How often do you shower?

1 - Shower more.

Once every 4-5 days isn't acceptable if I'm going to be getting a job. Priorities, man, priorities. I'm actually quite a tidy person. Well, sometimes. I can tolerate a decent amount of mess before I eventually crack and clean the hell up. I'm wanting to scrub up with dying my hair and trimming around the edges as well.

This is pretty gross, but it makes me wonder about the hygene habits of the rest of GFF.

Are you all lix level disgusting, or are you all (somewhat) normal people who cleanse themselves and take care of their bodies on a more regular basis?

SO POLL OPTIONS GO!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Once every 4 - 5 days? I would go insane after one day of no showering.

I shower atleast twice a day. Sometimes I shower more than that. Depends on how active I am. You wouldn't believe it from the way I keep my place dirty but I'm obsessed with keeping my body clean. If I feel dirty in the least I'm going to take a shower..

It depends on how hot it is outside. If it's hot and sweaty I might shower two or three times in a single day. If it's freezing cold and I'm not sweating, then once a day. If it's cold and I don't work up a sweat that day, I may skip showering entirely - maybe.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Usually once a day, although I'll usually go one day every week without showering. And I hate myself for it.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I try to shower everyday (happy 16:20 FTW), but more often then not I shower every 2-3 days.

That being said - I'll always shower after I get home if I've been sweating alot, even if it would be my second shower of the day...

I was speaking idiomatically.

Ever since I made that journal entry I've been showering daily, or once every two days which seems perfectly fine.

I can't understand people who shower more than once a day. It's obsessive and unnecessary on so many levels.

Edit: Bathing and showering are two different things, son. Our house doesn't have a bath and we moved here in '94. So I haven't had an actual bath in roughly just under 12 years.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I try to shower once a day but it's not a big disaster if it's only twice a day. Every Sunday, I additionally take a hot bath which is quite relaxing and I like it very much.

FELIPE NO

I take one shower each day in the morning. I do, however, wash my face often during the day because I have oily skin.

I used to shower twice a day back when I used to play a lot of basketball during the summer. I'd get real sweaty and end up changing two shirts a day.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I shower every morning, though I also will occasionally miss a day (typically due to sleeping in or a late paper the night before and planned sleeping in). My hair needs it daily, usually, and I just generally don't like the feel of going unshowered for more than a day.

I did twice a day when I ran cross country in high school. Sleeping with dried sweat is not fun. Heck, walking around with dried sweat isn't the greatest, either.

EDIT: It occurs to me, Mr. Prime, that a shower for you would require basically a car wash, and I don't wash my car more than once a quarter, or maybe once a month. Every day seems excessive to me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I usually shower once per day in the morning. There are exceptions that make me shower more than once a day like seriously working out or when it's excessively hot outside, but not too often.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Once a day in the morning or whenever I wake up. Sometimes twice a day; when I wake up and before I go to sleep.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I shower once a day, but the time of day changes. If I'm not in school, I shower in the morning. If I am in school, I shower in the afternoon/night because I can't wake up early enough to shower before class. I hate when I miss a day because my hair feels nasty, but every now and then I will.

I always shower at least once a day in the morning, but often enough I'll shower in the evening too since I find it relaxing. If my allergies are really bad or if I'm super stressed, I might even do it three times, and a couple of times I've done it four times! My hair is like a rat's nest if I don't wash and dry it every day.

When my family lived in Cuba, it was the custom to shower before every meal and before going out in public or meeting people. If visitors came and you hadn't showered recently, you'd excuse yourself and go take a quick one while they sat in the living room.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Once a day, but when I don't have to go to class that day, I will shower at night. People find this weird because everyone seems to shower when they get up in the morning. I, however, just can't go to bed without showering because I feel like I'm sleeping in a whole day's worth of dirt. Basically I shower at night because I want to be clean in my bed while I sleep so when I wake up, I'm still clean and don't need a shower.

When I have to go to class though or if I have to do something that day, I will take a shower in the morning and then take a shower before going to bed.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Unless I'm on some kind of camping trip, I can't stand the thought of not showering every day. My hair gets greasy fast as well, and I just don't feel right if I don't.

I also shower at night. It may seem weird, but i don't like the thought of sleeping in my own filth and sweat. It's just getting my bed all gross.

How ya doing, buddy?

At least once a day for me, mainly because my hair produces enough oil to keep a menorah lit for eight days. Daily.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I shower once a day however if it's Sunday and I'm doing absolutely nothing, by which I mean I'm not going anywhere, then I'll opt not to shower. Just because it's Sunday and it's lazy time. Monday I'm back into routine.

Once a day right before work. Usually twice if it was a stressful day/hanging out with friends.

My shower schedule, since the semester ended, has been thrown out of whack because I don't have time to take on in the morning on weekdays. It goes from morning showers to night showers... It's crazy. I'm awaiting for the semester to start again so I can start my morning shower schedule. I shower in the morning- bathe- then shower at night and wash my hair. I can't wash my hair everyday. 1- I've had lice... lice live in clean hair. Not to mention I'm blonde so even more at risk for lice. And I work at a daycare/school. Lice is high risk for me. So I wash my hair every other day some times 2 days. I keep spray conditioner in it so it stays smelling good and smooth.

That was actual advice from the lady who cuts my hair about washing it every other day. I was telling her about the lice checks constantly going on because people having lice and how it scares me to death so she told me to do that. But I like showering every day. If I had a bigger bath tub with jets, I'd do a weekly relaxing bath. But I don't

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I shower at night during normal school days, and twice a day once the summer season comes. If I'm on vacation or spend a few weeks at my parents, I usually shower once in the morning, and again before going to bed since they usually make lots of plans to spend a full day out of town or to visit relatives, and I'm out all day.

a good old fashioned once a day, but its not like i spend an hour in the shower, its only a few minutes.

I was speaking idiomatically.

During breaks, it's probably every other day, usually because I'm too lazy to jump into the shower. During school, it's usually the night before since I never seem get up with enough time to shower before school. <_<

How ya doing, buddy?

Everyday, but sometimes when we're out at sea due to various conditions I've had to go several days without showering. It's not like I have anyone to impress, but it does become a comfort issue, sometimes.

To elaborate on that: I live in a berthing with like 70 other dudes, we're all dirty and smelly from working a 24-hour-7-day-a-week schedule. We shower when there's water, but time can also be a factor. If I have to choose between showering and eating or showering and sleeping, I'm going to go with eating or sleeping.

When I'm not at sea, though, everyday, without fail.

FELIPE NO

At least once when I wake up. Pretty much once a day
Otherwises in college its like 2 or 3 a day; gotta enjoy the free gym.

Do you wear a shower cap in order to keep your hair dry? Because I like how my hair is after I wake up, I really don't have to do much with it and it's fairly long.
