TIME: "You Asked: How Often Should I Shower?"
- Thread starter Rvaan
- Start date
Take cold or lukewarm showers and then use a light oil or Shea butter while you're still wet. That should really help alleviate dry skin.
I shower every day with a pH balanced soap. I only lather up my groin, pits and ass.
I shampoo once a week and condition every day (also pH balanced).
No complaints from my germophobic and anal SO of almost 5 years.

Lol hygiene threads on here are always incredible. I gym or do some form of physics activity everyday ( ex/ yoga everyday ) so daily shower is a must
Cool, so unless you're gymming or excruciating hard every day, that's a shower once every 2 or 3 days, yeah?
Gotcha
This is literally several scientists and experts saying this
Why would you ignore it
Wtf
Do you ignore what they have to say when it comes to other shit, too? Like recovering from illnesses, controlling bad symptoms, taking medication, etc?
Yeah, two days is my personal limit except the couple of times a year when I happen to not move much for several days
Yeah I shower around three times a week. More depending on my activity and the heat. People have brainwashed themselves into thinking they need to shower everyday.
To get rid of smell is exactly why people shower. Plus it's a relaxing daily ritual and I personally get lots of good ideas when showering, especially if I had been stuck on a problem.
Also people are fully aware of the drying out of skin and that's why body oils and moisturisers are so popular.

"may increase the odds of an illness" isn't enough reason for me to not want to smell good everyday.
I can't survive without at least showering twice a day. I would expect everyone to achieve at least once.
I shower (incl. hairwash) every other day. On the off days I just do a quick scrub of my face, pits and junk. Not worried about ass funk since I wash instead of wiping.
It might be oily because you wash it daily. The sebum glands on the scalp respond to increased washing frequency and compensate for it somewhat.
As with most hygiene related things most of the blame lies with the companies selling hygiene products
I shower on workout days or if I'm going somewhere nice with someone so roughly 4-5 times a week. Not a big deal if I miss a couple days as I use deodorant and don't smell like shit from poor diet and hygiene.
I have a cousin that would shower 4 times a day and he got a staph infection so...

I shower when I'm dirty, which coincidentally happens only once every when I feel like it.
Some of the reactions in this thread are borderline hysterical.
I wash my armpits, groin, ass & feet every day. The rest though, I only do after a workout or when it's really hot. Wash my hair 2 times a week and trying to go for once a week because I noticed it getting less and less greasy when refraining from scrubbing it too often.
I don't shower when I don't move a lot.
I've never had anyone (family/friends/lovers/colleagues) tell me I stank.
AND I PEE IN THE SHOWER TOO.
2 and 4 are correct. Workout mornings and shower twice a day though? Nah.
What a fucking waste of precious water. If you absolutely need to shower every day, at least only do it once.
And going one day without a full-body shower won't kill you.
you can combat smell with a soapy washcloth at the sink. People def do a full body shower to damn often. what is funny to me is people showering twice a day but wear their stinky clothes multiple days.
I assume, by "showering" they are not just referring to the act of splashing yourself with water but also include using soaps etc?
Or is just showing with water and nothing else just as bad to your skin? which I almost cannot believe to be the case

Every other day. But it depends on what I do. If I'm excercising then ofc I'm going to shower afterwards. But if I'm only sitting on my ass all day I don't see the point in showering. It seems like a big waste of water first and foremost.
I now live in SC too.
I was born and raised in Europe though and never understood what an anti perspirent was til I got to South Carolina. Whew.
Yeah, showers are needed daily for us.
i brush three times a day. And while 7 hours is good, it depends on the person. I know people who need 10 hours of sleep.
I think they mean with soap, but depending on your water, I believe that can dry out your skin on its own to some degree.
True. You can wash up. But if you're like me, showering is easier. I'm in and out in five minutes.
