To wonder if anyone else will admit to being a soap dodger?

I often can’t be arsed. Dh has to prompt me. Anyone else?

Where are these places that have no shower? That's like something out of the 1900s.

Always wash hands after using the loo and shower as often as I can, bearing in mind I'm disabled and so are the kids that relies on DH being available to help, which he isn't always. I'd prefer to shower more often but its not safe. So baby wipes have to do sometimes.

Greasy hair IS stinky hair, MeyMary.
Must feel horrible too. I couldn't be around someone who thought that tying it up meant that it wasn't manky.

Suuure ;) having slightly flat hair means it's stinky.

I wash my hands with soap but not my face I use plain water and a facial wash..soaps awfully damaging to the skin makes my dry skin flakey..
I shower every day tho but try to avoid my hair
Have to I get horribly pongy if I don’t

My mum doesn't have a shower! Her house was built in 1998. My MIL doesn't have one either but her house was probably built in more like 1798, so there is that.

If I washed my hair daily it would be a massive frizzball!

I think the previous poster is confusing the 1980s with the 1890s!

Actually they’re not, DP and I were talking about bath night on a Sunday, and we’re both 80s babies, me early 80s him mid 80s.

Funny I was born 30 years earlier and had a daily bath, then. Same as my husband. Once a week? Vile.

We had baths once a week in the 90s. I honestly don't think it was that unusual.

You know what is far more vile than someone not washing?

Some of the fucking high and mighty attitudes on here. Hyacinth Bucket on steroids!

BertieBotts it wasn’t.

It was in the circles I moved in. 🌷 Closest to a hyacinth I could find!

Oh really? Well in the very very middle class “circle” I was brought up in, Sunday night was bath night.

It was with us too. And every other night of the week. 😀

Me too.

We’d have our hair towel dried whilst watching Songs of Praise.

Bluelady so why does that make you think you’re so much more superior to those who didn’t?

That’s my issue. Snotty and shitty comments like you’re so much better than anyone who isn’t in the shower every single day.

I’d much rather have a friend who didn’t wash daily but didn’t hold nasty attitudes about other people.

I broke up with a partner for not showering every day. On my commute to work each morning on the packed tubes,it's clear there are quite a few people who don't shower each morning and it makes me heave.. you absolutely DO smell if you skip a day.

Any snottiness and shiftiness exists purely in your perception. I'm not better than anyone. Just cleaner than quite a lot of people it would seem.

Vile was the word you used. Pretty snotty no?

I shower daily, my kids are bathed daily, usual gubbins of clean pyjamas, fresh bedding, blah blah.

I just don’t see the need to pretend I’m any better than someone who doesn’t do those things.

Therein lies the difference.

An opinion. We are still allowed those, aren't we?

I shower daily, my kids are bathed daily, usual gubbins of clean pyjamas, fresh bedding, blah blah.

You have fresh bedding everyday?

My cats refuse to lick their arses on anything but freshly laundered white sheets so my body and house must be kept nipping clean at all times otherwise they will desert me and I will be bereft.
As I said before though, I am very greasy and sweaty so need frequent hosing down. My hair mings after 8 hours hence the scrubbing.

I'd rather listen to Hyacinth Bucket than smell someone's BO
