What is it that requires girls to take 45+ minutes in the bathroom everyday?

Right, ok, first lets state the bleeding obvious... Women spend different amounts of time in the bathroom each day. You know that.

Now we can break it down. How much time any human spends in their bathroom depends on a bunch of things; how long they take to shower (long hair to wash and condition? Adds time. Shaving? Adds time. Exfoliating? Adds time. Applying lotion? Adds time), if they have some kind of skincare regime (Yes? Adds time), how much they care about dental hygiene (Flossing, whitening? Adds time) and whether they wear make up and if they do, do they apply it whilst in the bathroom (adds time). I guess some people probably do their hair in the bathroom as well (more time).

Digestive complaints and/or having a period would also add to time literally spent in the bathroom but I'm gonna assume that's not really what you're on about since most men I know take infinitely longer to take a shit than women do.

Personally I don't spend 45 minutes a day in my bathroom. But that's because I live alone and once I'm done in there I get out and go do my make up and hair elsewhere because it's steamy in there.
