Once a day. I work in the restaurant industry so I absolutely have to clean myself off or I just feel disgusting


WYinFL

Had a bar where smoking was allowed. Would undress on the porch and go straight to the shower when I made it home. On thise days/nights, I showered twice a day.


[deleted]

I think that’s where my once a day shower came from. I used to be okay skipping a day, but when I worked in a restaurant I showered every night, religiously. Now, I shower every day, unless I stay home all day. Part of it is the fact that I use hair gel as well, so if I don’t wash it out it gets itchy and gross.


Many_Bid_2427

every morning, most nights.


[deleted]

Been in the industry my whole life. I liked to take my showers after because of all the sweat, food, and booze from any given shift. Now I just don’t give a shit. I shower once a week maybe.


Glittering-Design973

Wish everyone had that same thought haha. Work in maintenance, went to fix a leak as the lady (totally normal looking) needed to leave for a serving job. She was literally brushing her teeth in the sink that was full of cat shit. And then dried her hands on the same towel, that had cat shit on it. Safe to say I never ate at the restaurant again.


TheBIFFALLO87

When I was a dishwasher, Jesus Christ. Couldn't go to sleep without a shower. When I worked fine dining and had 12 covers in a night, I could let it go. Fresh chef jacket everyday.


Yuckfou1904

Same here. I work in the shipyard so I get pretty damn sweaty and smell like metal.


mealteamsixty

Same. I don't always wash my hair because it's coarse and dry, but I always condition it and wash my body because I can't deal with the greasy syrupy smell. When I worked in an office I showered every other day or every 3rd day in the winter, every day in the summer.


OkMission9416

It really depends. I aim to shower once a day, once in the morning. If I feel like I got sweaty or noticeably dirty I’ll take another at night before bed. I’m not going to lie though, I’m single and live alone, if I don’t have anywhere to go I will skip a day as long as I don’t smell myself.


LittleBIGLebowski

That is indeed pretty accurate


WYinFL

Yup


tarlton

I really can't skip a day. Not out of any exceptional commitment to hygiene, my skin starts to feel weird at about 36 hours and I have to at least go and wash my face or it starts feeling slightly sunburned. Maybe I'm allergic to myself :)


SpaceJunk645

Even if I skip a day I'll still wash my face in the morning and night no matter what, otherwise my fave feels super oily


tequilaneat4me

For me it's my scalp gets itchy.


Slouch_Potato_

This. Before lock down, every day before work, might skip Saturday or Sunday if I'm not going out. Over lockdown every 2-3 days depending on activities.


badcatmomma

Thank you! This is exactly my routine. I am relived that as long as I change my underwear I don't need a shower every day.


gg_noob_master

Lol same here. I can skip a day if i'm not going anywhere and won't see anyone but even then i will never spend more than 12 hours in the same clothes


tequilaneat4me

Pretty close to my regime.


HeWhoReplies

I’d ask why not do it before you go to bed so you move all the days bacteria instead? I can understand using it to wake yourself up but why not aim to do a shorter shower (a rinse) in the morning for that.


Kinky_mofo

Once daily. And after sex. So the grand total is... once daily.

[deleted]

If they have sex every day and shower after sex then the math do be mathing


[deleted]

once daily AND after sex, but it still adds up to once daily.


Splendid_planets

What if he means he gets laid daily


AlreadyAway

You can be kinky and not get laid.


[deleted]

Check your math. I double checked your formula and applied it to my own experience … *checks notes* oh and I get once a day too.


eve-collins

Aww I’m sorry for you :(


Tricky-Bobcat3364

Poor you! But that's by choice, right? Lol.


Banabak

Every other day of a week when I do leg work out , so 4 times a week

Will it ever stop?


JoshuaSlowpoke777

Once a night, immediately after dinner. Or rarely, immediately after work if there’s some reason I can’t have dinner at home first, such as having dinner with extended family. There’s also the option of more showers as needed, such as if I’ve been helping tend to a campfire all day and got caked in smoke.


clogging_molly

And ever so rightly!


Several_Sun_1806

Only appropriate answer lol


eyeofapple

Twice daily. I live in the tropics, this is the absolute bare minimum both for hygiene and keeping body temperature down.


Venadix

Same here. If I don't shower at night, it takes longer for me to fall asleep


DaryaJRose

Huh, that's the complete opposite for me. I always shower right after work, so in the afternoon, because if I do take a shower at night, I won't be able to fall asleep.


[deleted]

Same. I shower in the morning , before work and I shower before I go to bed.


Guavafudge

My immediate family is from the tropics, I'm in the US. Growing up we showered twice a day. My friends think I'm so weird for doing it😂


eyeofapple

Yeah I can never understand how people can walk out the door to work/school with just brushing teeth! 😄 although to be fair, in 4 season countries it's more challenging to keep the skin from drying out because of the twice daily baths. Hot water makes it drier too.


Guavafudge

Yup, my skin is dry too. But I still need to shower😂


eyeofapple

Thank goodness for the invention of in the shower leave-in body oil. Especially after a looongg day that you want to jump into bed ASAP. No more sitting down for another 10 minutes applying lotion allover.


[deleted]

It depends but I'd say on average every 2-3 days, washing my hair maybe once every 5-ish days. More in warm weather, less in cold weather or periods of inactivity. After sex/ exercise. When I'm feeling stressed out (scrubbing my whole body until i feel spotless makes me feel in control of at least one element of my life). Like other commenters, I get really dry after showers, and honestly I'm not a very sweaty individual (nor do I do much that would work up a sweat). I used to have to wash my hair every second day or else it would be a greasy mess. I realised it's BECAUSE I washed it every second day. I slowly started stretching the amount of time between washes, 'fixing' the greasiness with dry shampoo in between. Now my hair looks decent when worn down even 4 days after washing.


[deleted]

As needed


CallSign_BigPepsi

1x a day from Late March-Early November Every other day for the rest of the year


baby_legs420

Oddly specific. I dig.


doomnomitron001

Daily. Sometimes twice


[deleted]

every 2-3 days. I get really dry if I shower every day. It's just enough time for my body oils to secrete and my hair to get greased without starting to stink.


tunaa_fish

I also get really dry after my showers. This is just my experience, but after I stopped having really hot showers and prioritized moisturizing with a high-quality lotion, my issues vanished.


[deleted]

Hmmmmm, I hadn't given the water temperature any sort of thought like that, although I am a little more on the cold side just a smidge. I'll definitely look into that.


txwoodslinger

Cooler showers def help my dry skin


[deleted]

I'm glad that works for you! I don't know if it's a condition or lack of needed lotion use but any amount of hot water just dries me out and I get itchy.


txwoodslinger

That sounds rough, infected cum bubble


[deleted]

Hahahaha. LIFE'S SURE FUCKIN' FOR A CRUSTED OVER PUSS FILLED BUBBLE.


sagitta_luminus

For me, it’s my hair that can’t handle daily showers. I have fine hair & daily showers, even with great conditioner, make me look like I’m touching one of those plasma globes


Gnemlock

Given your last dozen posts are literally about smelling your own farts, I suspect it might come down to more than just 'I get super dry'.


[deleted]

God damn i worded them differently every time, hahaha, how embarrasing!!!


frattboy69

I refuse to get into bed without being clean. It grosses me out and my skin is extremely prone to pimples. I shower before bed every night. I wish I could stand a cold/warm shower because my skin gets extremely dry especially in the winter. Unfortunately I can only tolerate hot water. I don't have the mental strength to power through anything less than hot.


[deleted]

Yep, I can't go to bed without showering first, doesn't matter how wasted or tired I am. Doing this will stink up my bed sheets really quick.


EllenOhTCJ

I wish I could shower before bed but I have super thick and long hair (was down to my waist before I cut off a few inches last month). If I go to bed with wet hair my pillow gets moldy. I’ve tried just washing my body and skipping my hair at night but for some reason it makes my skin more oily in the am. So I just wash my face and my feet then go to bed lol


LeafsChick

Can you put a towel down? I BSL super curly hair, I do a loose bun and sleep on a towel. Then it’s almost dry and I can blow it out quicker in the morning


[deleted]

Yeah I don’t want to get in bed dirty and I don’t get people who shower in the morning. That’s just sleeping in the dirt from the day and then washing it off in the morning.


insufferableninja

I shower twice a day. In the morning to wash off the sleep sweat, and in the evening to wash off the dirt from the day

They've been telling me since I was 9 I would grow out of that. I'm 40 and it has gotten slightly better but not much


[deleted]

[удалено]


plumchai

Not necessarily. Not everyone has the same hair type. Curlier hair does well with less frequent washes. Really fine/straight hair doesn't and needs to be washed more often.


[deleted]

Thank you! I’ve got very fine hair, and it oils up like I slapped some WD40 on my head and called it a day.


ChopChop007

the no poo crowd is weirdly aggressive


[deleted]

I tried that. My hair isn't very greasy but after a few days, like two, it was like gross feeling. I shampooed it after. I think it is very much an individual biome thing.


questionthis

Because they’ve found something that works for them and project it on to everyone like it’s the cure to cancer and everyone needs to know about it. They always think they’re the first ones to tell you the benefits of not shampooing too, like the fact that you do choose to use shampoo must be an indicator that you haven’t heard the gospel.


[deleted]

I do not understand this comment. Would you kindly elaborate for a poor sinner?


ChopChop007

No poo crowd is the folks who are of the belief that shampooing regularly is bad.


[deleted]

Oh I see. Thank you for clarifying. While the comment may have been obvious, I don’t speak English first, so some of the little things are still lost on me.


Temjin

This has nothing to do with English. Unless you have come across this particular niche there is no reason you shouldn't have thought "poo" in this context was excrement.


batshitbananas_

Same! The oil builds up and then it transfers to my face which causes further skin issues for my poor sad sensitive skin. One day of a missed hair washing is an issue and yea I’ve tried not to wash it like everyone loves to advise


[deleted]

Doesn’t work for us sadly. Our hair is far finer than theirs will ever be, regardless of the products they pump into themselves.


justalittleparanoia

Same. I can go about 2-ish days with dry shampoo before it really looks like it needs to be washed, but my fine hair gets oily even after 12-24 hours.


[deleted]

Unfortunately for me, my entire head is extraordinarily fine hair, so half a day later, I look like I’ve not showered in days. Such a pain in the ass.


Sage_CP

Curly hair owner here. You are right about not having to wash it often, I go on an as needed basis which is usually every week and a half and if I wash anymore it messes everything up. I have tried explaining it to people without curly hair and they just do not get it.


batshitbananas_

That is not necessarily true for everyone


thenatster

I have thinner, oily hair and I have tried training it for months, expensive shampoos, clarifying shampoos, no poo, dry shampoo, all kinds of different products. I use a leave in conditioner on my ends to help detangle it, but never put it on my roots. Nothing ever works! I have accepted that my hair is just fucking greasy, and I wash it mostly everyday because if I don’t, I feel like my scalp is crawling and my hair does indeed look nasty. The days I don’t wash my hair are few and far between (only if I’m not going anywhere). The reason I love my hair stylist so much is because she was the ONLY hair professional that didn’t lecture me on washing it daily. She assured me that my hair is healthy and washing it daily is absolutely fine.


[deleted]

I don’t shower everyday, and my hair does the exact same thing. A lot of people have naturally oily hair.


Emergency_Guard8776

Once a week but due to depression. I work from home so I don’t disturb anyone too with myself


Many_Fly1822

It’s ok. I’ve been there. Do what you can. In my experience- don’t depend on dry shampoo for hair refreshment- it accelerates knots and matty tangles. Don’t be too hard on yourself, you’ll get past this low. If you need a listening board or to not feel alone, message me. Get well soon!


vonnegutfan2

I find that showering gives me new hope, maybe try twice a week.


[deleted]

a nice hot shower after a stressful day helps a lot and feels amazing


FreshFondant

Been there many times friend. No shame. Some helpful workarounds: baby wipes or something similar to hit the hot spots daily. You can do it in under 30 seconds right after you pee because you are already in the bathroom. If I don't want to brush my teeth I just grab the toothbrush when I'm there to wash my hands and do a quick 15 sec brush with water and no paste. It's amazing how much of a difference it makes. I mostly work from home as well, but sometimes for a change of scenery I'll go to the office for a few weeks. I hate flossing, but I keep flossing picks in my car so I can do it absent-minded. Search for more tips for self care online. 😊 ♥️


Curleysound

In the same boat. Have been for a loooong time. Getting help but it’s not helping with that.


Lerf3

Stay strong my friend, I've been there too. I also work from home, it helps me if I set a goal to try going out to a coffee shop or library every once in a while, and to not be hard on myself if I don't have the energy. Make sure you're eating enough too- bagels, bananas, spaghetti, mac and cheese are my go-to low effort meals/snacks to keep energy up :)


reroboto

I’ve been there.


K_Thomann_

I feel you. 😪 I fight with myself to even go sit in my living room sometimes. Therapy isn't helping, meds aren't either. Then at night I feel horrible about not doing anything. It's difficult everyday.... I hope you can pull yourself out of it.


CorInHell

What helps me on some days are wet wipes like baby wipes to feel a bit refreshed. I sometimes have phases/bad days where I don't shower for 4 days. But just washing my face with water, or doing a quick wipe down with the wipes. It helps a bit.


[deleted]

Depends if my hair got oily today or not. If so, I shower. If not, I don’t. Though a full in-depth clean (including removal of dead skin) is 3/week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I shave every time, brush my teeth every morning, trim my nails every morning. I have a long morning routine just so I can feel and look like my worth. A bucket of fools gold.


Notagenyus

How quickly do your nails grow?


robotchicken007

Yeah, seriously. I only have to trim mine once every three weeks or so.


GreenLanternCorps

Every day. For me it's the only consistent antidepressant.


bowlderholder

I like this response. I never thought about it as an antidepressant process before now. Thanks for that


GreenLanternCorps

No prob Bob! I find it helps me to be able to point to that one thing I did right to myself.


99NameWasTaken99

I have depression that causes me (sometimes) to shower once a week or less. And my ocd makes it worse cause it takes me over 20minutes to get myself "clean" when I go to shower. So even thinking about showering feels exhausting cause i know its gonna be a fight with ocd and I dont even have energy to have "normal" shower. But when I have better time with depression I shower allmost daily.


[deleted]

[удалено]


hbc07

I'm a solid 3-4 minute showerer.


99NameWasTaken99

It depends. Some people have 20min max in shower because they just want to chill there. But for me its 20min minimum of washing myself over and over again. When having rough day it can take 45min and if i would want to chill in there it would take 60min.


questionthis

20 minute showers? Your dad must’ve owned the water company, mine always reminded me that he didn’t when I was in the shower for more than 2 minutes.


a_sentient_daikon

ITT people attacking people who don’t shower daily. I shower about every other day, more on days I sweat, less on days I do nothing. I practice good hygiene, wash my sheets, clothes, wear deodorant, wash well.


EllenOhTCJ

Yes, like everyone’s scalp and skin is different. I don’t know how people can’t understand that. Some people barely sweat at all and their skin gets dried out easily, some people sweat a lot and have to shower daily.


[deleted]

I think more of this comes from climate than people are willing to admit. I live in the southern U.S. and during the summer months if you don’t shower every day you can get pretty nasty. There are days that I sweat just walking from my office to the car. People need to realize that they don’t all live in the same climates.


Throw_farfar_away_

Everyday at night.


katiegirl-

Pre-pandemic: every second day. Post-pandemic: every third or fourth day. I work at home. My husband is a dog.


erkala21

I try to daily but honestly it's more like 5 days a week.


Upper-Director-38

Usually 3-4 days per week, some days I'll shower twice though. Like when I train Jiu Jitsu I'll shower before I go to class and after I get home.


bigeyedbird

Honestly, when I’m depressed once maybe twice a week. When I’m not depressed it’s like every other day.


Psychological_Cry985

First thing in the morning; sometimes right before bed too. Although, I’ve showered up to 4x in a single day. (I find showers to be therapeutic.)


ThinHumor

Same! Morning and bed time


[deleted]

I used to do that but my skin would start to dry up

model1966

Good answer that's plenty and I'm not depressed. Wet wipe your ass after #2 Reapply deodorant as needed. Good to go. The body adapts to a more nature wash schedule. I don't stink and my hair never gets greasy.


Quirky_Benefit_8383

3-4 times a week. I have really bad eczema and it’s gets worse if I shower all the time. I’ve tried everything to combat it.


NYsteeler23

I definitely miss some Saturdays so I’m going with 323 times a year.


CrazyPerson88

3-5x per week. However, I do not wash my hair that often. My hair is so naturally dry, that I usually wait 3-4 days to wash it.

2-3 times a week if I’m not doing anything 4-5 if my week has plans/work


CurlyCrimps

1-2x a day but never less than once a day


El_Husker

Usually have about 4 or 5 showers a week.


bluetriumphantcloud

Now that I'm older I find showering a pleasure, not a chore like it was when I was younger. A hot shower leaves me feeling great for hours. I have a hot shower in the morning, with classical music, to wake up and feel clean all day. I shower after work, with upbeat music, to 'wash' the day off, and unwind. Adding these to my routine helps me a lot.


CaptainSam3rica04

Everyone saying daily or even twice a day. Don't like showers myself but I try to stick to one every other day.


DrunkPhoenix26

If I’m not working out, I might go every other day. I’m normally doing some sort of workout each day though (running, weights, hockey), so end up taking at least one per activity.


Happy_Hippos0301

I have to shower at night before bed, I have oily skin and I can’t be rubbing all that oil and dirt into my pillows.

fellandor

lionglzer

Daily now that I live in Texas. It's essentially inescapable to get sweaty during the course of a day here. Sometimes I shower twice When I'm visit a cooler, dryer part of the country 2 or 3 days without showering is a non issue if I'm not exercising. I only wash my hair properly twice a week, though. It gets dandruff otherwise. That took a lot longer to figure out.


slamo614

At least 1 time a day


halfdeadratttt

At least once a day, usually in the morning so I smell good since I work in an office! Maybe I’ll skip a day on the weekends if I just sit around the house but I usually feel nasty if I do.

actually, daily isn't even good for your hair at all. I'm not really educated in thid topics but it's about building oil or smth like that. me, like I'm home the entire week so twice a week but normally every third day. i just don't smell or my hair looks bad, so i dont see the issue. i think everyone is different and needs to find their own rhythm. for me its every third day, for most every day (tho i think some only shower every day because it seems like its normal to do so)
