I sort of agree that some people's fixation on cleanliness borders on the obsessive. I shower most days, but if I skip now and again it's no big deal. I don't sweat much and always use deodorant. My hair looks better when I wash it, but on days I skip I just pull it off my face with a clip or ponytail. Brush teeth, spot wash critical areas, use a good toner and moisturizer on my face and I'm good to go.
Now one thing I never skimp on is washing hands. I'm convinced it has saved me from many colds and viruses.

Before I had kids (pre mid 30s) I showered most days, but would sometimes skip. Always after working out, though. I have moderately greasy skin, nothing terrible, but the skipped day wasn't that big a deal.
Once pregnant, though, wow, did my skin ever change! While pregnant and when nursing, I found that I could go several days without showering (not immediately postpartum, btu after say the first 2 months or so).
Now, I work out 3 times a week, and shower and wash hair those mornings. I get the most compliments on my hair and outfits the days I don't shower. I would skip SAturdays as a normal day off, btu I typically now also skip sundays. I wouldn't go to work 2 days without showering, but no one would ever suspect.
On super hot days if I'm running around a lot (I mean seriously: it's not like I'm doing manual labor in the fields, I work in an air conditioned office for pete's sake), I may take a quick shower. I have longish, full hair, so it's a pain to wash.
I think this excessive showering is really weird, and a bit obsessive. People need to live in their environment, you know, not remove themselves from it.
And good gravy, no we don't have bed bugs, nor am I in immediate danger of catching flesh eating bacteria. Quite honestly, I bet we're a lot healthier than you all (in terms of allergies, etc). I think modern life and a fixation on cleanliness is detrimental to our immune systems, to be honest with you.
Thank you for being so honest. And senseless, and dirty.

I shower every morning -- I just can't wake up without a shower (and the accompanying 10 minutes of quiet!). Some people need coffee to get going in the morning, I need a shower.

When I came here from Europe I was appauled at how poor American's hygiene was. Friends didn't shower regulary or wash their hair and they kept their room/house nasty and filthy.

Those of you who don't shower - do you exercise? If so and you don't shower after, gross.
I shower every night before bed. If I work out earlier in the day or have an event on a weekend night after running around all day I'll shower before the event (and again before bed).

I shower daily but wash my hair every other day unless I do a cardio workout.

It's nice to hear someone appreciates what most of us take for granted.

What do you do after a BM at work? Serious question.
BM at work only if it can't be avoided. I wash the minute I get home. Serious answer.
Is it on your mind the whole time between the BM and when you get home?

I shower every other day, sometimes once every 3 days. My hair always looks nice, I don't need to wash it every day. I have dry skin so showering too much isn't great for me.

I shower five days a week. I may be the first to use the too busy excuse. I cant shower before work because it would wake everyone up, but I usually shower at night. Every once in a while, I don't fit it in.
