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.

Lol i also FIRST thought it referred to washing miniatures - devlan etc. and would answer: Daily. As for washing myself: Less often! lol

once.

Just like me realy...

i wash much

Day's are always terrible unless I come out of the shower red like a lobster.

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.

The fact that their are people that dont wash at least every 48hrs discusts me.

I shower every day weather I need it or not

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.

Every single day. My hair gets it every 2-3 days or so due to some strange dryness or whatnot.

Every day... like I hope most people do. O.o

It's amazing that in the 21st century, some people still need to be reminded to wash in one way shape or form...

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.

Ummm Wash What?

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.

3 Times per day for me. When i wake up, after my morning gym session and after coming home from work

Weird as Poll.

Weird.

And yeah - twice e a day - in the morning.

Then once at night.

This. Once in the morning, again after I exercise.

Once a day

Two times a week.

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.

I definitely got on this poll ready to debate about harsher black and devlan mud. Oops. Completely disregard one of the "less than once per week" votes.

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 a day keeps the ...........dirt? away
