DD lying about showering

[MotherOfOlafs]

Since DD turned 14 at the end of last year we’ve had issues with her hygiene. She will run a bath or switch on the shower but not actually get in, she’ll wet her hair instead. She then swears until she’s blue in the face that she has. I can tell she hasn’t (her towel will still be folded neatly or her sponge will be bone dry etc).
I’ve spoken to her and explained as a teenager she will sweat more and needs to keep clean and she agrees but then won’t do it. How else can I go about this? She’s neurotypical and had no issues with showering or bathing until recently. She also has short hair so it’s not a case of it’s too much bother to wash it.

This is the only way. It's not mean, the truth hurts sometimes and smelly teens need to know!

What do you mean by free bleeds?
She doesn't use any sanitary products?
How does she managing in the classroom?
This is batshit.

Seconding this. Our bathroom gets a bit cold and I have to convince myself to shower because of it. If I was already a bit lazy and a teenager that could be all it took for me to avoid it completely.

I remember doing this at 9/10 years old. Setting the shower going, not getting in, pretending I'd brushed my teeth etc.
(I honestly can't remember my mum saying anything, but I'm sure she would have had a word with me if I had smelt bad). I was a fat kid too.
But I remember my dad came to pick me up to take me to visit my cousins and while we were playing, I went over to stand by my dad, leant on him and he told me, in front of everyone, to go away because I smelt... Started the showers and teeth brushing the next morning, as I was horrified!
Although I remember being really embarrassed and upset, he did me a favour!
Edited to add - I think mine was laziness, nothing underlying.
