to stop washing

[gardengate]

We have a water metre so to save money I've decided to stop showering and bathing. I saw on telly (This Morning) about a woman who stopped washing her hair and it started self-cleaning in 8 weeks.

Sorry Flo - couldn't help myself.

Blue waffle anyone? [Whistles innocently]

DO NOT google blue waffle.

How about a Liberty Bodice then OP? Just to help contain the stench aroma of 8 weeks worth of unwashed flesh...

P.S. - the rest of you may not want to Google that term either.

So its vaginal toe jam? Doesn't say that it smells though.

Ewwww

I didnt wash my hair for 3 years once (dreadlocks) and it didnt smell! It smelt of the body spray I used to wear. I had very long dreads so inevitably used to end up getting sprayed too.

My ex never washed.

And yes he did smell.

Seriously no-one I've ever known who had dreadlocks didn't have foul smelling hair.

It really just smelled of dirty grease mixed with whatever perfumed stuff they sprayed on it.

A bit like a smoker smelling like a smoker who has just brushed their teeth.

Interesting first post OP!

Moonlight that was sneaky throwing in blue waffle like that

Do not google blue waffle I did after finding out about it on here and it's stuck with me ever since!

Goes off to google liberty bodice

Comes back disappointed, it was a type of clothing!!

YANBU! I've moved to a house with a water meter and it is so so much cheaper!

We are a family of four who power shower and use a dishwasher and washing machine daily.

Please do have a wash!

Is this what scented panty liners are for?

Sorry susie - couldn't help myself!

Now, Liberty Bell on the other hand

Ok so I couldn't help myself, I googled blue waffle, eww. Where do they come up with these things.
Not as bad as the one with shit everywhere that MNers told me to Google

Erm, you should wash. But I don't 'wash' my hair, with shampoo at least. I'm no poo, and it's a pita at first, but my hair's gorgeous now. Shiny and soft, and no dry ends I used to look like a scarecrow

But no, definitely wash. Nobody likes standing next to someone on the tube with rank underarms.

Ah, the 'two girls' one - yes, that is particularly revolting. Mind you, there's worse around, but I think I managed to brain bleach most of the memories away after about five months...

Day 2 of experiment. S'alright so far.

Thanks for the update

I wonder if people she has to sit by would be willing to provide updates next week...

Are you seriously going to walk around festering?
Aren't you concerned about toe jam or winnets? I feel all itchy just thinking about it.

After five days at a very good but very mucky festival, with not enough showers and too hung over to face the queue anyway, I was definitely not self cleansing.

I have done the hair thing, it took about a month to settle. I only stopped because water alone won't rinse out chlorine or sea-salt and I was missing swimming. Also I wanted to dye it.

I have gone a few days without showers and by about day 4 feel very yuky and itchy.
That was either when camping without facilities or when in bed with flu. I wouldn't do it through choice.
