[Solar Is My Name]

Shower one time a day. Hair wash every three days.

I'm a "senior" -- so not as much oily sweaty problems now compared to my younger days!

Before bed I shower,

 Summer days I shower mornings too.

I like to smell like a daisy, not p u !

I take a quick shower daily.  I don't have to wash hair daily because i am highlighted and permed so I tend to be dry.

YES, that flat-soured body odor smell will gag me every time!

On a sub tour once we were told that each man was allowed ONE 55 second shower a week.

I am still barely able to process it.

I shower once to twice a day since we're keeping score 😂

Oh, I bet she was RIPE by day 6!  I've worked with a lot of people from India and they don't bathe daily.  Add BO to their high, spicy diet is the worst.  I actually became nautious (NO exaggeration) when a co-worker was looking over my shoulder at my monitor as we were troubleshooting an issue.  I had to excuse myself.  I also worked with someone else from India whom our boss had to call into his office & tell him he needed to shower.

I know...I know...different cultures, but man it's tough to be that close to the little stinkers!

The OP really asked an interesting question. The responses were all over the place which really does surprise me. Thought everyone was raised with proper hygiene, but I've learned our backgounds and current lifestyles vary considerably from reading personal posts on QVC's Forums.

My next question following many of those answers would be: How long since you've shared a bed with your husband?

I simply can't imagine any intimacy for those who do not shower or bathe daily.

What made me laugh is the idea that most people seem to think that if someone says they don't shower or bathe that means they are running around all dirty and funky.  Do people it's either bath/shower or nothing????  1I didn't shower for three weeks after my knee replacement surgery but I was as clean and fresh as if I did because I filled the bathroom sink with water and washed my body, head to toes.  Those long handled bath sponges are amazing for washing your own back!  But even before that I was doing that every other day because showering was the cause of my dry flaky skin.  I don't think anyone here who talked about not showering or bathing was saying they didn't thoroughly WASH their bodies daily.
