    I suppose I'm a bit obsessive: I shower *at least* twice per day, sometimes more. For one thing, I cannot stand the very thought of being less than perfectly soapy clean, and for another thing, I really *enjoy* taking showers - it just feels nice.

    And yes, I know it's bad for my skin - I get dried out, so I have to apply lotion. As for my hair, I don't wash that every day... usually every 2 to 3 days.

    i can go a while without showering... i guess thats how i got my dirty hippy stigma. at school me and my friend brendan would see who could go the longest without showering. he won with a week and 2 days... im also a live-in nanny this summer so i am always working working working and being with kids and i dont leave them alone unsupervised at all during the day so i cant shower during the day unless i wake up really early or shower after they go to sleep... but i like going out after they are sleeping and i like to sleep in...
    so whenever an oppertunity arises, like on a day off... i'll shower. and its not like im disgusting... i put enough patchouli on me and i keep my hair up alot.
    whatever, peace

    Every day, I also wash my hair every 2 days any more than that dries it out.

    bathe: every day, at least once, normally twice. i also shave my legs every day, because stubble drives me nuts. i wash my face twice a day. i wash my hair about every other day, now that i'm not using a lot of products in it.

    i'm sort of a clean freak. i gross myself out if i don't get a bath every day.

    depends, whenever its warm/hot part of the year its at least once a day, i do alot of work, i tear apart vehicles, i work on buildings and houses i do alot, so i gewt sweated up quick and covered in dirt, grease, insulation, all kinds, then i gotta do yard/lot maintainence and get covered in grass and junk too, its never ending work and chores evert day

    but in winter time and fall and such when its too cold to do anything and when you literally will freeze if you do take a shower then well......


    good luck

    Just about everyday. Occasionally I'll skip a day, but try to avoid it as I don't like feeling 'grubby'-which can really becomes an issue in the summer.

    I take what my dad used to call a "sailor shower" (don't know where he got the term) once a day. That is, I get wet, turn the water off, lather up, turn the water back on to get the soap off and get my hair wet, turn the water back off to put shampoo in my hair if I am washing it (every other day), turn the water back on to rinse shampoo out and put conditioner in, then rinse again. Sounds like a lot of turning water on and off, but it saves a considerable amount of water. My dad was quite a water conservationist, even before folks were talking about the need to conserve resources....good for him!

    i shower once in the morning...including hair washing, shaving, etc.

    then in the evening i hop in the shower for about 5 minutes...just to clean up. Then I take a nice long bath right after my shower...
