TIME: "You Asked: How Often Should I Shower?"
- Thread starter Rvaan

I definitely over-bathe in the summer just as a function of trying to keep cool. Water in the city is free, but keeping the AC on all day is not.
I take a cold shower once or twice a day. Only use soap once though.
I could go every other day if I didn't go to the gym or sweat so much outside.

I never thought you needed to shower daily to be healthy. Like, you're not going to get sick from skipping a shower. Hell, I'd imagine you only really need to bathe weekly or so for that.
But daily bathing isn't a matter of personal health, it's a matter of the health of society. We all shower extra so that our cities won't smell like shit, and will be pleasant to live in. That's the deal you have to take to be a civilized person in good standing.

So people would only wash their ass and balls once or twice a week?
I'd rather not live in a world of duck butter, thank you very much.

I'm not even asking that others shower every day. But if you intend to leave the house and enter the public space, please take a fucking shower before doing so.
no respected scientist or doctor will tell you that showering more often is better for your body.
My cousin who worked in a restaurant kitchen had her hands so badly damaged from cleaners etc that the dermatologists of the university hospital forbid her to wash hands for weeks. not even water btw.
no lotion or creme can replace the natural protective film on your skin
I shower twice daily. The morning shower 'wakes' me up ... and the final one prepares me for bed.
This article says I'm seriously over doing it but I can't imagine not having these showers :S

I had a phase younger where I would only shower lik twice a week and I can guarantee you, you smell like shit
I had some people telling me comments about it too.. man shit was embarassing. Now I shower almost everyday, sometimes once every 2 days when all I did was basically staying at home doing nothing

pardon my french, but **** off doctor. Go use the subway and come back with that stupid reply.
wake up,
drink coffee,
poop,
shower (always after poop)
why do people eat breakfast after taking a shower? what if your breakfast and coffee triggers your poop?
don't you want to shower AFTER your poop, not before?

Perfect! If the recommended showers per week are 1-2, that means I can push it to about 1 every 2 weeks! Experts are notoriously conservative about these things.
Don't hate me for being natural. It's your problem for caring that I smell like an open sewer.

My poops are pretty regular. I poop when I get up, I poop around 3 pm, and I poop before going to bed. I tend to eat the same thing for breakfast every day, it doesn't really mess my stomach up.
Not everyone spends 3 hours in the morning waiting for a self-induced bowel movement
When does it change from being late to just being the time you show up
Exactly my thought reading the article.
I still can't farhom the fact that most people don't wash the shit off their asses. Like dang if you got shit on your foot or elbow would you just wipe it down?
I can't imagine not showering every single day, especially after working out. Showering helps to wake me up, and I also feel as though I stay cooler on warm days if I've showered early in the day.
The vast majority of people are not running or going to the gym. Days spent waking up in air conditioning or a cold climate house, then an air conditioned car, then sitting in an air conditioned cubicle, then the car, then back to the house. If that's your daily life and you still need to take 3 showers a day, then most doctors and scientists would think there is another issue with your health.
I worked at a lunch cafe for about 2 years and my hands hated me for it. My hands got so dry because they were wet so often. It became one of the main reasons to why I started searching for a new job.
Took about 2 months before my hands were back to normal where they didn't itch and I could stop using lotion on them.
Wow, with all that extra shower credit you've built up, you could stop showering altogether for probably half a year!
Same here man, I take one wipe charlies with me when traveling.
I shower twice a day and use a 20% pine tar soap. I feel amazingly clean and smell great afterwards.
One Wipe Charlie sounds like the name of an outlaw who is infamous for not wiping enough.Same here man, I take one wipe charlies with me when traveling.
