I try to do cooler and quicker shower - not to linger.

Ask your LOR for guidance. There are different opinions.

I struggle with that. In the summer I always take cold showers, and I haven't used hot water for the past month or so. In hot weather I find it much more refreshing. I'm never sure how to change things during the nine days. I try to cut down the frequency.
