      I’ve had showers where I feel like I’m out watering the shower

    I’m surprised how many people feel they can differentiate steam moisture and sweat on their skin.

      Yeah I don’t really feel the difference either. Intriguing. Whether I’m wet from the shower or from sweat, it feels about the same to me. It’s only after it’s drying that there’s an obvious difference to me

      That was my take that prompted the post, but now a little logic is kicking in. Is my skin actually cold enough to condensate steam? I do not know

        Then you aren’t swimming/working out hard enough to sweat.

        Also It’s not that you feel yourself sweating, it’s that you feel the sweat. Sweat is a really slimy substance if it cannot evaporate

    Sweat is basically water so sweating in a shower would be useless. I don’t even think it’s possible tbh. Once you get above a certain temperature you’re just burning yourself.

      Sweat is salty water, so it’s different. It’s released more when your body is hot, not because it’s dry. You probably aren’t sweating in an air conditioned room and showers are typically hotter than room temperature, probably hot enough to make you sweat. I’m not sure why you think your sweat would turn off just because you’re wet. If that was the case, you wouldn’t have pooled sweat pouring off you on humid days

        I was thinking more along the lines of the water from the shower already acting as sweat by absorbing the heat. Which would make sweating useless. I dont feel like I’ve run into a situation which like this before, but based on people’s comments, I may be wrong here.

    If you start sweating in the shower you are doing it wrong. It could easily turn into heat stroke. This is more of a problem with hot tubs and hot springs
