Lol - I read this subject line and was all ready to espouse the virtues of Devlan Mud...

Anyway, Im up to 3 times a day at the moment - once at home, then a jog to work at 32 Degrees - shower at work, then a jog home at 39 Degrees - shower again.

Once a day, a while before bed. Gives my hair time to dry and I only need a few minutes in the shower anyway.

No need to shower more than once, because I don't run around sweating all day and five days a week are spent inside a school.

Usually once a day, sometimes more, sometimes less. Depends what else I am doing that might make me dirty, or keep me clean.

For those who are washing more often, have you considered the damage you could be doing to your skin? By washing so often (especially if you use relatively harsh soaps) you are actually killing the layer of bacteria on your skin which protect you from harm. Not to mention damaging the skin underneath.

It is one of the reasons that health professionals in hospitals etc don't just wash their hands when they more areas or before/after seeing a patient, but also use barrier creams and moisturisers too.

So, if you are washing a lot, either cut down if you don't really need to wash, or use softer soaps and/or moisturisers.

Plus you cut down on your water and power consumption and help save the planet (woo!) if you shower less - saving you money.

Gha,
Once per day unless i work to hard and have to get clean. Or if i bath before bed, for some reason i have to at least shower in the morning. so i guess up to 3 times a day rarely but most likely once a day.

Edit: just for FYI though, i have 2 kids, they bath once or twice a week. im not sure if thats relevent but i do like talking about my kids every so often

Every couple of days on average, my days off are spread out in the week, Tues and Sat, and unless I'm going somewhere or I need a shower its rare I take one on those days.

Basically not willing to waste the water when I don't require the shower. Although I'm more likely to take daily showers in the summer.

In the winter its not uncommon for me to take around three showers a week.

I had a major paranoia attack about a year ago, I was showering about 3 times a day, but 1: my mates told me I was being a little bit crazy, and 2: I realised it was a little excessive.

If something hot/dirty (temperature/visible uncleanliness) has happened I will wash even when not sceduled to do so, otherwise I wash(like at a sink with flanel and soap) every morning at the least and bathe 3 times a week...as this is the internet and I am anony-mouse (apart from having my name up there...) I admit to being lax in the extreme over these point's when I know I'm not going out or am ill.

After some disturbingly detailed analysis of my cleaning patterns, I'd loike to point out that (as the survey is about) I make sure I'm clean before going out for any kind of social interaction.

Normally once per day, in the morning as soon as I wake up. If I've had heavy or dirty work and have been sweating or am covered in mud, I would wash again afterwards, but my job rarely makes me sweat.
If I'm socialising after work though I might consider showering again, depending on how clean I feel.

Wait a minute. Is 'wash' considered taking a shower or bath? I read that as washing your hands, which I probably do up to 12 times per day. I only shower once per day, unless necessary.

I've apparently been blessed with an uncanny ability to not look and smell terrible, no matter how unwashed I am. That said, it varies greatly. At times, it's multiple times per day (especially those humid summers when the shower is about the only place you don't feel gross), other times once every day or two (if you don't work up a sweat, dry winters give you quite a bit of leeway before you hit any significant skankiness). I have gone unseemly amounts of time without bathing, and plenty of times, don't get me wrong, but hygiene for me is more about health, for my own benefit, than to avoid an offensive odor and/or appearance.

I work in a body and paint shop, not only do I wash frequently, I have to clean my hands with laquer thinner several times a day to prevent the paint from building up. I attribute the fact that I almost never get sick to my constant chemical exposure, I doubt whether germs or bacteria can even live in my blood! The downside is that I will probably eventualy come down with some horrific form of cancer that they will name after me, or my future children will be born looking like chaos spawn.

Add in 85+ degree temperatures and it gets even more fun!

Once per day. I am fairly adamant about this and do not like being un-clean. (Though Papa Nurgle is still dear to my heart).

I make exceptions, usually when camping is involved, or if I'm only being delayed a few hours (such as coming home from a trip/party, etc) then I won't shower in the morning. I will, however, attempt to remain as clean as possible in the meantime.

I'm close to obsessive, but nothing serious, and I can easily drop the compulsion if it would inconvenience others, especially on trips, etc.

I shower twice a day usually. I will shower and actually use soap in the morning, and depending on the days activities, just rinse before bed. All depends on things like temperature, work, working out, etc. Pretty much, I use soap more often than not.
I also only shampoo a few times a week, which actually gives me compliments on my hair. But I can't go a day without washing my skin at least once. Trust me, not a good idea.

Once per day. I'd really like to be able to shower twice a day, but finding the time is hard. It's split about 50/50 if I do it in the morning or a night though. It honestly don't think it's enough, as I feel pretty groty sometimes.

If I'm absolutely sure I'll have no human contact for the next 24 hours, I might skip day just to be lazy. However, I have to be really sure I'm not going to be around anyone. It's just plain wrong to not bathe and then, subject people to your rankness.

All it takes is one person to stink up a whole room, so it just one person with poor hygiene can color how people perceive a group. All you can do is try and keep your distance and not let them get their funk all over you. I think it's ignorance mostly, some folks just don't get how ripe they are. Certain people just need to be told that if you're over 10 years old bathing is not at all optional.

I wash every other day, but I wash my hair and face every day. I don't(for myself at least) see the point in washing every day or even more often unless I trip into mud or something like that. I also very very rarely sweat(I only sweat from heat, not from physical movement, and I live in Alaska... so yeah), so maybe that's why. I honestly think our culture is a little obsessed with washing ourselves, but eh, whatever.
What I do is quite normal, the people who actually shower every day is the people who have mohawks or straighten their hair or whatever. Everyone else washes just about every other day and sometimes once a day in Alaska. Some less, but they're a minority(and they do stink, that's true).

(see, b/c if you wash 2 times a day, it could possibly be because you sweat or stink easy...therefore making others possibly conclude you don't bathe)


edit: oh, btw, I put once a day (before bed), although sometimes it's twice a day (if i conjure up enough motivation to go to the gym in the morning).

By "wash" we mean a bath or shower right? Because I wash face and brush teeth at least twice a day, and wash my hands loads of times because I work in a lab. In fact I have to use moisturising cream because constantly washing my hands dries the skin.

I try to take a shower at least every other day, but I almost never do anything that makes me sweat or so, and I just moved to a new town where I don't really know anyone so it's not a lot of social interaction. Three times a week is probably more realistic.

I'm generally not a sweaty or smelly person, so I can shower every other day with no problem. However, if I do enough physical work to build up a sweat then I will shower shortly thereafter.

How often do I wash? Well, that depends on how much I get to paint that day and how far along I am on it. Usually basecoats take so long I feel like washing a couple of times for good shading is too fast. If you count glazing too that increases the frequency, especially when I paint paler or lighter colors.
hmm? oh, you meant shower?!

Additional showers are added as required by work-outs, or getting dirty doing other things like working on my race cars

Every 2nd day, usually. Occasionally if I've not been working up a sweat very much I'll let it slip to a 3rd day.

Once a day is too often, for good health -- and certainly showering several times a day is a great way to get old-man skin and bacterial infections...

I SHOWER daily, with soap and all that stuff...

In the evening I usually just rinse off before bed to clean off what little grime I collected during the day...

Im kind of in the other category because I dont wash my hair everyday, as its about a 10 minute process cause its long and very very curly.


Course im getting a new job in the hospital setting, so it will probably jump to twice a day with soap and washing my hair every evening after work...

Other; it really depends on my mental state. Suffering from the depression I do means that i'll be fine for a few days and i'll probably shower once on each day or once every other day, but if I hit a low spot then I usually won't be in any mood to do anything except lie in my bed and sleep, and that can lead to me not washing for a few days at a time.

you might want to finish reading what you posted before you make such strong statements this is taken from the *how stuff works* article

The chemistry of each person's skin is different, so showering ever day may not be as damaging to some people as it would be to others. Still, you might want to skip a shower every once in a while. You can also protect your skin by using soft soaps with warm instead of hot water. To top it off, apply a moisturizer after each shower. We all love feeling clean, but we also have to strike a balance between clean skin and healthy skin.


I do agree very much that not everyone needs to shower every day.... But certainly not showering for several days nauseates me even thinking about it

I did read it: "showering ever day may not be as damaging to some people as it would be to others" implies it is damaging to everyone -- just more to some than to others. And, well, as has been pointed out, showering doesn't necessarily *get* you clean, in any meaningful way -- it just makes you *feel* clean.

It's a huge waste of water or energy to shower every day, let alone 2-3 times a day. All for the sake of one's *feelings*? WTF? No wonder the planet is off to hell in a handbasket. :(

Also by that logic if I didn't run I would never shower.... I'd consequently build Nurgle based CSM army.

Every other day. (including hair, that's the most important, and visible part!) ... clothes get changed and I wash my face daily, though. Proper long bath too, I don't think showers get you properly clean since it's just a light spray of water on the surface of the skin rather than a proper hot soak to really get rid of the dead skin and other gunk.

I work from home and get barely any exercise, there just isn't the need for it.

Exceptions are if I'm going out or have been out.. or if it's a really hot summer day... then it can be as often as twice a day.

If I'm not in contact with other people I don't feel the need to bathe daily... can't stand going 3 days without though.

If you're kidding yourself into thinking this is anything less than once per day, please stop going outside. If you're defining this as once a day or more, carry on and ignore this post.


Its all situational to be honest, some unactive people that dont sweat, live in a cold climate or have dry skin can go for days at a time without becoming noticably smelly or dirty.
Not everyone is the same, if you cannot put up with someone that whiffs a bit, thats your problem as well as his
This doesnt incude me either btw, i wash once a day or more if its warm or i do anything that makes me sweaty, and my hands get washed loo many times a day to remember.

Once every two days. Being a girl and having a very dry skin, it would be really bad for me if I had to shower every day. My skin and hair actually feel best on the second day, on the shower days I usually feel itchy. I don't use any soap, only shampoo for my hair. god if I had to use soap my skin would most certainly crack right open XD I can't tolerate any ointments either. I just have to take quick showers of 5 minutes or less... I'm so glad I'm not sweaty at all, it's still easier to take care of dry skin than having to shower twice a day (that would be a nightmare for me).

And yes, everyone is different. Just because most grown men -need- to shower once a day to at least not smell (thanks, hormones), doesn't mean everyone does.

OK, I'm confused. Does "wash" mean "bathe/shower" on DakkaDakka? As far as I'm concerned, washing is the thing I do with a sink and bathing or showering is the thing I do with a bath or shower.

My usual routine is a shower every morning, shampooing every other day (or daily but more lightly if I've been using styling products), and a face wash every night. Additional face washing will be used as needed if I want to look my best when going out somewhere.
