Have you ever made a small sacrifice in your daily routine to save a little time? Here are 9 amusing yet somewhat gross tips to help you become a more efficient mom.
- Rewear Your Bra
Why not wear the same bra for a few days? It’s a secret no one needs to know—unlike wearing the same underwear, which is just plain gross. - Rock Those Yoga Pants
Wearing the same pair of yoga pants multiple days in a row is a no-brainer. They have no buttons, which makes bathroom trips a breeze, and they stretch to accommodate any bloating from last night’s takeout. Pair them with a tunic, and you’re ready for anything. Yoga pants are like your best friend; they look good, even when they’re a bit worn. - Shower Peeing
Okay, here’s a guilty pleasure: peeing in the shower. It might feel a bit embarrassing, but when that warm water hits you, it’s hard to resist. Plus, I hear urine is actually sterile. - Strategic Bathroom Timing
Only go number two before hopping in the shower. It’s a clever way to maximize your bathroom time, gives you an excuse to lock the door, and lets you avoid excessive wiping. Your bottom will thank you! - Skip the Foot Wash
When you’re in the shower, why not let the soapy water do the work? Shuffle around a bit, and voilà—clean feet without the hassle. Just make sure everything else has washed down the drain first! - Shave Selectively
If you’re short on time, just shave the lower half of your legs. Use your shampoo as a makeshift shaving cream; no one has time to buy separate products for that! - Wipe Bath
When you’re really pressed for time, give yourself a quick wipe bath—focus on your pits, chest, and other essential areas. It’s efficient and keeps you feeling fresh. - Forget Folding Fitted Sheets
Seriously, who even folds fitted sheets? You’ve probably seen tutorials on it, but it’s much easier to just ball them up and toss them in the closet. Who cares, right? - Laundry? Not Today!
Honestly, folding laundry is the worst. Washing and drying is manageable, but folding? No thanks. Embrace the chaos!
Using tips like the shower pee and bathroom timing will mean fewer dirty items for you to handle compared to the rest of your family. You should definitely be rewarded for your resourceful choices. Let your partner know that if they want to experience the benefits of your efficient grooming, they can handle the laundry instead. Then, kick back with a cup of designer coffee—you’ve earned it!
