[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 40, and unless I'm exercising or otherwise sweating, only shower once per week. I use deoderant every day. I don't smell. I'm not working in the coal mines - I don't need a shower every day. Americans are obsessed with disinfecting and sterilizing themselves and their environments. Its not good for your skin.[/quote]

You DO smell.  As evidenced from this thread, people have a real reluctance to give offenders this feedback even when it's family.

I'm 58 and can now get by showering every 3rd day.  But, I also use a bidet and and my main form of exercise is walking. Even then, after 3 days of layering deodorant, it isn't as effective and the layers of deodorant are thick.  It's definitely time to shower.

The frequency with which I and most most Americans shower have nothing to do with disinfecting/sterilization but just good hygiene.  During allergy season, it's of medical benefit to get rid of the pollens clinging to hair.  [/quote]

Using a bidet does not make up for not taking a shower. Unless you are soaping up your whole body and using the bidet hose to rinse it off.

It’s one thing to skip a shower once in a while, but consistently taking a shower every three days or once a week leads to having an unpleasant odor. Even if you’re not strenuously exercising, you do sweat, and even the foods you eat will give off a smell through your pores.

For the sake of those around you, please shower every day.
