Usually daily. I'm a nurse student so it's a big deal.
Sometimes like on days off when I have no reason to sweat I'll just do a washcloth quickie at the sink.

I shower everyday in the morning so I start the day nice and clean. I feel more confident when I smell like "mountain breeze" or whatever . After work and/or classes I usually work on my old cars. I get covered in grease, oil, gas, dirt, carb cleaner, everything, so I take a very thorough shower before I go to bed or before going out.

Something funny. A couple of days ago, I was really tired as the holiday started, just as I NEEDED to do the laundry because I was absolutely out of clothes, so no shower, because I had nothing to wear afterwards. Silly, I know, because dirty clothes on a clean body is still better than everything being dirty, but that's what happened anyway.

Add a bit of irresponsibility to the mix, and I found myself procrastinating/forgetting the laundry for four days. Which means I didn't change or shower for four days. To my surprise, apart from the bits down there that stunk whenever I went to the washroom, I never smelled at all. And even more to my surprise, my face's skin was so very clear after these days of dirtiness.

It taught me that my cleaning and moisturizing products are more awful than I thought. They're not supposed to be worse than staying dirty. :p

I shower twice a day once when I get up and again right before I go to bed. Sometimes I'll substitute a bath for a shower as I love to relax in the whirpool.

Depend  more times a day  a washcloth quickie at the sink to keep parts fresh.
But minimal three times a week a shower.

For me, it's currently once a week. I hate showering. As you can imagine, for me it's mostly the act of seeing myself naked for a prolonged period of time (any amount of time is too long tbh) that bothers me the most, though tbf there are other factors like eczema that make me reluctant to shower also. To be honest, I'd probably go for once a fortnight if I thought I could reasonably get away with it.

The idea of showering every day, or even every other day, just makes me shudder...

I have to shower every day or my eczema gets out of control, I can't wait to get a place with a bath so I can resume using my bath oils, I use oilatum & it turns the water a milky white which prevents me from seeing the deformed bits through the water.
I lost my bikini bottoms the other week so wear underwear in the shower so I don't see what's hanging down there.

How bad is your eczema?
Have you tried Chinese herbal tea to clear your skin up?
It tastes like mud mixed with hot water & is expensive but it does work, I just can't afford the £50 per week price tag right now, as soon as i'm back in a job i'll resume it ASAP

Oh yeah, and you always have two choices: nearly boil in the beginning, or freeze in the end, because it cools down so fast. I hate baths. Can't relax because you float or slip away, and have nowhere to put your head (or the air pillow just doesn't hold in place), can't wash yourself properly, can't sit properly, can't lie properly, and can't swim. Rwar.

I don't have a bath where I live but the best treatment for my skin is at least 20 minutes soaking in the bath, unfortunately I almost always fall asleep & wake up an hour later wrinkled & freezing cold, yuk.
I'm 6ft so my feet are against the wall which prevents me from going under in my sleep in case anyone was about to post about the dangers of drowning.

Once or twice a day depending on whether I have a hankering to workout and actually lose some of this weight.

I have to wash at least once a day. If I go to the gym I'll shower immediately after every workout, and I sometimes go to the gym twice a day. If I don't go to the gym I have to have a bath.

Unfortunately I'm naturally very sweaty so I don't have the luxury of not keeping on top of my personal hygiene. I start sweating by 8am and just get sweatier as the day goes on, so it's important to keep clean.

Ahaha, don't worry. Unless you have some severe issues, you WILL wake up and cough if you become unable to breathe in your sleep.

If you shower two three four times a day, do you change your clothes every time?  That's a lot of clothes.

Usually when I'm in the shower more than once a day, I don't soap up every time. Just rinse and put back on the same clothes. If I soap up, it usually calls for fresh clothes. But that's really rare more than once a day.

Oh I don't always shower after working out, particularly in the winter. I've always got my window wide open, and the sweat just evaporates after a bit.

generally everyday exept when its weekend or I dont have anything to do.

if im not expecting to go outside then I can go 1-2 days without, depending how long im to stay at home.
if the weather is very cold I usunally shower 2 times a day to get warm.

Natkat, do you spend a lot of time outside? Because when the weather is really cold, personally, I generally just stay inside where it's nice and warm. o:

nothing like a hot shower in the morning and bath in the evening...any problem can be solved by soaking yourself in warm water, abeit temporarily.

I take one in the morning and one at night. And yes, I do tend to get a little funky as I sleep. >.<

I know it's probably weird/unusual but since my last post i've found I only show like once a week... I know the immediate response to that comment is "ewwww" but being out of school and not working right now means i'm not very motivated lol. But surprisingly by day 6-7 my hair is only JUST starting to get a bit greasy and I smell fine, at least to me and no one has ever commented on any smell. I do shave pretty much every other day though so i think the scent of my after shave aids in me smelling fresh. But yeah.... I dunno. I've read some scientific data that says shampoo it really friggin bad for your hair and I believe it. The day after my shower my scalp with be extremely dry and itchy but after a couple of days it feels better and my hair looks great. So yeah, I personally think showering exscessivly is far more harmful to ones health than doing it less frequently. We produce oils, it's the same as why you would never bath a dog every other day, it just rips the oils from the body, thus you produce more oils and thus you smell more and are more oily. If you start spreading out your showers more (you'll go through a weeks period of omg theres so much greasyness) you'll find you body relaxes and stops over-producing oil/grease and thus you smell better and your hair stays healthier!

However I do believe if you are meeting someone important you should really shower before hand and send to your over-all apperance as a whole.

Daily, at night. Sleeping on it ruins my hair, though; I may soon switch to mornings.

Yeah that's a good point for many

That's exactly why I switched to mornings a few years ago.  It's also nice to start the day feeling clean

Twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. I smell odd in the morning and need it then, and after a day, I've sweated some so I need it again.
