    A bath twice a year, whether I need it or not

    Ah, OP's post reminds me of my favourite AH comment of all time.

    "Of course I shower every day, i'm not a fcuking gyp."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,721 ✭✭✭✭_Brian


    Shower most days, Lynx Africa the others. ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 936 ✭✭✭JaseBelleVie


    Shower in the morning. And shower in the evening. Freshens me up before work in the morning, and helps me scrape the filth of the day off when I shower in the evening.

    Cannot function in the morning unless I have a shower. I might "survive" without an evening shower, but if I can't have a shower in the morning I'd nearly ring in sick or something!

    Depends on what I'm doing - if I'm just hanging around the house of a sunday in my tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt then no. Almost any other day, yeah.

    I can put up with the bed-head but I wouldn't expect others to!

    That feeling of unwashed greasy hair and ball sweat is the worst


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,768 ✭✭✭✭tomwaterford


    I have been known to shower up to four times a day

    I don't think ive ever met any adult that doesn't shower at least everyday
    (not that I do be discussing shower habits with strangers)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,591 ✭✭✭skeleton_boy


    I wash myself with a rag on a stick


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,691 ✭✭✭Lia_lia


    I shower every morning. If I dont I feel manky all day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,561 ✭✭✭Duff


    I have to shower daily. Twice if I'm in the gym. When I was living in NYC during the summer I'd shower 3 or 4 times as it was that humid.

    I shower every morning, whether I'm going anywhere or not. It's part of my 'waking up' routine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 917 ✭✭✭Mr_Muffin


    I brush my teeth 3 -4 times a week i don't see the need to do so anymore than that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,785 ✭✭✭KungPao


    If you don´t shower at least once a day, you´re a horrible excuse for a human being and you should be ashamed of yourself - you have let your family down.

    At least once a day. Twice if I've been working out.

    Not harsh enough, my friend.

    Washing regularly is imperative for modern Homo Sapiens, or else we´re no better than Homo Erectus.

    Absolute and utter bollocks, it's as if people are being paid by shower makers to promote their products. I shower once every two or three days and almost always in the evening (morning showers are for morning people, not for me).

    Gotta shower everyday. To put it bluntly, unwashed gooch/balls do not smell pleasant to mine nostrils.

    1st of all...I´m obviously being tongue-in-cheek-ous.

    But in all seriousness, once in three days? That´s a bit gross.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 535 ✭✭✭ALiasEX


    I get a full body lick from my cat everyday.

    All I can say is I hope you don't expect oral sex ???!!

    I thought I was bad...trying to wash my hair every 3 days because it's getting heat damaged from drying/straightening, but I shower every day. It only takes 2-3 minutes.

    There's nothing worse than the guy in work that smells like BO and makes everyone uncomfortable.

    You are that guy.

    Billions of people do not shower everyday.

    In Ireland, millions of people do not shower everyday, including me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Some people begin to pong a couple of hours after showering, so yeah they should knock themselves out and go for it 2 or 3 times a day. Personally, I dont have BO issues unless Ive been physically exerting myself and / or the weather is hot. So with my relatively sedentary lifestyle in this Irish climate, I normally get away with every second day.

    I know dozens of people who don't even possess a shower, never mind shower every day.

    Ireland.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,785 ✭✭✭KungPao


    I think people in Ireland use our low temperatures as an excuse to skip the aul showers...

    But your balls/gee, arsehole and armpits are still gonna stink...

    Just have a wash ffs.

    It only takes a few minutes and youll feel better after it - and your friends and colleagues will appreciate it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    I don't see the need to wash every single day. I shower typically 3 or 4 times a week but I also use deodorant and change socks and jocks every day and I'm fresh most of the time.

    During the summer, I will usually shower every day though.

    Every second day at least. Becomes every day depending on warm weather or exercise.

    Yep. I think people don't realise how much they stink. I have a colleague who boasts about how she doesn't need to shower every day, but she does. She smells. She just doesn't realise it.

    Every 2-3 days for me. No need to any more regularly.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8,867 ✭✭✭eternal


    Everybody needs to shower daily unless they are sick and unable to. Skipping the odd day is acceptable but I end up hating myself if I don't wash.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,799 ✭✭✭onethreefive


    I shower everyday and sometimes I have a shower in the middle of the day depending on how much I've sweated during the day.

    No I don't smell of BO because (unknown to the shower worshipers) not having a shower every 6 hours does not mean you smell.

    If I dont shower in the morning, it feels like a continuation of the previous day...kinda like if you kip on your mates sofa in your clothes. You feel manky in the morning, and just want to get home for a nice wash.

    Humans stink up very quickly. If you think you dont need a shower there is probably an office/bus full of people who wish you did have one...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29 daukey34


    Baby Wipes all over , don't need to shower at all hehe

    How do you know that every person on the bus who doesn't smell showers daily?

    Also, people vary in how much they sweat, some people are way sweatier than others.

    If you don't wash for a couple of days it becomes quite apparent that those areas are liable to stink... You don't need to hunch over and put your nose to them or anything

    For me a morning shower is like having to run 5k in the morning, massive effort and something I don't even want to consider doing.

    Luckily normal people doing normal daily things don't suddenly stink like the soap investors think. I really can't believe how brainwashed people are to think they have to shower every day.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,611 ✭✭✭david75


    Those that shower more often tend to pong up more quickly.thats because We aren't designed to shower even once a day. You're screwing your skins own processes up by showering too often.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8,867 ✭✭✭eternal


    People sweat more under stress. I still think people should wash daily. I even do my hair every day and it's really long. There's no excuse for being manky.

    Were not designed to shower at all.

    Personally it would be every 2 days maybe 3 over the weekend.

    But I also don't,think it's possible to shower properly in under 30mins. How can some people have showered and scrubbed everywhere in 3 mins like has been claimed? I normally shower for 45mins to an hour.
