    Every morning and the odd time I might skip it and have it the next day. Just habit really.

    Every day, as I'm not a disgusting filthbag. Anyone who doesn't shower or bathe at least every couple of days is a piece of diseased scum.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,044 ✭✭✭Sqaull20


    Every evening, too tired to shower in the morning..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,577 ✭✭✭StormWarrior


    whenever I soil myself and the people around me start complaining of the stench.:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 441 ✭✭dewsbury


    Every morning but not because I am dirty.

    I shower because it invigorates me!

    Showering for me has much more to do with feeling invigorated and alive than feeling clean. I tend to find that modern society can be overly obsessed with cleanliness.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,095 ✭✭✭✭omb0wyn5ehpij9


    I shower every day, sometimes twice a day depending on what i'm doing....

    Every morning and some evenings.... most actually especially when i go to the gym and in the summer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,220 ✭✭✭✭Loopy


    Once a day.. never miss it..

    Your on a slippery slope there.

    Daily, in the morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    honestly it can be anywhere from 2-5 times a week and generally 3/4 times a week.


  • Posts: 8,016 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Every morning


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 10,446 Mod ✭✭✭✭xzanti


    Shower every day, wash my hair every second day, otherwise it would turn to straw..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,081 ✭✭✭BKtje


    Usually once a day in the morning but if i play sports/go for a run i'l have another. I usually try to shower after i had a sleep as well, especially during the summer, as i feel sticky afterwards no matter how short i slept for.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    Seriously - what sort of lazy ****er doesn't shower every day?

    If I don't get a shower once a day I feel like a dirtbag.

    It's funny to see some guys in their 20's who seem to be still going through their 'My Ma's not here to tell me to do things so I don't have to!' phase.

    "I can stay up as late as I want anytime!"
    "I don't have to brush my teeth at all!"
    "Showering is for girls! I only shower after sports!" (Pro Evo doesn't count as sport loser)

    Have a wash ya hippies!

    Not every day unless its summer and I'm sweaty and horrible. I have sensitive skin so every second day or so does me nicely thank you very much :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,992 ✭✭✭DavyD_83


    Most days, in the morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭Rob_l


    Maybe once a week if i dont smell I might just leave it for a week and a half

    We have to try and conserve the water!
    wont somebody please think of the children!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,497 ✭✭✭✭Dragan


    Every morning after i wake up and every night before i go to bed.

    Add another shower on training days.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 74 ✭✭wordofmouth


    Once a day or more if gym/training is involved.

    And everyone should wash everyday god dammit

    Seriously now. They do.

    Even if they think they don't. Just cause you can't smell you doesn't mean i can't either. Noone wants to work with or get stuck next to the smelly guy on the bus. Maybe if your not interacting with other humans on a day to day basis you could get away with it

    This post reminds of me of the ridiculous argument I overheard at College Green between a couple. "Remember that thing about washing your hands after going to the toilet? That is not negotiable! Ok?" to a not particularly listening male other half.

    Most people do.

    I have yet to experience your odour up close so can't tell.

    But - why not be on the safe side, eh? Do everyone else on public transport a favour?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,509 ✭✭✭Jigsaw


    I shower every morning if possible. If not then I'll at least get my towelling glove and give my shuch a good scrub to get rid of any arse hay that has developed.

    your attempts at insults :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Which side is the safe side?
    What favour can I do everyone else?
    I dont know how to answer your two questions!
    Or maybe you didn't mean them as questions perhaps you see these "?" as pointless little marks to be put at the end of sentences!

    As it happens i shower twice daily but only because i cycle to work and home in the evenings so am quite sweaty from physical exertion however I don't feel people who live sedentary lives need to shower every day, if they choose to so be it but i don't see this "need". Perhaps during the summer there is a greater "need" to shower every day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,175 ✭✭✭chamlis


    Shower every second day, but I do WASH myself on the days I don't :rolleyes:

    Only shave every second day. GF likes the scruff :D

    Nope they were both questions. Both were fairly easy to understand. If you're having trouble don't worry about it. It's fine.

    The safe side is the washing daily side. Because - let's face it, what harm is going to come from that? Answer: none.

    (See the way I answered my question there for you because you seem to find it a bit tough?)

    The favour one can do others on public transport is washing themselves daily so other people don't have to be pressed up against a stinking person on their way to work in the morning.

    Also - the questions weren't so much directed at you in particular as people in general. I was using them as a jibe at you, yes. But also using them as questions posed to anyone who may not think it necessary to give themselves a regular scrub.

    Both were statements!


    huh the washing daily side:confused:
    Are you suggesting I wash only one side daily?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 184 ✭✭burgess1


    I just don't feel right if I don't shower every day!

    why not be on the safe side, eh?

    Starts with the word why and ends with a question mark. Let me see. Yup. That's a question.
    Do everyone else on public transport a favour?

    Ok. This one I grant you could be taken either way. However the question mark at the end should have clued you in that it was a question with a presumed 'why not' at the start.

    While your attempts at anal nit-picking are amusing to me you're really stretching it trying to convince me that you don't understand fairly basic posts.

    (Anal nit-picking! :D)

    4-5 times per week,ussually in the morning


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,631 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    A few times a week. Im blessed with rarely sweating! Only my face moists up a bit, thats all!

    I think that the above is a very valid point.

    Some of us sweat far less than others.
    Personally I rarely sweat outside of the summer months.
    I don't need deoderants.

    If somebody give off a whiff of B.O. it is likely that they are just a sweaty person. It is probably not an indication of lack of showering.

    Out of curiosity: what's the point in showering before going to bed (unless you're not going to have one the next morning)?

    I shower nearly every day but the odd day I don't feel at all stinky so I don't bother (that would only be when the weather's cold though). I have very dry skin so there's no harm in giving it a bit of a break now and again. And yeah, I don't sweat much either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    every day minimum, twice if i'm heading out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 442 ✭✭Papillon87


    Once a day usually. Then if I'm going out I'll have one whilst getting ready.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,601 ✭✭✭DetectivFoxtrot


    I shower every second day. don't need to do it every day as I don't sweat that much. Plus I have long hair so drying it each day is too meh for my liking, also it would be very damaging.

    I shower mostly in the evening before bed, it feels great getting into bed all clean and sparkly and then not having to worry about getting a shower in before heading to work, it's a convenience thing really, I get up at 6.20 which is early enough tbh, if I had to shower and dry my hair I'd prob have to get up at 5.50am:eek:
    I don't sweat overnight (unless it's a hot summer's night) so I still wake up as clean as when I went to bed!
