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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Almost ironic. If you have to wash 2+ times a day, and people didn't know that, you may actually be perceived as the stereotype of the nerd that doesn't bathe.

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.

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

Post by: Ian Sturrock
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. :(

I never really do anything strenuous, so I dont sweat much, normally I'm freezing my arse off anyway.
I wash when my hair gets greasy, about 3 times a week.
God invented anti-perspirants and deodourants for a reason!

Once a day. Might be a few days in a month that I'll shower twice.
Surprised to see so many people that shower twice or more every day.

I am a clean freak when it comes to my body....its a shame that I don't feel the same way about my room  I keep both my kitchen, bathroom, and hobby room very neat, tidy, and spotless though.

Meh....Living in a place like NYC, you tend to not worry whether a person washes every 48 hours or not. It'll be a problem if they hadn't showered for week though. But you don't really care if half the air you breath in is cancerous.

One to start the day, and then depends (sometimes I forget).
Also, whenever I accumulate too much sweat, so after exercise and so on. The heat also means more sweat of course, and so more washing.

I shower once a week (I've found that if I shower to much, I actually get more sensitive to diseases and bad stuff in general).
Washing face etc, every day.

Once a day, occasionally twice. Haven't washed my hair in months though. Keep it short, then around time to wash it I buzz it.

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). Automatically Appended Next Post: 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.

Once per day, If i dont have training of some sort on that day. Which most likely makes it 2 times a day the majority of the time.

I'm in the healthcare field. People don't want to smell my armpits, and I need to be sure I don't contaminate my patients or my tools with blood, spit, sweat, etc. thus, I wash and groom constantly.

once a day usually, normally in the morning.
Sometimes when I want to sleep in, I'll take two showers the day before (one morning and one before bed).

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.

Once per day, just before bed, unless something happens to get dirty then more often.

Shower

brush ma teefs
lock the doors
tuck in the kids
climb in bed and realize I have to get up in 5 hours for work...

Well when Im done flying around and eating people, I always visit the near waterfall. Sometimes there is anxious dragon hunters and one time a darn Dragonborn! At those times, I usually pass. This happens to me about every second day.

"No need to shower, I use Linux."
Actually, I normally shower in the morning, and sometimes take a scalding-hot bath in the evening if I need to relax. Rather than being a fat sweaty guy, I try to be a clean fat sweaty guy.

Yall are some water wasting mofos!
The only reason anyone would have
to wash daily is if they are expending
enough energy daily to sweat perfusely!
And I know damn well that most of us
"gamers" don't have a job in that line
of work. So either quit lying about it
or quit wasting water!
