    Just curious do u think u have good or bad higiene?
    how many shows/bath a week?
    brushing?




    I think mine is fine...i like to take showers and baths..but if i miss a few days im not freaking out..
    as for brushing my teeth..once a day when i wake up..but i cant remember the last time i brushed at night!
    hmm and clothes can be worn over and over as long as they dont smell..thats how i see it!
    and i never brush my hair but it doesnt look like i dont..well im starting dreads(clean ones :)

    bad. i haven't washed my hair in a couple weeks. i get a QUICK shower (i find people who are in there for 30 minutes or more, wasting water, ridiculous) every other day, though. i don't care if clothes are clean or dirty; like you said, so long as they don't smell.. i don't brush my teeth as much as i should, but i have my reasons for that. but yeah, my hygiene isn't too great. =|

    lmfao. i guess i fit the dirty hippie stereotype.. but i don't care..

    Tell ya what if im in my house then I will have a shower every few days and shave my pits, i cant go to sleep at night unless i have brushed my teeth, i have dreads so dont really wash them huge amounts proberly a few times a week though

    BUT however if im on the road or in a truck/caravan/tent then its different, i still brush my teeth and have a shower sooooo rarely.

    I remember early this year while on the road with a mate, i had a bath (at the local swimming pool) and i came out and he was totally shocked it was me!! Kinda like I looked happier etc

    I shower about twice a week and wash my hair while I'm in there
    My oral hygiene is pretty good but my teeth have been screwed up since I was a baby anyway, so I have to take good care of them no matter what
    I don't like showering... it seems like a waste of time to me. :)

    I shower daily. 2 mins tops since I don't have to deal with hair. Brush twice a day but quite often it's only once. Usually wash my face before bed - especially if I've been working. My skin is unforgiving otherwise. Scalp/hair gets a going over about every 4-5 days.

    Camping is just a whole different ballgame.

    how do you hide money from a hippie? Put it under the soap!! haha, I shower everyday but i dont wash my hair to often, never comb. I brush my teeth at least once a day when i wake up and sometimes before bed, changing clothes only happens when they start to smell, even then if your outside doing a dirty job you may just skip the whole higiene thing all together

    man, ever since my boyfriend and i have been living together, we've had stupid shower problems.

    like our last apartment (feb '06 to feb '07), i... um... poured popcorn kernels down the tub drain (it was an accident!!! i'm sorry!!!!) and effectively stopped up our tub (and caused our kitchen sink water to drain into our plugged tub)... i did this in may '06 and we could never get it unclogged... no nice showers. we would have to bail out the tub into the toilet to take showers... if we left water standing for more than a day, it would turn black. so yeah.... gross.

    and now in this apartment, we've gone without electric for several months (dark showers are kind of fun) and after we got that turned back on, they shut off our gas. it's been about.... 3 months? (damn) since we've had hot water. lots of showers at our friends' houses. lots of cold splashing.

    gas is getting turned back on next week. i'm going to take the longest bath ever, with books and snacks. and bailey's.

    Mines okay…I shower every working day for class and work, but with weekends (depends on what’s going on) I just can’t be bothered.

    So here's my opinion.


    Some of u know that i'm a teacher.... the thing is.. i'm teaching higiene... the first thing i would say to my students: DEFINE IT!!!

    Higiene has much more things included than only washing and brushing...anyway..

    Most of the people do not now that the best thing u can do for ur hair is to not wash it a whole week...let it just get greasy :) .

    The other thing is: as long as ur not doing hard work which makes u sweat take a shower but only use showergel or soap for hands face armpits genitiles and feet.... the rest of ur body doesn't need it...

    that's what I learned and that't how I handle it


    Ergo: what most people call higienic is too much.. causes allergies, neurodermitis, asthma.. all that stuff...so just: LISTEN TO UR BODY..IT TELLS U WHAT IT NEEDS

    Peace

    Silvia

    I brush my teeth usually once a day, i always postpone it so it's usually right before I leave the house, but I do it thoroughly. Wash my hair once every two, three days, cause it gets greasy if I don't. I don't shower everyday, but there's also days I shower twice.

    I shower daily, brush my teeth three times on most days, and I wipe my own ass.

    after pavels post,,, i feel dirty:)

    Being the gross lil grub that i am , i shower /wash hair once or twice a week depending upon how hot sweaty n nasty i get . I do not use soap on me face and never wash my feet ... something about leaving a piece of me dirty makes me feel good. I brush the fangs on occassion but no toothpaste either, it grosses me out. I do keep my hands clean though n wash them probably 15 times a day :)

    I don't have goood hygine, but it's not terrible either. :D
    I shower maybe 3 times a week, wash my hair once a week. [dreads]
    Only use soap everywhere once a week.
    Other two days I just quickly wash my face and other dirty places.
    I brush my teeth everyday though, I NEED to do that. :D

    Most of the time I'm not fussed.. shower twice a week maybe, hairwash once a week. Unless I get absent-minded and forget (it happens quite regularly). More often than not I'll think "fuck, I smell awful - oh wait, no shower for two weeks that's probably why".

    wow. when I was in school, teachers had to be able to spell.
    genitals
    hygiene/ hygienic


    people's personal ability to go between hair washings differs greatly. I'd not suggest a full week for teens, or people who put any product in their hair.
    For non vegans, a boar bristle brush can hide a lot of "grease."
    Actually, it's sebum and protects hair.

    on the body, short of actually having something that isn't you on your skin, dust, dirt, street pollution, a vigourous scrubbing under water will work wonders. A dab of soap or detergent (which is what a gel is) on the pits and crotch will knock down signal scents.

    Oh, damn, my bad. I thought Hannover meant Pennsylvania, not ...Germany?
    </bitchy>

    I do apologize.

    What do you teach that you have hygiene as part of it?

    Personally, I take regular showers. If I don't my body says "Ick!" when I get into bed. Pay attention to how your skin feels after a shower and you will notice it definitely feels better. Use the right soap though. Something moisturizing that wont dry out your skin. I definitely recommend showering every day though. (Even though I sometimes get too depressed and miss a day or two.) I guess back when my grandparents were young people didn't bathe hardly at all. Progress is good. lol
