    I would say 36 hrs; at that point it is noticeable.

    I am one a day religiosly, and would wash my hands about 7 or 8 times a day.

    9 days, in August 2007. Flew from San Diego to New York, started driving west from New York in a van with 4 other Irish students. The first no. 2 I did was in St. Louis (a distance of about 1500 miles from NY) The next was back in San Diego, with a shower following that up.

    Daily shower, but Friday night is bath night, bubbles, oils, scented candels, glass of wine, soft music, lights off, phone off, love friday nights:)

    In most recent memory, 3 days at a festival a few years back. I was camping.

    Four days at a music festival, but usually every day

    The feeling of standing under a hot shower, after sleeping in a tent and rolling around in mud whilst drunk/off your face for the previous few days can't be beaten.

    And then when you fall into your lovely clean bed afterwards..... Heaven:)

    About 7-8 days over the summer last year. And I had to wear 2 wetsuits for 10 hours a day for those 8 days. Hair was like wool

    My personal best is about 2 months while I was volunteering in the Amazon basin to save the trees.

    And how did that work out?
