Yes, I workout every other day on average. Always shower afterwards.
This 'problem' reeks of first-world, upper-class bias. Of course you don't really, really need to shower daily if you live in a temperate climate and working a white-collar job while commuting with a car or air-conditioned public transportation. Us in tropical countries with massive air pollution or those who do intensive manual labor under the sun cannot afford the 'luxury' of not taking shower daily.
Well just to be clear since grooming may not of been taught, you still wipe after the OWC.
But it makes my baths so much more refreshing at the end of the day. Plus the water changes color as if I used a bath bomb.
Same here man, I take one wipe charlies with me when traveling.
These things are not flushable no matter what they say on them, they can cause huge problems in the sewage systems.
I shower twice a day, first one after gym or waking up second one is a short one like 5 min just to fresh up.
I shower daily, Feels great I'm the morning and for a few hours after. Not sure I could give it up.
There are ways to your bun without showering.

I shower every other day. I've never once had anyone complain about any smell. Change your clothes and use deodorant. People are in general really wasteful in most things, so no surprise that they are in this area too.
Nope, unless I go to the gym. Most weekends if I don't leave the house I have to force myself to shower.
It might not be the most healthy, but as the article states, its too remove smell and odour which is literally why you should do it everyday.
You dont have to overdo it with shower gels and shampoo (damaging hair and all that), but you have to shower once a day in the morning.
I have to shower twice in the day, once in the morning and once after my workout.

which is why we need more bidets, im a Scandinavian I barely have any body hair, I can't imagine not having one and lookin like chewbacca
my cousins hands were not only dry and itchy. They looked like leprosy infected hands that had 2nd degree burns.
The docs tested her skin in the affected area and they described it being like old brittle parchment which cracks into a bloody mess after slightly touching it. She wasn't prescribed any cremes or lotions because at this state they would have caused more harm than good. They skin had to rebuild itself, layer after layer, on it's own over weeks.
Whether or not I'm that much cleaner...it's more about how I feel that makes me have to shower everyday.
Also I don't believe the people who say they don't shower everyday and don't smell. You're probably just used to your own odor.
Unless you're one of those lucky people that don't sweat. :P

As long as people don't have a strong odor that bothers others, I could care less how often they shower. It's highly dependent on many things so it's not very useful to give a universal number for how often you should shower in a week. I'm sure the advice given applies to someone that doesn't really get sweaty or dirty in their daily lives and doesn't live in a constant 30 C climate. Then there's the "natural musk" factor that needs consideration, so even if the rest of your body suffers from dry skin, you'll still have to keep your odor producing glands in check.
I do agree that a lot of people are excessive in their showering and cause more harm than good to their skin. Especially with shampoos. The industry is built on the idea that once you use that stuff it'll disturb your natural oil production and you have to keep using the products daily to reach the same result you'd have if you hadn't used them at all and had a healthy scalp to begin with. Of course not all have that to begin with, and shampoo is a solution if your hair gets dirty, but at the same time it'll disturb the skin all the same. If you can live without it and your smell doesn't bother others, I'd suggest you do it.

My standards for cleanliness are slightly higher than what is medically necessary so Imma stay showering everyday
I shower once a day in winter and sometimes twice a day in hot weather. I sweat like a bastard in warm weather, so I have to shower at least once daily. I never consider it's for removing germs, but more for getting rid of body odour and freshening up. There is no way I'd ever be okay showering just once or twice a week.
I don't, really. I find it boring, and I'd rather spend the time on other things. I still do it daily, to feel fresh and such, but meh.
Your head eventually stops secreting so much grease if you get it used to you showering only twice a week
I once heard if you shampoo and use conditioner every day it can exasperate this issue.
Could be worth trying some dry shampoo see if it helps?
Your missing the point of the article. It's fine if you are showering/bathing to get clean and smell better. It won't increase your chance at getting infectious diseases.
This article is the same thing we've always read, OP.
If you:
- sweat a lot
- do a lot of physical activity
You should shower every day.
If you indeed chill in the A/C and don't work out, then no a daily shower isn't "vital". Some doctors have suggested hopping in the shower and hitting " vital areas", and using soap everywhere else is probably just stripping necessary oil from your body.
