I've never gotten this to work very well. Though I didn't do it with a fan. Any tips?

Get in tub; get out; lie in front of the fan. It won't cool your house, but it will keep you from dying of heat stroke.

Ah, I thought you were using the shower as a way to cool down the air for your house. This makes way more sense.

I'm sorry, but are you serious?

[–] treadful@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Any tips other than the fan...

You could try an ice dildo. I hear that a 6 incher tends to last about an hour..

Live in a dry climate. The evaporating water will cool the house. Doesn't work if the air is already wet
