I shower once or twice a week

I shower 3 times a week. People don't notice a thing. I don't sweat, and it's good for the environment

i do the same thing
its not that i dont like showering its that i am busy and forget until its too late because i hate sleeping with wet hair(horrible bedhead in the morning) but ya i only shower once or twice a week just make sure your hair doesnt look ratty, wear deoderant, brush your teeth, wash your hands, and wear clean clothes. people wont even notice then. actualy people tell me i smell good on a regular occasion(which i find weird). it doesnt matter all that much people are jsut too picky about how you ought to live your life. it saves water too =D. and thanks for not being such a clean freak

I also only shower once a week - if that, but that's because I am probably depressed and dont have much to look forward to. When I was out of town for a few weeks, I'd regularly shower, dress up, put on make up, do my hair etc. Now I cant even be bothered to change out of my pajamas. It's depressing but everytime i want to shower I wonder: what for? No one sees me, it'd not like i got anywhere to be or anyone to impress and frankly, I am fine with oily greasy hair that i can just pull back in a pony tail and dont have to worry about fixing all the time.

So, no, it aint normal to shower once or twice a week but if you got crap going on in your life and aint with it, then in a way it is normal.

as long as you aren't smelly or visibly dirty i think there's nothing wrong with it. I only wash my hair once a week because its really long and a pain in the ass to wash and straighten. I just make sure to take a quick bath and wash my face EVERYDAY. Atleast wash your face and brush your teeth daily and youre set.

I would say so. As long as your habit doesn't strongly effect others, it's your body, do what you want with it.

I shower every other day. Apparently washing your hair every day deprives it of natural oils... or something.

I dont think its necessary to shower everyday, unless you do some type of intense activity or something. If I have a week where I dont really do much, i usually just shower 2-3 times that week.

I do the same thing but I wash my face and torso in a sink shower almost 4 times a week. As long as you're cleaning yourself.

i also don't do much, don't go out, and don't really sweat. i too would showr like twice a week, but i always, every day, washed my armpits and also my privates at least in the sink. cause those are the places u sweat the most, odor- wise.
anyways, i thought my hygene was ok, but i kept getting comments from my family that i had bad odor, and so now i try maing an effort to wash and change my clothes more often.
thats another thing, i would wear the same shirt for days, and smell it, if it seemed all right i would go on wearing it, but the people living with me made comments so am trying to be more aware of this.

I used to work 6 days a week and be gone from home for most of the day and was so busy that sometimes would be too tired to shower so the longest Ive gone without showering was like 2 weeks and no one ever told me I stink. Probably cuz I tried to at least be hygenic in other ways like washing face n hands and brushing hair n teeth and wearing perfume n deoderant.

well if u dont do enough to sweat or anything then u dont need to take a swower everyday

I usually wash myself over 1 day :P I spend lot of time in home so I don't get dirty or sweaty or whatever and next day after shower I still smell yummy and my hairs are good - I am clean.

But you should really wash urself more than 1-2 times LOL :P Morning Shower: good for waking up that is my uberproffesional advice to you!

Reading all this already makes me wanna go to shower :X I am going to shower now

Many people will judge you if you admit to not showering every day, but honestly, it's not necessary, natural, or even healthy (skin gets dried out).

However, once a week is probably pushing it a bit. As long as you haven't sweated and you don't smell, once every few days is fine. Just make sure to clean yourself well after using the bathroom. If your hair gets greasy, you should wash it once a day (just bend over the tub and put your head in). Same with your face, if it gets greasy, wash with a mild soap or cleanser. In winter, you can get away with showering less, and in summer, you have to shower more.

But bottom line, the only time a shower is necessary is when you're dirty. For most of us, that's at least every few days.

lol skip weekends you know!! you want the boy going on a date smelling of sweaty balls and big macs i dnt think soo XD im a very busy university student in the morning and a party sex god at night so most days i shower twice even three times after i come bk from nyt of clubbing i hate sleeping all sweaty nd what not!! twice a weekk!! its just not right mate

im the same way.. i dont do much so i dont feel the need to get ready for sitting at home.. not to mention wasting water.. when i do go out i shower of coarse but i dont see it as a big deal to be stinky alone haha and ppl say i smell good anyway

you can shower twice a week its ok. i shower everyday but i dont use soap

I try take a shower twice a week but it doesn't always work out like that. So I usually just wash up everyday and take showers on Fridays and Sundays. Does anyone else just do "wash ups"?

I shower twice a week and wash my hands and face every other day, dont do privates or anything other area unless in shower

Actually... Showering everyday, and washing your hair everyday can sometimes be more harmful than beneficial. Unless you have some sort of medical condition that dictates you have to shower every single day, I'd try for every other day instead.

Hard water, chlorine, harsh chemicals in shampoo-bodywash-ect, can actually dry out skin and cause more harm than good. You have to let your body's natural oils replenish themselves.

I dunno, I shower every day, but that's because I get really oily hair if I don't. It may depend on your hair type (I know someone with very curly hair who doesn't shower as often--like once every three or four days) and the oiliness of your scalp/skin. Wash your face with some sort of cleanser if you're worried about breaking out, and use deodorant if you're worried about how you smell.

Shower when u feel the need to but dont walk around stankey.

In the time it takes to fill a wash basin, and wash your armpits and private parts, it would be just as quick to take a shower.Then you are clean and sweet-smelling all over!!!

When I got married, I was 10 days into my last shower. My new wife didn't complain. I'm 48 now and I've never showered more than 2 or 3 times a month since I was on my own. To me, this is perfectly normal.

Shower at least every other day, dude. B.O. is unattractive and should be embarrassing.
Or shower every day of the week and skip weekends.

instead of ur spending time posting on forums wondering if its normal or not why dont u just go have a shower!

i had a friend that barely showered. we never wanted to hang out with him cuz he just stank so bad. dont do that to urself... showers and soap are there for a reason.

Yes,it might not be "normal" by today's standards. But its much more healthier. Just shower when you start feeling dirty. That's that good way

It depends on where you are. I'm half Australian and half Filipino and I got my mother's habit of taking a bath twice a day. In the morning before going to work and at night when I'm about to sleep.

Please shower... Showering feels nice especially when you're about to sleep.

I tend to shower head to toes 2 times a week. On some of the other days I do take some showers too but I use a shower cap to keep my hair from getting wet because, it is not healthy for the hair to get washed everyday because the oils from the scalp is to give nutrients to the hair on your head. But, I also have thick course hair. So keeping your goodies clean will keep you smelling nice and clean :)

No less than 3 times a week. There was this kid in my class when I was younger that showered once a week. He smelled like ass

I'm a college student and I live in a dorm hall with a public restroom and its way across the hall from my room. So its not convenient for me to shower daily. Honestly I only do it maybe twice or once a week. I dont feel like it is necessary to shower every single day unless you have a outdoor job like constitution or soccer. I think its eco friendly to not take them daily. But I defiantly feel people should shower regularly in the spring & summer months because that is when its warm and we could smell body odor more. But going 2 weeks or more without showering is a little to far.

Suppose it is. Like, I don't have all the damn time or care in the fk'n world to get naked and wet. Like, fuck. That all just take too much time. Why I would get naked and fucking shower? To get clean. I'm gonna get dirty again. So why even take a shower when I can take it later in the week?

I agree with Moonlighting comment. The normality of it is relative to your situation*

Example: chronic fatigue and other health issues so It's difficult for me to even eat food let alone shower effectively. In addition my body does not tolerate heat well at all and a cold shower would make me shiver and pass out because the stress would affect my blood sugar.

Long story short, perhaps once or twice per week. no less than once per week of course but usually because I would be busy.

As a side note, it first started because I heard that it wasn't good to shower every day due to skin oil and chlorine issues then I see now it went a bit out of hand, but again due to my health issues the chlorine evaporated in the air really bother smy lungs too.

Ishmael

i shower every single day

it isnt that bad....long as you wash up everyday and dont go telling everyone...

If your over 14, then you should shower more.
Once you go through adolescents it's pretty important.

Although if you at least wash your hands and your face once or twice a day then I guess it isn't that bad.
Does anyone ever think you smell bad or anything?
If anyone notices your hygiene then you probably should start washing more.

you should try shower all the time, but then again not that long ago (hundred years perhaps) people didn't shower every day either...

Gross!

I used to do the same thing. Now it's probably three times a week. Warm water feels good, but it just gets so boring. That's why I don't take a crap that often or brush my teeth (which I've begun doing again). If I want anal stimulation, I'll just get a dildo.
