    I am not even remotely a "dirty" sort of hippie and I only take two or three showers a week. It's mainly because I am lazy and hate screwing with my super-temperamental hair, but also because too-frequent washing is actually bad for your hair.

    My boyfriend, though, it's kind of funny, is a super-clean freak, takes showers every morning, and yet still manages to look (and sometimes smell) like a dirty hippie. ;)

    I don't like taking showers, I feel so good when I'm dirty, but I don't want to make people have to smell my odor, so around 3 times

    I shower every morning and night, take a bath about 4 times a week. Wash my hair every 3-4 days.

    I shower once a day after work and running. I don't like feeling sticky from sweat.

    At least once a week or whenever I need to or feel dirty.

    Another reason why I like keeping my hair really short. Whenever I had it longer it felt terrible if I didn't wash it at least every other day.

    I don't understand why people take a shower twice in a day. Seems like a complete waste of time and water.

    I guess according to this, I am a dirty hippie, seems having a bath or a shower are very very rare things here...

    Of course, the fact that we have to pump that water by hand and heat it on the stove to use it, does tend to affect this some...

    Washing and being clean, does not mean taking either a bath or a shower... and not taking baths or showers does not mean you lack hygiene...

    Exactally.
    Question was how many showers do you take. I think people are confusing that with being clean.

    Taking two showers a day, everyday is just going to dry people out.

    I can go a week without a shower and not even come close to smelling bad.

    Not to mention that it wastes a huge amount of water and energy, both the energy to pump the water through the system as well as heating the water up.

    In a very short while though, (when it is warmer), we will start to have showers often, using an outdoor shower with water that is hand pumped into a solar batch heater... at least until winter comes back again....

    I dont think one needs to shower more than once a week. I shower everyday during allergy season ... hayfever.... For the rest of the year sometimes I don't shower at all during a week.... at the most I'll shower three times.

    I have to shower at least once a day. I only skip a day when I'm feeling sick or weak and I don't think I can stand up for that long in water without killing myself by accident. I know it's not always necessary to shower every single day but I'm get self-conscious really easily if I'm not absolutely positive that I smell flawless. And once I start feeling uncomfortable in my skin around people, my whole day is ruined. >_<

    I usually shower 3 or 4 times a week, depending on how hot it is. If its above 85ish I must take a cold shower once a day, I have no tolerance for hot weather.

    It depends on where you go, your climate, what you do and perhaps your health too as to how often you should bathe. I shower twice a day usually, sometimes just the once. If I've been at work or out and about I feel really dirty. I enjoy fresh clean clothes too but I could never put them on without washing completely first. I also wouldn't like to get into bed without washing. London underground makes me feel like I need to submerse myself in bleach just to feel clean again. However obsessive I am about washing, I wouldn't smell bad if I only showered once a fortnight. I'm not into natural BO either- I smell pretty sweet all the time.
