Not Showering

I bathe/shower once or twice a week...usually when I FEEL dirty...on a normal day, I don't really sweat or do anything to get myself dirty. I only wash my hair once a week or three times a month or so...cuz of the dreadies.

I agree headymoe, people who shower two or three times a day are ridiculous. WHY in the world would you need to??? I just don't understand it. It IS a waste of water...think of all those kids in other countries who have problably never had a real shower...they survive, don't they?

 

I normally shower at least once a day- but really I only shower when I feel dirty (which is usually about once a day). The only time I don't shower daily is when I'm doing homework from when I get home til midnight or later and by then it's too late (because my shower backs up to my parent's room and they go to bed early). I can't sleep well unless I shower before bed.

The only time I've showered more than once a day was when I was in band camp. I'd take a quick shower (more of a rinse) after lunch and after dinner, and then a full on shower when we were done with our evening practices. Not only was that the only alone time I had, but I was also covered in sweat and bug spray and it felt so discusing that I would jump in for a cold 2 minute shower to get all the grime off of me.

 

I shower everyday and wash my long ass hair everyday. It's really curly, and if I didn't wash it and comb it in the shower, it would get ugly natural type dreadies... it's in a french braid right now, how pimp is that?

 

sometimes when i don't shower i Get real Greasy... lol and also when i shower tooo much.. once a couple days is good.

 

Showering? What's this "showering" I hear of? lol

Seriousely though, showering is just a way to live up to the standards of society because most people expect you to shower. That being said, showering should only be done if it is neccessary (water is a preciouse resource) and only in your own time and at your own leasure, don't let anyone tell you what to do.

 

i shower every day but the thing is i have really bad BO, i smell like an old person. i don't wash my hair every day but sometimes i will be standing there and have nothing to do. but i still will have to serosly think about not showring. but i will need some convincing if someone is willing to try to convince the unconviced.

 

So what's the longest you have gone without showering? How did it feel?

Keep em dirty

Mo

 

I shower between 1-3 times a week, but mostly because my scalp/hair gets oily and it's just easier to wash my hair in the shower. I do agree that showering is boring and ideally would like to do it a lot less.

 

That's really hot.

 

i hardly shower, and eat atleast a clove of garlic a day (keeps the bugs away)

so i know i smell but i smell with all my friends so i guess its ok lol

 

I have to shower daily or I feel nasty.. If I'm out where I can't get to a shower, say camping or such, I will wait until I get home..

 

Actually, the idea of personal hygiene is to minimize disease. Your body is the perfect breeding ground for all kinds of pests and disease if you don't stay sort of clean. Water is always recycled too, it isn't oil. We're not gonna run out of it lol...

 

I shower every 3 days because I can't stand myself any longer than that.

 

i agree, showers are boring.
hi tech mo!

 

i definately agree, showers are pointless

 

I havent showered in over two weeks now! I love the hippy funk. Like Keller said you can smell it from a block away, cause that shit is funky! I did how ever go skinny dipping in the ocean a few time the last couple of weeks. I kinda guess thats like taken a bath with out soap!

 

Some people (like me) need to shower more than once in a day. I'm outside most of the time, and I tend to work pretty hard taking care of my place and at my job. I don't wear deodorant (talk about some nasty stuff, all clogging up your pores and staining your clothes) unless I'm dressing for a wedding or a funeral. So I shower every day, so I'm NOT annoying to people who have to smell me. If you want to save water, try a Navy shower. Cut on the water long enough to wet your body and hair. Cut it off while you lather up. Then cut it on long enough to rinse off. You can cut down on your water consumption by more than half that way. And I agree with the poster who said your body is a breeding ground for bacteria. Bathing is healthy.

 

ME TOO!

 

well i shower when i want to or i know im going out w/ some friends. My hair gets greasy within like 3 days so i usually take a shower every 3 days, but i just put dreads in so i will be more like once a week type thing. But i wash my face every day. I agree that taking a shower more than once a day is a waste of water, unless you only take like 3-5 min. showers. More than 15 min showers are also a big waste of water. Try to cut the time down. theres only so much fresh water in the world. SAVE IT FOR SOMETHING THAT MATTERS.
Peace

 

I would like to do without showering but I have run into problems when I try to avoid it.

1 The biggest reason is that I have long dark which becomes noticibly oily every time I went a few days without a shower people ,especially my parents, would complain.

2 I heard showering keeps your hair healthy and prevents it from falling out. I like my hair.

3 Eventually I start to smell and people complain.

I aint saying I dont shower and I cant say I shower every day.
