I’m curious, do you stand under the cold water the entire time?

Or kind of get wet quickly and step out of the stream, lather, rinse quickly, etc.

I regularly take cold showers. The trick for me is to stay under the cold water as much as possible. Swapping in and out means you have to experience the cold rush multiple times, which is the most unpleasant part. Deep, meditative breaths at the beginning help a lot too.

I get under water gradually then stay there until I stop feeling discomfort. The part of the habit is not just the hygiene but the cold shower itself.
