Do you shower/bath everyday

[TheSpoonyNavyReader]

Just that really, do you shower/bath daily as an adult that (not ill or has health conditions)

I am asking this as another thread, made me curious.

YIBU- I don't shower everyday, there is no need.
YANBU- I shower everyday as I like to be clean.

Everyday, but in hot weather twice a day, as it cools me down, and helps me sleep.

Most days

Yes and twice a day if night sweats/period

Everyday. I feel gross if I don’t shower first thing and if it’s hot then I will shower again in the evening or after exercise.

Thank you, I can also tell when people have not had a shower. I have found my people on MN.

I’m now imagining doing a spin class and not being able to shower after. The horror.

I agree with you! People insist they dont smell but you can smell it- sorry but you can.

Surely adults should be washing their genitals, bum and armpits everyday at least.

Not every day, probably every other day, sometimes 3 days depends what i've been doing.

Showering and doing ny hair, and drying it etc takes about 45mins, i'd rather have an extra 45mins in bed each morning.

Usually. Definitely if I've worked out. But I don't think its necessarily dirty not to. Its all contextual.

By the time I have washed my face, pits, bits (and what about your feet!) stood at a sink with a flannel I could have jumped in the shower. Takes 3-4 mins absolute max.
It's not dirt, it's body odour.
Do people really wash their feet in a sink?

Yes, every day. Never know when DH and I might fancy some action, or often will have just had some 😁

Seriously though I am from a family who don't. My mum and dad used to whinge at me about it. "We're on a water meter, you had one yesterday!" which is a bit grim when you're a hormonal 15 year old. They had plenty of money!

I dont wash my hair daily, thrice a week at most. I think most daily showerers probably don't. That would take ages.

That is grim, everyone should do what makes them happy and not smell.

If i try and shower without washing my hair all the water/stesm etc gets soaked up by my hair and it goes frizzy so then it needs washing and redoing anyway

Can you imagine, I have to put my top into a different bag as it is wringing wet.

I am sure my office would love me to come back from spin and go into a meeting without showering.

Yes of course, every morning, and again later on if I've been using suncream, been to the beach, exercised etc.

Every day, often twice a day. Hair wash around 3 times a week.

If I am leaving the house and interacting with other people - yes.

If I am WFH or a lazy weekend day and unlikely to go further than the garden - no.

Can I ask why you would not have a shower if you are not going out have a lazy day, but will if you are leaving the house?

Isn't that obvious?

Seeing other people - yes

Lounging around the house - no

I am exactly the same as the previous poster.

I shower everyday.

Why do people shower when they are leaving the house is it because they may have a whiff about them or that they do not want to be seen as unclean/dirty, where as some people do not care.

Before I had mobility issues, then I would have a bath or shower every day, first thing. Now, about every 4 days. It is what it is.

I can’t leave the house without a shower. I’m kind of sweaty.

However, this is definitely not the same for everyone. My husband is a very un-sweaty, un-smelly person. He just doesn’t smell! So those of you sagely saying you can always tell if a colleague hasn’t showered… you’re wrong! I can’t tell if my own husband has showered and there’s nothing wrong with my sense of smell!

I work 12-14 hours at a time on my feet and also exercise daily. I expect others are pleased I shower before work and my family are pleased I also shower before bed. I live somewhere with threatened drought so use a shower timer.

Peoole who don’t shower daily smell musty. They never believe it.
