Living in AZ, it is pretty much an everyday necessity or you are going to smell!

I prefer a luvlee hot bath unless its summertime.

If people are so clean then why do they spread covid and the flu...and other diseases? Because they are dirty pigs. It doesn't matter how much they shower. Covid is spread by the hands...nose...mouth...etc.Edited 24-Aug-21 00:07am

Look at how quickly people got ill in historical times when they didn’t bathe or shower. I think that answers it.

Guess a lot of this debate also cycles around how much water is available to you. When you have to choose between drinking and showering then you will shower less so you can drink for a lot more time.

I shower most days but a lot depends on the day if it’s hot a cold shower is refreshing

im becoming increasingly aware that actors are a special type of moron

I love to have a shower in the morning before I go to work. It refreshes me even when the weather is cold. You feel so much better.

To shower - there is no question. Though since COVID my routine has been thrown out. I don't feel ready for the day unless I have showered, and always feel better when I do.

I have shower every day.

2 a day

A few fake names on here...Never seen them before. Hmmm.

everyday except in covid lockdown and every 2 days

Funny how some say they shower every day... sometimes twice...yet most of them are oldies who don't work. I don't know why they would get so smelly? Sitting on their bums mostly all day. I think some of you are full off sht. Lol.

Every day. Usually at night, but occasionally in the morning as well.

As Caro said...she needs to shower every day. Not all of us are that smelly. Hahaha Maybe Caro just needs a deodorant. Edited 23-Aug-21 19:16pm

I think everyone should shower at least once a day and wash all parts of their body with soap.

Shower wakes me up every morning

They also say that people who work in offices often have dirty computers. They did some research overseas. Worse than some toilets they said. They even found traces of feaces germs... on some computers. Dirty bastard's.Edited 23-Aug-21 16:53pm

People should always wash hands after toilet visits. Prepare food. Eating with hands. Wipe nose. Touching surfaces outside your home. Atms, doors, other people. It's so disgusting to see others not do this much.

Summer every day, winter every 2nd day unless i know I am dirty for some reason.

Hollywood types don't shower every day, not surprising cos they apparently don't believe in being vaccinated against covid either.

Those advocating shower's every day should remember one day we might get severe water restrictions. What would you do then aye? We take water too much for granted.

I can't go without a shower; good for my skin, circulation and is invigorating. Don't use soap though as too drying. Use MooGoo which is fabulous!

Once a week when I wash my hair. I hate showering. It’s boring, time consuming, and the chemical crap that is in all those products that people use. I do the old “pommie wash” in between , like Brad. Love the occasional bath. Summer time I’m in and out of the pool or beach, or river, so need even less water wasting showers.

Shower every day and in summer morning and night, that's the way everyone should be

Shower every night without fail

That is disgusting no other way to explain it

faces have to be washed so why not just step in the shower.

When we caravanned around Australia we still showered daily. We do at night to wash away the day and so you are nice and clean to get into bed. Even in the draught we still managed a shower every day.

Shower

I shower daily sometimes twice especially in winter my house is cold & my work is labour intensive, so I need to shower afterwards. It not only refreshes my body but also my mind

Every day but use body wash never soap

Shower daily at least .

shower everyday

shower daily

Shower everyday

I shower daily, I wash my hair alternate days. When I worked in Aged Care we showered clients minimum of 3 days per week, 7 days if there were continence issues. (Community care, clients were still in their own homes)

I shower every night,couldn't sleep otherwise

I love the saying 'Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Good hygiene is after all part of good health and wellbeing. Viruses and germs are of course major issues in this day and age. Frequent showering (about 4 minutes), just once each day, to keep viruses at bay, I say! As well as this, I'm into bathing once a week. An apple a day keeps the Doctor away? Then, showering each day must be, likes apples, the healthier way! :-)Edited 23-Aug-21 13:11pm

Same when no time but important to take a whole body shower.

It depends on many different variables: season, occupation, activity level, age, health, skin type etc. A young person who is active and works close to others would shower/bathe more than an older, non working person who has mobility and health issues. When I was younger and worked fulltime as a nurse it was daily before work, (twice in summer as I hate going to bed sticky) now as a retiree living alone with mobility and health problems I'm happy if I can manage once a week.

Well at the moment I can't actually use my shower lol because the day after we were put in to a snap lockdown was the day my plumber was supposed to be fixing the shower and since we are still in level 4 I have not had my plumbing fixed but it's not all bad I can still take a bath because it's separate from the shower.Edited 23-Aug-21 11:45am

Every second day; one day with soap, the other with body gel; hair gets washed every 5-6 days.

I've heard that if you shower every day yo tend to wash all the oil from you skin, leaving you with dry skin. Sounds genuine.

Maybe we should all waste as much water as possible on our vanity...and use lots and lots of soap too...to pollute the water we are using...and when we wash out all the natural oils and defenses from our skin...we still have a multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry to supply us with grease and chemicals to replace it with...and so there is something else to wash off tomorrow..... Edited 23-Aug-21 11:31am

A quick shower every day but I never use soap, it leaves a scum that’s hard to get off. I use a gel and never have that spotty soap scum problem

I shower everyday. Can’t afford to buy deodorant every week. Have you ever been in hospital and had a possible wash. They start at the top and go as far as possible. From toes up and far as possible. Possible doesn’t get washed unless you do it yourself.

I guess they wear a lot of perfumed products.

Only in America!! What a load of bollocks!! Anything to get attention!!

I shower every day with olive oil soap

I always have a shower at night just before I go to bed, I found out just recently my Aunty does the same, nothing worse than feeling sticky and smelling sweaty in bed. Always use a nice body wash.

I have a bath 2 or 3 times a week, cold water except in winter...

I have a shower everyday otherwise pewwwww you woul'd smell.

I shower every day but keep the use of detergents to a minimum to reduce pollution in our water ways/supply. EG haven't used shampoo for over 20 years

What you spend on a warm shower or bath water to warm up you achy/breaky bones in winter and a cool shower in summer more than compesates what you might spend on doctor's visits or using the air condioner or other sucking the air out of the room cooler/warmers. I would follow any trendy actors when it regards health and hygiene practices ... but thanks for the warming shall apply the 1.5 metre rule even when we've shaken off the current pandemic, should one of the approach me thinking I want to hug and kiss them!!!

I find once a week is adequate...otherwise a "pommy bath" every other day!

I shower with dove soap every 2nd or 3rd day. I wash my hair once a week. All my secrets are out. Come summer it will be every day or twice a day. In certain parts of Africa the women are not allowed to wash at all but put red sand over themselves. I am sure some of the poorer Countries may wash weekly or rarely. So I consider myself lucky but also want to conserve water for the sake of the environment.

Personal cleanliness is important to me so shower at least once a day.

I shower when I need it but too much soap use is bad for the skin

Everyday always

EVERYDAY I COULD NOT GO WITH OUT MY SHOWER PUT I ONLY WASH MY HAIR ON A SUNDAY

shower or bath daily

not necessary every day but def a full body shower not just parts and depends on the jobs youve been doing

They reckon swear don't give you body odour (BO) it's the germs on the body I say Bath

Thank goodness for social distancing ! Nothing is more disgusting to have to work or be close to someone who clearly does not shower. Yuk

They say that cleanliness is next to godliness I am not sure if it’s true because I don’t go to churches everyone to their own I suppose

Daily.Completely. Or yuck.

Ooh if you ever have to think about it, shower for sure. Only washing parts etc is not so great but if you're having a proper shower every second day then I guess it's ok. When I was working I would need a shower because I would be on my feet all day and get so sweaty plus be covered in makeup and sunscreen. You just felt a bit horrid at the end of the day so a shower would really freshen you up. If you get to any thing past 3 days with out a shower that's just disgusting.

In the olden days... people generally bathed less. Maybe 1--3 times a week. In modern times it's become normal to do it every day, or.. nearly every day. We have a higher rate of allergies in western countries. I'm also a victim of this.

I agree you do not need a shower every day. I have extremely dry skin and hair and can only wash my hair once a week.

Showering is up to the individual but it is lovely to have short showers daily to make yourself feel clean

Maybe the Hollywood actors are onto something. Maybe we are too clean and that's not helping us. Maybe we need some research into this

Why wouldn't you shower everyday, we shed that many skin cells.

In the cold weather I don't shower as much as in warmer weather and if I leave it too long my back will start to itch so that is telling me something. There is no doubt however that I feel refreshed when I do take the plunge.

Hands are essential. Most people wash regularly... but some of them have germie hands. Some parents are not doing a good job.. teaching their kids. Hotels, Daycare centres are not that clean. Cruise ships, Gyms, Airplanes, Restaurants, schools, offices, . Germs every where. Animal germs.

i always smell fresh, but i suffer from depression and extreme hip/leg pain. I am disabled and stay at home, I can't bathe as much as i'd like

Yuck!

People that have poor hand hygiene make me sick. They spread germs around. Having a shower every day is not always needed. Unless you are particularly smelly. Hand washing is a ----absolutely important. They did studies on this. They found some people don't regularly wash their hands. Men being the -- worse. Young kids. I'm OCD.... When it comes to hands. That is one way to spread Covid too. Wash your hands FFS!Edited 23-Aug-21 06:17am

I take a shower - every morning (after I finish my aerobic routine or anabolic routine) - great start to the day (for me). I take a bubble bath - every night (after I finish my aerobic routine or anabolic routine) - makes it easier to fall asleep (for me)!

Why would anyone take notice of what an ignorant Hollywood actor has to say?? Shower every day you fools.

I prefer a bath and hubby a shower. Everyday we have a good wash from top to bottom (excuse the pun) and every two days I have a bath. The reason for this is that we are on tank water and do not have access to town water. Would love to have a bath every day, but is not practical, re the tanks we have. Also those people that use perfumes or deodorants to cover their smell, have a thought for others. I am highly allergic to most perfumes and also to the smell of a lot of spray deodorants. If I have to go into a shop that has a perfume section, I have to hold my breath and RUN like a crazy woman to get away from it. It causes me to sneeze uncontrollably for about 15 minutes.Edited 23-Aug-21 05:46am

I only takes bathes which I only take showers if I am washing my hair.

use lemon when you shower, not soap then you only need to shower every 3 days

A while ago, I heard Ellen De Generes state on her Tv show that she NEVER washes the private part between her legs and never washes her legs or feet.... I recently heard Johnny Depp never showers at all and during the filming of his "Pirate of the Carribean" movies in Australia I heard of numerous actors complaining about how much he stinks and one female actor whom hated having to kiss him during certain scenes of those movies. I've heard of other actors who refuse to work with him....I have heard of many Hollywood actors who are refusing to take showers or baths or to wash every part of their body ........ Does this mean that Hollywood actors are fed up with being crowded bt fans and came up with this idea to REPEL their fansEdited 23-Aug-21 05:29am

Not having a daily shower/wash is fine if you want to stink.

Oh that is so disgusting people not showering. I shower everyday.

Our bodies secret toxins from the inside out and add to that air-conditiong exercise,and sweating throughout the day and night plus certain foods can cause strong body odours so when it,s all accumulated onto the surface of the skin it does need a freshening up unless you want to live on a desert island with noone to offend other than the coconuts and palm trees,just take a shower.

As someone with severe arthritis and constant pain, I CANNOT begin my day without having an epsom salts bath with some painkilling essential orders in it as well. It is something I look forward to every day! I can't begin to understand how someone would actively choose NOT to shower daily if they've been physically active and actually stink! Doesn't make that individual very "appetising" to me. Doesn't Mathew Machonehy, or however his name is spelled, say that he doesn't use deodorant but WILL shower when he "needs to". Shaylene Woodley also states that she has to be "rope" before she'd take a shower. I hope they look after their teeth a bit better than their body parts. I consider my hot bath as a very precious gift that many around the world don't EVER get to do and I'm enormously grateful. I remember Angelina Jolie saying that went she adopted Pax, her middle son, from Thailand, that he was "obsessed" with them never having had one before. Anyway, enough of my waffling. Thanks for reading this!

Imagine how bad it gets in countries like India... where it gets very hot...and they have less access to clean water. Some even deficate out in the open.. No wonder they have so much disease.

Do what you want but just don't lift your arms up on the train carriage, please!

I did read something about 5.. or so years back.. about..the actor... Johnny Depp.... They were saying he smelt...a bit. Apparently he didn't wash regularly. Haha. Maybe they are trying to save water. They might be trying to stop their skin from drying too much. Like a wrinkle old prune... who knows!Edited 23-Aug-21 04:03am

Always as it makes you feel frash

I think you must be very smelly if you need to wash twice every day... If it's summer time it's understandable...as people sweat more. This has been mentioned before on a previous forum...months ago. I think it was daily poll. Showering every day isn't always necessary. I shower most days. ESP if you are not going out any where. Other times I just wash. I don't like to wash my hair every day. Washing too much can dry your hair and skin out. I once read an article...by some man who said bathing everyday is only need for some people.. Those who get dirty on the job alot. It has something to do with immunity. Most people do know when they start to get smelly. It's always nice to be clean. More than a hundred years ago...esp the middle ages... people bathed once a year in the UK. Disgusting! The belief was...and wrong.. that bathing was bad for your health. Yet, in some other countries it was the opposite view. Backward UK. I bet them Hollywood stars don't even wear deodorant. Hmm.Edited 23-Aug-21 01:56am

DEFINITELY THE QUESTION, AND THE ANSWER SHOULD BE "YES'.

I don't know about this one. I guess you must be more up to date than most of us are ... about what goes on in Hollywood . Tbh...it's not even a concern for most of us. We are so far removed from their isolated... Iittle world.. It's not our concern. Most of them are weird anyhow. They, some give their kids weird names. They live in a alternative universal.

I have been hearing and reading about this. It is gross that they do not shower or bathe themselves and their children every day. You could miss 1 day, but it sounds like they miss a whole lotta days! :)

I skip a shower every now and then. Usually if I have a lazy day and not leaving the house.

I shower every morning after I get out of bed. If it is hot or I am going out in the evening I will shower again. Many mask their bad hygiene habits with perfumes and body sprays which also stink.
