How often do you shower/bathe?

Contributor: SilverIsis SilverIsis
I shower every other day but I also love to end my days with a long soak, especially in the winter months.

Honestly I wash my hair once a week and bathe then shower maybe twice a week at most. What can I say I'm a dirty girl

I typically shower at least once a day. There are times, however, when I'll shower twice a day. Then there are times that I'll skip a day. It all depends.

Once a day, but if it's hot and sticky outside, a second shower when you feel like you need it seems pretty normal to me.

Most of the time, because I have a busy schedule, I shower every other day. I don't have much body odor, so it isn't a big deal.

Every day most days; it averages out to around 5 times per week.

Once daily. I never need extra bathing. I shower at night anyways because I don't like going to bed dirty, so that also makes it less likely for me to get dirty enough to need an extra shower.

Usually every 2-3 days. Funny, the only time people say "oooh, stinky!" is AFTER I tell them how often I shower. Sure, if it's really hot I might have one more often. But this is because I want to and I feel that I need it, not because of the societal belief that the world will come to an end if you miss a shower.

At least once a day. Usually two because I run and workout pretty often.

I agree with this. I shower every day but I don't always wash my hair.

Just curious, but are you very active? Like, do you exercise daily or live in a hot place?

Everday at least once. If I'm sick or happen to get dirty again I will have more than one shower a day.

I'm OCD about showering so I shower as many as 5-6 times a day/night. I live in Cali and it isn't terribly hot since I am 3 blocks from the beach. I just like to smell good and be extra clean.

For the most part every other day, if it's really hot or I get sweaty then every day. I work at a desk in an air conditioned office and come home to a nice cool house to do homework or read. Not anything too strenous for me.

I shower every other day or so. It's not good for your skin/hair to lose their natural oils so often.

Every other day. I have dry skin and hair, and if I shower every day, I get scaly and my hair falls out even more quickly. If I've been working out and sweating, I give the sweaty parts a quick rub-down with white vinegar if it's not a shower day, so I don't have to cover myself in lotion just to keep some of the natural moisture in my skin.

It's really damaging to the skin and hair to use a ton of detergents on it all the time, not to mention the environmental impact of using that much water for bathing every single day. I've had people ask the secret to my beautiful complexion, and they all seem stunned when I tell them that I wash my face with natural soap every other day, no more, unless something is actually on my skin that needs removing.

Once a day, usually at night, but if it's one of those summer days where you feel all icky, then more than once.

Normally just once a day after work.

Every day, I hate feeling dirty.
