How often do you wash?

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

@Raidblunner

Everyday and everything in the sink after a number 2. Also in the evenings if together with my partner, just in case the lotto balls all fall in correctly Grin
You wash your bum in the sink after pooing?

@Givemeabreak88

The people that say they don’t smell probably do but are nose blind to their own smell but sorry the rest of us can smell you.

It's like smokers who can't smell their smoky houses

I don’t have time to shower every morning with three kids so I usually have one every evening when they’re in bed and if I do skip a day I always have a wash with a flannel etc.

Run him a bath and tell him to get in it. Act like it’s a nice gesture if you must and that way he won’t take much offence... I don’t want to be nasty as he could very well be suffering with depression (it’s not always visible with emotions) but you should sit down and ask him what part of a shower/bath he doesn’t like.

Daily as a minimum, same for DH

Every evening shower or bath.
If I've been to the gym or before going out, or on TOTM days - extra showers.
Teeth 2/3 times a day, mornings I wash my face, teeth etc so proper washing happens in the evening after all day of being active.
If I went to bed without shower/bath, which obviously did happen in emergencies or after intense night out - I am waking up tired and feeling shit. Uuuugh. Cannot imagine not washing daily.

I had a 'friend' young woman. She used to go to the gym then go home have her tea & go bed without shower/bath whatever & then come to work (in office next day) also without shower.
I will agree that she didn't sweat, as we used to go to the gym together but that's besides the point really. She told me she showered every 2 days. Used to feel rank when I'd had her visiting my house. Ghosted her in the end for a whole host of other reasons. Her feet used to stink in the office, could smell them when she was sat at desk next to me, she would grab my can of deodorant & spray her feet & then carry on as normal. Really pissed me off & was left thinking 'just get a shower' you skanky girl!

P.S shower habits confirmed after she had stayed at my house regularly... she gave me the 'ick' & I used to wash all bedding asap as soon as she had left!

Twice a day, first one in the morning, 2nd one after training.
Sometimes three a day, 3rd one if had a bad day at work (wash the day off, then I can relax) or if DH and I going out at the weekend or if it's been hot (we live in the tropics) or if I've been in the pool.
Lol - sometimes that can be four..... how I have skin left if beyond me.
