New showers -- experiences?

[JackyKennedy]

I just had one warm shower at the first day. The next days the water was ice cold and washing my hair in this cold water is almost impossible for me I found the whole shower situation frustrating. I tried to shower at different times of the day/night at different places and there was always a queue. In my opinion there are not enough showers for a festival this size. I think I will
bring my camping shower next year like this I don’t have to waist my time in long shower queues.

Appreciate it. Agree re: the hair, it's painful. I can accept longer lines personally (as long as the water temp & pressure is ok), but know many hate them. Sounds like a plan though. Where did you shower, btw?

I showered at Oase (it was the closest to our camp) island and close to roots base. Didn’t tried the shower towers because they are cold as f* but at the end all of them were cold

I only used the showers at the workshop hangar and they were as cold as ice. On the first day it was bearable, but probably the deeper the water was pumped out, the colder it got and it caused pain, especially when I was washing my hair
Before 2024 I showered at night because the water was a bit warmer and there were no queues, I tried the same this year and really regretted it

Great with some data also from the Workshop area. Sorry you too had these poor experiences though. I'm writing KuKo w/ some feedback (pros & cons) and will include a summary of the shower situation. Hopefully fixed for next year!

The queues at Oase were worse than the last 2 years and it was sometimes warm but most of the time cold I heard, so I would say it’s worse than before.

But I think they will improve it for next year, hopefully

I recommend Waschlappen!
Hab ich allgemein wieder für mich entdeckt und hat mir die Fusion enorm versüßt.
Habe nur Mittwoch und Montag geduscht da gab es keine Schlangen
Mittwoch war das Wasser (fast zu) warm. Und Montag kalt.

Ooh, you both were lucky to get warm showers? Congrats!

Thanks for the suggestions -- but how do these Waschlappen work? I mean, how do they help get around cold water ...? And which showers did you use, please?

A personal (camping) shower ofc would be cool, but again I don't see how they'd mitigate water temperature (or pressure).

camping showers get hot really quickly if you put them in the sun.

considering the weather and temperature, for me personally a luke warm camping shower was a nice enough experience. water pressure is not worse than in my berliner altbau

of course i did not wash my hair

I know what you mean, it was painful to wash my hair there. It was one of the coldest showers I ever took. I am glad I went in the evening when the sun was still shining a bit, it took a while to get warm after that shower.

The idea is not to take a shower, just use the Waschlappen at the sinks.
