To ask how often you bath

Just wondering how often people bath? If I don't bath for one day I stink!! I don't always have time in the morning before the school run, (don't have a shower) but I will completely reek and it's so embarrassing. Can't understand how people go 2-3 days which is apparently common without bathing?!

Oh god. This is going to go well.

OliviaStabler · 08/09/2017 17:47

I bath every day

Derekmorganwasinmybed · 08/09/2017 17:47

We all have a bath everyday

Sayyouwill · 08/09/2017 17:48

Once a day. Occasionally I miss a day for various reasons or sometimes twice a day.

sonlypuppyfat · 08/09/2017 17:48

I bath everyday, I enjoy it for relaxing

sailorcherries · 08/09/2017 17:48

I shower every day, wash my hair every 2nd or 3rd day. I exercise every day and if I didn't shower it would be awful. Yesterday I had 3 - before the school run, after my at home workout and after my gym fitness test.

I haven't had a bath in about 15 years. I shower once a day.

AtSea1979 · 08/09/2017 17:49

Couple of times a week. I wet wipe wash the other days.

Penny4UrThoughts · 08/09/2017 17:49

Not as often as I'd like. Sometimes once a month, sometimes 3 times in a week.

Bluntness100 · 08/09/2017 17:49

Well I shower most days but have been known to go without if hungover or knackered and not going amywherel I don't reek. I guess it depends on how much you sweat naturally. You must sweat a lot if you reek after 24 hours.

MusicToMyEars800 · 08/09/2017 17:50

Bath nearly everyday, wash hair every 2 days, I have really long hair that needs washing frequently.

Crowdie · 08/09/2017 17:50

Every five minutes.

And I add dettol too.

It's quite difficult finding the time though in between washing my pyjamas every day and changing the sheets and towels every five minutes.

Anyone who does any less is a dirty munger who probably doesn't rinse their mince either.

Hmm
Babyblues14 · 08/09/2017 17:50

I shower every day usually and have a bath about once every two months. But that has been switched round lately as currently pregnant and a good long soak is bliss

SinglePringle · 08/09/2017 17:51

Every day and twice if I've been to the gym (about 4-5 times a week).

InteriorLulu · 08/09/2017 17:51

I bath once or twice a year. Shower every day though, sometimes twice if I've been exercising. Hair wash every other day.

demirose87 · 08/09/2017 17:51

Twice a day.

FallingOrbit · 08/09/2017 17:51

EVERY four weeks. Whether I need one or not.

ilovesooty · 08/09/2017 17:51

I bath every ten minutes. It disrupts sleeping and meals a bit. Grin

AfunaMbatata · 08/09/2017 17:51

Same as crowdie but I add in a wire brush for good measure!

Mrsbclinton · 08/09/2017 17:52

Shower & wash hair daily first thing In the morning. I like to feel fresh and clean for the day ahead.

Crowdie · 08/09/2017 17:53

You're far mankier than me then ilovesooty.

kimlo · 08/09/2017 17:53

I shower twice a day, hair washed every other day.

Crowdie · 08/09/2017 17:54

Just one wire brush AfunaMubata?

Disgusting.

IamEarthymama · 08/09/2017 17:55

I have horrendous psoriasis on my feet and legs
Much to my dismay getting my skin wet is one of the triggers.
I haven't used scented products for many years, after allergy tests at the hospital.
When we have visitors I always feel I have to explain why I am not showering or bathing every day.
Obviously I wash my self regularly avoiding the most raw skin and I have a bath every 3 days.
I used to LOVE having a bath, music on, candles lit and bubble bath.
It's a very utilitarian process these days Wink

Cailleach666 · 08/09/2017 17:55

I have a bath around every two weeks. Never seem to have the time for a soak.
I shower every morning, wash hair every two days ( my hair gets too dry if I wash it every day, I wear a shower cap on the days I don't wash my hair.
