How often do you shower?

Don't you just love that fresh-out-of-the-shower, clean feeling? I shower twice a week (more if I get really stinky/ dirty/ sweaty). When do you guys and gals give yourself a rubba-dub-scrub down in the shower?

Everyday as part of my morning routine 119
I have no routine but I shower at least twice a week 64
I shower only during the week 8
I shower only on weekends 6
I shower when I really start to smell... 35
I shower only on the morning of an important day 3
I don't bother... 8
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I shower when my hair starts getting greasy. In between showers, I just clean my armpits and use deodorant.

    I like to shower in the evening, before I go to bed.

    In the summer, I shower daily with occasional exceptions. In the winter, I shower four times a week.

    Once a week or when needed.
    I feel awful when I see so much water get wasted by people who shower every day...

    I'm actually surprised a lot of people only shower twice a week. I shower and shave daily. I think it would be gross for me not to because 1. I work in a medical lab and 2. I have sex everyday.

      i think it depend on how much your sweating ect, like if it summer, or you doing the buiz like you are all the time, then yeah daily, but if it winter, and you just had normal day, i can see skipping a day

        yeeah, exchange of bodily fluids and sweat is sexy during the moment but not after.

    I usually shower before bed, when I do shower. During the summer or winter breaks, spring breaks, etc, etc, I stock up on junk food, order pizza, sit in my dorm, binge watch on netflix, and go 3, 4, sometimes 5, days without showering. It all depends on my interaction with people.

    Nightly in summer, every other night in winter. My skin dries out if I do it every night in winter. I don't want to use lotion. There are so many cancer-causing agents in the average lotion and I don't want them anywhere near me. Natural alternatives such as coconut and jojoba oil leave me feeling greasy.

    Many people may have more natural skin oils, so can shower every day, even in winter, and not be affected like that. Some people aren't that way. Their skin is just naturally drier.

    And no, we don't stink just from skipping a day. Everyone is NOT the same as is evidenced from the poll. According to that, about 2/3 of people shower every day while 1/3 don't. Do 1/3 of the people around you stink? No. Everyone's different.

    Cow shit isn't a nice smell, so I shower everyday.

    depends on the season. In summer here it gets so hot that you feel like you need one every 5 minutes. But usually I restrict it to at most 3 a day. In the winter months I have one when I get up to wake up (need that one) and then sometimes before I go to bed depending on what sort of day I've had and whether I feel like I need one or not.

  • Honestly, I've been showering twice a day lately.

    Once a day. Washing off all the sweat after excersising is relaxing.

    Only showering twice a week is not normal! If I'm staying in the house I might skip a day but jeez. If I'm working or going somewhere I always shower and I honestly couldn't go more than two days without showering, it'd bug me.

      My hair is really thick and troublesome to maintain, what with taking forever to dry and such. I get up late and get back from work late so sometimes I miss a beat with my showering routine. In layman's terms I'm unorganised.

        Fair enough but if I were you I'd still wash my body, I honestly don't think twice a week is enough to stave of body odor (especially if you're a guy) - it's easy not to notice it on yourself but other people will notice it! Just my advice

    it amazes me how nasty people are. i shower daily some times twice. and for those who say it can dry out your skin its called putting on lotion, which i do everyday too. ive showered daily since as long as i can remember. my mother taught me great hygiene :)

    I shower every other day. No option for that, so I picked the first one. :D

    I shower whenever my hair looks greasy, and in between showers I just use baby wipes on my armpits and put on deodorant. Sometimes If I'm really lazy and I need/want to go somewhere but my hair is greasy, I put on and hide all my hair under a hat that I bought just for days like these. (which is easy because I have a short haircut) Back when I still had my hair long though, it would take like 2 weeks before it got greasy all the way through, and since I didn't wash it until then it means I didn't shower for 2 weeks.

    Also, even if its hot out and I sweat, if it's not hair washing day yet, I just let it dry.

    Yeah, personal hygiene has never really been at the top of my priority list. Maybe someday, but not anytime soon.

    Winter at least once a day when I wake up and if I have been working in the garden or so I take another.
    Summer at least two coz I live in a very warm area by the beach.
    I think I said this 20 times before. I just have to copy/paste;)

  • Every day. I thought most people shower once a day? From this I assume not...Hmm. I always feel disgusting if I am not washed every day, but I guess it's normal not to wash every day.

    I work outside all day so about 12-14hrs is my limit!

    Showering whenever I please is such a new experience for me, I probably overdo it a bit.
    Water conservation has become so ingrained in my psyche that the guilt I feel when I take a shower "just because I want one", is almost overpowering. Almost.
    So, in answer to this post, at least once a day, and sometimes more! Ah, thank you, my beloved watermaker, thank you.
