thing. Yeah, I don't know why it's so normalized either, but I kind of participate anyway because I don't like the pampering it takes to ensure I don't stink and the constant insecurity over my smell. It's summer and humid here, so I can't escape sweating, even with cotton/linen clothes and sunscreen to the max.
I make sure to use body lotion and body oil so that my skin isn't so dry after cleaning.
Crap, why didn't I think of it as spa time? Seriously, I might just get some stuff to set it up like a bathhouse. Too bad my area's too rural and separated for any banyas to exist.
