Usually every other day unless I'm sweaty from heat or activity (then every day). I used to shower daily but found in my late 40s this was unnecessary because my skin and hair was getting dry. Once every other day works for me.

The key is to let your own body tell you when it's time and balance that with consideration of the people around you. That means no offensive smells, which includes body odor and perfumes and other artificial, so-called fresh scents that can make people gag as much as BO. It's not socially ok to force your scent on anyone but most people are too polite to let you know.


Believe me, if you're older than 2, you smell by the second day even if you don't think you do. I shower every day - I feel absolutely disgusting if I dont (hair every other day though, unless I work out). I'm female.


This is racist. Seriously. Some AA only wash their hair 1x a week and that works for them and the ammount of oils secreted.

I shampoo my hair every day because if I do not, my head just feels gross.

The skin on your scalp is akin to the skin on your face, it is just covered by more hair follicles. Yet, it still needs a daily cleansing to it every single day.

For this reason alone, I always wash my hair in my daily shower. Massaging my scalp with shampoo makes me feel completely cleaner.

I couldn't just put my hair in a shower cap, then wash my face, neck and body. I would still feel gross with my scalp unwashed.

It all depends on what I do that day, but I have no issue going a day or two without showering. I very much doubt that I smell. But I'm sure you all know better, lol.

Male here.

Depends on my level of activity. Shower every day but if I have active work will shower again.

I hate showering. Actually, I just hate being wet afterwards.

Always after I work out, but usually that averages out to every other day.

In colder month, every other day, unless I somehow get really sweaty.

In warmer months, every day. Even though it dries out my skin. Come July and August it might be twice a day. Particularly if there is a pool or beach involved.

DH and I each shower about every other day. Always after a workout. Obviously, we're not working out as often as we should!

I'm female. I shower usually shower twice a day. Once in the morning to wake me up and in the evening. Showers are relaxing and I work out 5 times a week after work, so I do not want to go to bed like that. On the weekends or days I don't workout, I shower once a day.

My boyfriend does the same thing as me. We are both extremely hygienic.

It occurred to me that I masturbate almost exactly as much as I bathe.

Female: once a day at least. Twice if I have gotten super sweaty working out or being outside.
