'I don't shower every day'

When someone states they don't shower every day would you assume they are washing the important bits on the days they are not showering or would you think they are completely unwashed on those days?
Going off the BO wafting around in the shops yesterday I would assume most people are not washing inbetween showering!

It seems to me that lots of smelly people here just can't comprehend that others don't get as smelly as them, and can genuinely get away without a shower everyday...

I think this is it. I'm not very sweaty. I'll shower after exercise or if it's been really warm and I have sweated, but otherwise I'm really not very sweaty or stinky. A shower every 2 days is fine for me. I'm also not lathering an absolute ton of soap on my bits as that's a recipe for thrush.

(Cue hoards of online strangers telling me I absolutely MUST constantly stink, I'm just nose blind 🙄)

I think it's pretty arrogant to assume that you can get away with minimal showering, without being smelly...
Makes no sense.

Skippy luv.. showering every other day is not minimal it’s sensible, I do that and I get away with not being smelly or arrogant!!

I shower every other day and that's absolutely fine for me. I'm not a sweaty person. People's activity and sweat levels differ.

In my nan's day a bath a week was perfectly normal and acceptable.
