I only shower 3-4 times a week, to be honest. Is that gross? I especially will skip a shower if my hair looks good.

I do, however, change undies every morning.

Every day.

SarahBellam · 14/08/2020 22:02

Every morning - sometimes in the evening too if I need something to help,me wind down.

Dominicgoings · 14/08/2020 22:03

Normally daily.
At the height of COVID, at least twice daily ( nurse)

Dominicgoings · 14/08/2020 22:04

My Ex fiance showered every other day and there were no issues. He always looked and smelled clean Wink

Aneley · 14/08/2020 22:05

Every day. When hot outside or if I was very physically active then twice (the second one is usually very quick). Super sensitive to body odour so its not really a choice.

WaverleyOwl · 14/08/2020 22:06

Every day otherwise I feel itchy.

TheAquaticDuchess · 14/08/2020 22:06

Most days. In the summer if I don’t shower every day I’m definitely whiffy by the afternoon of day 2. But different people sweat differently etc. so I don’t think there is a hard and fast rule.

misschoices · 14/08/2020 22:06

I don't have body odour. My partner has been always curious why I don't even after exercise.

I could smell like food (eg bacon) if I make them. But not body odour.

Depends: winter 2-3 times a week. Summer like yesterday for example where it was 32 bloody degrees I had 2 showers (one morning and one night) and one bath with DC midday ish.

Swishswish26 · 14/08/2020 22:07

Every single morning but this last week, during the heatwave, I have showered morning and night. Four times a week is probably ok though especially if you aren’t sweating.

terriblyangryattimes · 14/08/2020 22:07

Every other day, as does my husband. We were both every other day showerers before we met in fact. We wash the smelliest bits daily and if I go for a run i')l shower too.

PurpleFlower1983 · 14/08/2020 22:07

Daily. Twice with Covid when working.

Whathewhatnow · 14/08/2020 22:08

Every day. I hate hate hate feeling sweaty and dirty. Even if I am somewhere with no running water I will.go fetch and carry and wash head to toe every day. Been like that since age 13.

user1471453601 · 14/08/2020 22:08

Every other day. I have a v v sensitive skin and showering more frequently ends up with me developing hives. I use a non SLS shower wash and moisturise at least twice a day.

Dermatologist recommended I shower every third day, but every other day I can just about manage.

JorisBonson · 14/08/2020 22:09

Every morning, every evening too in this bastard heatwave.

SuperCaliFragalistic · 14/08/2020 22:09

Every morning unless I'm having a lazy day at home and not going anywhere. I live on my own with DC though so I'm not bothered too much. Hair gets done every 2-3 days.

misschoices · 14/08/2020 22:09

The majority seem to shower/bathe everyday! I I now feel dirty Confused

MarshaBradyo · 14/08/2020 22:10

Every day sometimes twice, a quick one after a run

Apolloanddaphne · 14/08/2020 22:11

Daily. All of my family shower daily. I feel grubby otherwise.

Pittapitta · 14/08/2020 22:11

Daily

PunkMudda · 14/08/2020 22:12

Twice a day.

Shower in the morning to freshen up and then a shower or bath in the evening to relax. Love getting in to bed feeling clean.

I don’t really smell if I don’t shower for a day or two, which happens sometimes if I’m ill, but I feel grotty.

Pinkyandthebrainz · 14/08/2020 22:12

Daily.

BahHumbygge · 14/08/2020 22:12

Misschoices, weird question but do you have the dry flakey kind of earwax or the sticky gungy kind?

Lockheart · 14/08/2020 22:12

Not as often as this same bloody thread is started. Could you not have read one of the other eleventh billion on this subject? There was a big one less than a week ago.

Taikoo · 14/08/2020 22:12

Every day.
I smell if I don't.
