Every day after my morning exercise.  Since HRT I dont feel so grimy and perhaps I could skip if I dont exercise

Usually 2-3x a week. I suffered eczema when I was young, that means I get used to shower very rare. And my work is not physically demanding... so I still usually don't stink or feel unclean after 3 days

I shower once a day the most of the time an when I been out in the heat an all sweaty I will shower again.

I shower every morning. If I get dirty throughout the day I'll take another shower. I never skip washing my hair, I always feel grimy if I do since hair seems to collect the most dirt

I can't remember the last time I showered... 

I used to be like that. I think I did a proper shower once a year. Then a couple years ago I started taking a proper shower once every six months (I think). For the most part I just wash my armpits, under my chest and my privates. That's MAYBE once every couple weeks and I might take a proper shower once every couple months. But I don't stink....haven't been since I started using deodorant (which I didn't use until I was 16).

I'm really surprised at some of these answers. Days? A WEEK?! For me 12 hours is a long time, especially if I have been working or am going out of the house a while. Don't know if being pre transition is a factor but I have taken 2-3 showers/baths a day since forever.

During the summer, I shower pretty much daily-- I work at a summer camp and get pretty muddy and sweaty and gross in very short order. During the colder/less active months, I usually shower every other day. Before I started T, I frequently went 3 days sans-shower... now I get sweaty and smelly if I wait more than 48 hours.

At least every other night, but I try to shower every night. I guess I shower at night since I somehow get very dirty during the day, so seems pointless to shower in the morning, and I will be clean when I got to bed, plus at night I get to stay in for like 15-30min since I wait until about 9pm, when my family goes to bed. Wash my hair every time I shower because if I don't, my hair starts to curl and it looks weird to only have one side of my hair to be curly while my other side is almost straight... maybe after my hair gets longer I will slow down on washing my hair.

Though I am trying to get into a habit of cold showers since it has been really hot lately, and I also didn't enjoy sweating in the shower. I also just like to feel clean and smell good(helps me feel better about myself, better when people tell me I smell good). Oh, and if I don't shower often, I get cysts behind my earlobes, but I have never had to worry about acne much

I try to every day, but sometimes I can't really handle seeing my body for that long.

there is only one part of my body I can't stand, , other than that I am fine, and right now it is 90 degrees in my apartment WITH the cooler on 24 hours a day I am naked and taking a COLD shower every hour

1-3 times a day. I love showering and I also am a germ-phobe OCD

Wow... You're really sensitive to heat. Might I suggest a fan? Usually 30 °C is more or less where I turn the fan on, and with it, I can easily be fine and sweat little if at all, as long as I don't move a lot, until it reaches 40 °C. (FYI, in 90 °F is ~35 °C). Fans are awesomely effective.

At least once every day

I usually shower daily, but with my hot water heater broken, it can be as often as once a week. I have to boil water and sponge bath till I get the funds to fix it. With my hair, and shaving, it takes almost 2 hours. My body hair isnt thick or anything, but my legs are pretty long and its easy to miss spots. Lots of touchups!

3-4 times a week for me. I have dry skin, and the water is really hard here, so just being under the hot water will dry me out like no tomorrow. I can't get my hair even the tiniest bit wet, either, otherwise it gets greasy, so there's no point unless I go through the motions of shampooing/conditioning it. Besides, my best hair comes after at least 12 hours after showering anyways.

If I didn't have to worry about shaving, I could possibly go for longer tbh.

Once a year, on christmas. I like my skin to have its own flavour. The smell ages like a fine wine. And after i'm done showering (takes about a day, so christmas starts a day late in my house), i vacuum up all the excess skin and call some protection agency to decontaminate the building in time.



"obviously kidding"

Nah, i shower at least every two days and more when i'm not well mentally, to wash my mental troubles away for a bit.

once or twice a day.  Sometimes in the Georgia summer heat its almost necessary to just jump in for a rinse off when you get home from class or something. 

Once a day but only wash my hair every other day.

I shower every day, but I only wash my hair every other day when its dyed. How do some people not shower for weeks or longer??? I absolutely don't understand that.

Some people just don't get dirty. I envy them. I start smelling weird when I put my pants down after a bit less than 24 hours after a shower.

Also, I wash my hair every, uh. Week, basically. I wonder if it makes me weird. I want to minimize damage, so.
