How many showers do you take (on average) in 7 days time?

Question

I take about 5. The other day someone told me I was gross for not showering every single day. Sometimes on my day off, or if I slept in and am in a rush to get ready for work, I'll skip it. I always put on fresh clothes and reapply the Deo. I don't see what the big deal is.

I think American's are almost to the tipping point of hypo-hygiene. It's getting old. (but not stale :)

Answer 1

1 shower. That's right. ONE.

And no, I don't smell or stink. No one has ever told me I have a BO problem. I have many friends, and I often end up being close to people at work and school. No one ever said anything to me.

I am just a clean person. I don't have to shower so often. Some people sweat like pigs, especially when they do a lot of physical activity or have a health issue, but I don't have either of these problems.

Why take a shower when you are not dirty? Because everyone says you should?

Answer 2

7.  sometimes more.

I take martial arts, and after an hour on the mat, I'm dripping and badly in need of a shower.

Answer 3

6

Answer 4

7

Answer 5

9 or so during the summer... cause i like cold ones to cool me off in the evening every once in a while.

I'd say 5 is fine... as long as you don't stink up the office. No less than that, though.

Answer 6

Usually 10-12

I shower in the AM before work, then again after working out at the gym, which I do 4-5 x a week.

Answer 7

6 - 7.  

Occasionally, I'll stay home on a Saturday or Sunday and don't go out all day, then I might not shower.  But I won't leave the house without a shower first.

Answer 8

I would take one everyday. The only time I wouldn't is if I am sure I am going to stay home.

Answer 9

i like take 14 showers a week umm like one in the morning and the night

Answer 10

In 7 days, I take about 14 showers, on average. Sometimes more. I find it so relaxing and therapeutic :)

Answer 11

6

5 is pushing it but still aceeptable.

you dry out your skin if you shower everyday and also its not good to wash your hair every day.

Answer 12

Probably 5 as well

Answer 13

Usually once every day. 7 times.

Answer 14

about 5

Answer 15

I take about 2 a day so I guess 14 in a week. I don't like going to bed dirty. If I stay home all day then I will most likely not take a shower until I'm ready for bed.

Answer 16

About 14 showers a week.  One in the morning and one at night.  Showering is not just about what you smell like it is about good hygiene.  Humans shed skin and on top of that our bodies produce natural oil.  We need to shower to keep our skin clean and of course to keep it from smelling.  Remember whatever you do not wash off in the shower is going to end up on your couch, clothes and sheets and then they will not be clean either.  Some of this is inevitable however if we shower regularly then it cuts down on how much skin and oils we leave around our house.  

Some people cannot shower as much as others because their skin dries out easily.  Adjusting the water temperature so that it is not too hot can help with this.   Five times a week is probably OK but anything less would not be sufficient.. that is if you want your skin to be clean and your house as well.  Sometimes people forget that they cannot always smell themselves so even if you do not think that you smell it does not mean that you don't.  Taking regular showers is not only important for yourself but is considerate for those around you as well.
