You could consider combat showers, turn on water, get wet, turn off water, lather up, turn on water, rinse off, turn off water, towel off, put on clothes (optional).

My great aunt was in the navy nurse corps, and she has oodles of stories about her officers. Many things they might have been during her training and deployment, but politically correct could not be claimed as one of them. Ladies version was pits, tits, and ass during her time in the navy, by the by. ;)
I wash the sheets every week because I don't like sleeping on sweaty, grimy sheets. Guess I need to get over that. I wash the towels every week because we each use one bath towel all week and one hand towel in the bathroom. I thought they were pretty dirty after 7 days
Take Navy showers (at least in the summer). Turn on water and get wet. Turn off water and shampoo, lather, shave, etc. Turn water back on to rinse off.

I'm with you on the sheets, though. I think washing the sheets once a week is totally understandable, especially if anyone in the household has a tendency to break out. If not, well, maybe they could go a little longer. But I go with once a week for sure.
I tried to lower my bill but figured out it doesn't mater. I'm billed for 2000 gallons as a base price but use only 1300 gallons. So if I conserve more it doesn't matter.
Interesting. Do you think this is a better option than getting a low flow shower head? Then again, I could just use the faucet handle and turn the water on and off that way.
