Popular National Shower with a Friend Day takes place annually in February.

According to National Day Calendar, National Shower With a Friend Day is a tongue-cheek way of educating people about the benefits of filtered, chlorine-free water. Winter is the coldest and loneliest season of the year with dwindling daylight and Valentine's Day at its heart, February can often leave people feeling dejected and somber. National Shower With a Friend Day injects a bit of humor while also serving to educate people on the benefits of showering in fresh, filtered water.

Since bringing this National Day to the attention of many some 5 years ago or so, it seems to have become a popular one. More and more YouTube videos seem to popping up each year with guys and gals doing the showering with a friend thing. Many seem to be open about the idea, while others just seem disgusted about it LOL

In the past we've polled the Hudson Valley on this topic, asking people if they have ever participated or plan to participate. Results varied from a rousing "Hell yes" to "Nope. Shower time is my alone time".  Most popular answer given for showering with a friend was for saving water. We even had one person say that they installed two shower heads when they did a bathroom renovation just for the purpose of having a shower partner. Ha!
