How often do you wash?

Adsy1988 · 16/10/2020 22:04

Basically this. I shower everyday and my DP hasn’t washed since Tuesday, and regularly goes days without washing. Is this normal?

Everyday for me

Thermo · 16/10/2020 22:09

That’s a no from me.

I shower every morning, and more if I’ve been at the gym etc

maverickallthetime · 16/10/2020 22:09

Everyday!

TokyoSushi · 16/10/2020 22:10

Every morning and after exercise or before going on a night out (remember those!) so definitely once per day and twice a few times per week.

Well this makes a change from all the 'how often do you have sex?' threads.

nimbuscloud · 16/10/2020 22:11

Showers everyday for all in this house
Does he brush his teeth? Wash his hands properly etc?

Welshgal85 · 16/10/2020 22:11

Everyday for me! DP tends to shower every other day but that’s more due to his eczema, his skin can’t cope with it every day

Bookaholic73 · 16/10/2020 22:11

Every other day.
Not washing since Tuesday is 🤢

chunkyrun · 16/10/2020 22:12

Thats really not normal. Is this a recent thing or has he always had poor hygiene?

waitforitwaitforit · 16/10/2020 22:14

Me and DH shower every day. The DCs have a bath every day. It sets me up for the day.

micc · 16/10/2020 22:15

That's wild! Every day for me.. my DP sometimes showers twice a day as he has a manual job..

AskEvans · 16/10/2020 22:17

I dont think its necessary for everyone to shower every day unless you are particularly grimy as it can actually be bad for some peoples skin and health when they've done research on it. However I think he should be washing the parts of him that get the dirtiest at least every couple of days.

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 16/10/2020 22:18

Honestly... less than I should at the moment. Its one of the ways I can tell my mental health is really bad. But I'm single and always wash if I'm actually leaving the house Blush

widespreadpanic · 16/10/2020 22:19

Since Tuesday?!?!?! 🤢

Twice a day for me-morning and night. But I’m weird that way. 😂 Can’t put on any clean clothes without showering first.

However grew up only having one shower a day and then doing a wash up in the morning instead of a shower.

TazMac · 16/10/2020 22:20

Ha ha. I used to shower every morning and again after an evening run (3 times a week) but now if I’m not leaving the house (wfh and in the infected north, so not going out much), I do sometimes skip a day and just have a quick sink wash.

I always shower at least every other day and always after a run (3 times per week).

pointythings · 16/10/2020 22:21

I shower every day - I need it to wake up properly. DD2 has fibro and does every other day, because it uses up energy she needs for other things.

Not since Tuesday? Ew.

Givemeabreak88 · 16/10/2020 22:30

Daily, I wouldn’t go out if I hadn’t showered

SMurphy91 · 16/10/2020 22:33

Mostly once a day, sometimes twice if I've been hot/sweaty, sometimes I miss a day if I'm having a pj day and not going anywhere

RiseUpWiseUpEyesUp · 16/10/2020 22:38

Every day, same as husband. Sometimes he goes every other day but anything past that is stinky!

ihaveanidea33 · 16/10/2020 22:40

Twice a day.. Morning and night. Can't get in my bed with out washing the day off me.

Yesterdayforgotten · 16/10/2020 22:40

I couldnt wash my hair everyday as it would be really bad for it so just wash that every other day. I shower though mostly every day.

Changedmyname26 · 16/10/2020 22:40

I would say 5 times a week minimum. But unfortunately I'm in a similar boat to you, can't remember the last time DP had a shower, but I know it's not been in the last couple of days 🤢🤮

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 16/10/2020 22:41

Shower every morning, often have a bath at night. On a slow weekend I might potter around in pjs then have a bath in the afternoon.

DP showers every day, but never has a bath unless he is really ill.

Greenhairbrush · 16/10/2020 22:45

Bleurgh, since Tuesday!
Everyday for me. Maybe once or twice a year I’ll skip a day, if the day just runs away or I really can’t be bothered but that’s if I’m not leaving the house and like I say once or twice a year!
