Do nuns really bathe and shower fully clothed?


They do in this movie. This really makes no sense. Are they "never-nudes"? Don't they have to get out of the wet clothes to dry off? In this they are shown in tubs, and even standing in the shower with full length white gowns. Not sure how you actually clean yourself like this. How do they dry and maintain this? Does the convent have some giant walk in super dryer like you get at the end of a car wash?

I really have to see this.

Having Sydney Sweeney play a nun in a movie where the nuns bathe fully clothed just seems...wrong.

reply

You’re not wrong.

In the past , 1980s, they bathe and shower in a black bathing suit. Unsure now.

reply

I know a few Nuns and they never mentioned this. I will have to ask them.

My guess that the scene where they are in the big tub with a dress on was just leisure/fun. They probably shower regular. After the pigeon escape attempt, we see them run a regular shower over Sydney Sweeney when she’s nude

reply

You'd think, but during that scene you see a woman in the background standing under a shower in the full gown.

No.
