To ask how often you shower

Inspired by a lot of comments posted in a recent thread on here! (Apologies if there is already a thread on here as I'm not too sure how to navigate MN fully yet.)

How often do you shower/have a bath? Twice a day, daily, couple times a week, weekly etc. If you don't shower daily, do you just have a quick sink wash on the days you don't shower or do you simply brush your teeth and straight out of the door? I'm intrigued to know and hoping people will be a bit more honest as it's an anonymous forumWink

On this recent thread, a poster had made several comments saying they don't understand how people only wash themselves with their hands and not a flannel or sponge. AIBU to think that using your hands to wash is quite common and seems to be done by the majority?

There was also a comment by another poster about not washing their legs in the shower as soap and hot water runs down them so no need to focus on these areas specifically.
Quite a random topic but I'm intrigued to hear from other people on here

Once a day!! Doesn’t everyone?

Between every day and every other day. Always shower if I’m going out or seeing people but if I’m WFH then sometimes miss a day. Also shower on Sat mornings and then bath on Sunday evenings

Twice a day but I live in a hot dusty place. I like washing the day off.

Have you read the thread?

Shower daily (twice if I go to the gym or it's particularly hot)

Wash hair every 2nd or 3rd day

@Ilikecheeseontoast

Before kids I showered every day before putting my pyjamas on. Long hot showers where I’d shave my legs and exfoliate etc etc etc. Now with 3 kids under 4 it’s more likely every other day with hair washed when I look like the pigeon lady off Home Alone.
Omg exactly this! Couldn't have said it better myself!
