My kids are in the ~3x a week camp, usually on the days they have activities. My DH showers almost daily but skips an occasional weekend day. I shower e/o day. I don’t care what you call me. I’m 40 and it works for me! |
We do every other day in summer and 2-3x a week in the winter. Kids have very dry, sensitive skin and the less they bathe the better off their skin is. |
Are you me?? Both the kids and self bathing habits. I'm 34 and I have never gone in for the daily showers (unless I HAD to, like, I had sports practice on what would have been a skip day otherwise). |
P.....U! |
My kids don’t bathe more often than 2-3x a week unless they’ve gotten especially dirty or sweaty. We’ve had 2 bath days when they’re little and had poosplosions...I’m not opposed to bathing and have no problem telling when they’re dirty. Mine are not close to puberty or stink age yet, ymmv.
And yes, I keep the same habits for myself. I won’t shower more than every other day unless I’ve gotten super dirty or sweaty. Don’t wash my hair more than 2x per week. Great hair, skins not dry and irritated, so I’m happy. |
+1 That is absolutely revolting. |
+1,000!!! |
Don’t care!!! |
If you are a woman and haven’t worked out and are smelly and absolutely need a shower after one day, what is going on? Do you sweat a lot? Do you eat a ton of junk food? Where is the smell coming from? I am fascinated by people who feel or are in fact filthy after about 16 hours without exercise. |
I try to do every night but if my younger ones fall asleep before bath time(like in the car), I don’t wake them up to give them one. I would never take them to an activity or class though if they hadn’t been bathed within the last 24 hours. My kids play outside nearly all day sweating and getting dirty, so if they have gymnastics in the afternoon I give them baths right before we go. My five year old obviously doesn’t have body odor but they definitely have a smell when they’ve been playing outside all day. |
You.all.are.hysterical! OMG, so funny. |
So you bathe your kids before exercise? Huh. |
I'd imagine that armpits and genital/anal area would probably be pretty ripe without regular cleaning. I hope the non-daily bathers at least do a wh*res bath. |
PP here. I’m not asking about imagining. Do you actually reek after one day without vigorous exercise? I don’t at all. What do you attribute the dire need to wash after one day? Are you sweating a lot? Is it hormonal? dietary? Do you not wear deodorant or wipe?I’m really trying to understand this obsession with filth because neither I nor my kids stink to high heaven by nighttime. Is it just the fear of smelling or do people actually stink after one day? |
I have no idea whether I smell after not showering because I shower daily. |
