How's your personal hygiene?

My mother always comments when she's in my house about the amount of washing I do. She can't get over the fact that I will go through maybe 3 pairs of work trousers, 5 tops and 3/4 cardigans or blazers a week. Apparently that didn't happen in her day!

I have to say though, I go into the office, do my job and leave again. I wouldn't notice if the people around me wore the same clothes twice, I don't pay enough attention to them for it to register. I suppose I'd probably notice if it was to the point of stinking but I've genuinely never had that happen. So far!

There's no reason for not washing. Its disgusting. I have almost thrown up after smelling some people.

And lynx doesn't cover up the laziness or smell guys.

Biggest issue in her day was probably lack of practical washing machines. You couldn't get clothes washed without a huge ordeal and even those who had washing machines had ones with really bad spin speeds and everything took hours to dry.

There were very few dryers, lots of houses had no central heating and so on.

They just all went around smelly and cold.

I only come out of the shower to collect the post.

Shower every second day.
Sheets change every week
Teeth twice/three times a day.
Tops worn once.
Pants worn twice
Underwear every day.

As a lady, during our 'monthly special' the cleaning and underwear changes would increase.

Every second day you smell a little bit nasty, methinks.

Every day, just have to otherwise feel yucky.

When in College I worked as a part time supervisor in a restuarant and I remember I had to tell someone that they need to shower and use anti-p. I could see customers faces as she leaned over to pass/collect plates. She was a lovely girl and it was a difficult task to do. She got the message.

Had to tell another guy that he needed to wash his hands after he went to the toilet , he was preparing food and though it was ok to handle food without washing. The chef was afraid to tell him so ask me as I got on with him. Really weird to tell a man twice your age to wash his hands after using the toilet.

As opposed to just being nasty.

ToddyDoody · 10-04-2016 07:58PM

Bit garlicky but otherwise above rapproach.

I stink. Can't afford not to, since Enda.

I can't fathom why people stink in this day and age.

Shower, Anti-p and a nice subtle aftershave. Job done. Washing clothes helps too!!!!!!

Why would anyone need antiperspirant and aftershave if they've just washed?

naughtysmurf · 10-04-2016 08:40PM

I couldn't function at all without a shower first thing in the morning,

groucho marx · 10-04-2016 08:41PM

Yuck that's disgusting
Personally I shower every day and clean clothes, surprised the question even needs to be asked, I would of thought that's the norm.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 10-04-2016 08:43PM

Because you put on anti P and scents when you're clean?

P_1 · 10-04-2016 08:47PM

Shower each morning and after a workout. Fresh inner level of clothes each day (tshirt, boxers and the like) and would go through 2 pairs of jeans and jumpers each week.

Cedrus · 10-04-2016 08:53PM

I shower every morning unless it's a lazy pig weekend day or I have a donkeywork day in the garden, socks, jocks and shirt clean everyday, Jeans are good for a working week. I work on a campus, in and out of buildings all day wearing a coat, so temperature control is an issue and I can be fairly ripe at knocking off time.

Years ago I worked with an older guy who came in every morning smelling like a shower with cologne on top, someone just had to say the word "Meeting" and he instantly stank of the worst amoniac panic ridden sweat ever smelt.

Groucho, you unlike your namesake would be very surprised. There's quite a lot of stinkers out there.

IvyTheTerrible · 10-04-2016 09:06PM

During the cooler months, I shower once a day, change underwear and socks or tights every day and the outer clothes every second day. The summer here is hot (35 degrees every day, usually) so I would shower twice a day and change all my clothes everyday.

Towels used once. Face cloths used once.
Bedsheets changed once a week unless the dogs sneaked up on the bed then it's changed more.

You must be do more washing than a hotel.

One use for a towel??? That is bananas!

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 10-04-2016 09:33PM

I dunno. I like towels being fresh and fluffy. Wouldn't like to think I was drying myself with towels with bacteria or dead skin cells on it. It's no trouble washing. Put them in the wash, throw them into the dryer, fold. No big deal

KERSPLAT! · 10-04-2016 09:33PM

Aye, I'd use a towel twice anyway. Sure you're clean using it, no need to wash it each time.

robman60 · 10-04-2016 09:59PM

Shower every morning and again in the evening if I go to the pool (3-4 times a week). Brush teeth twice daily.

Clean T-shirt/shirt, socks and underwear daily, although I often wear yesterday's shirt to the gym if I go.

Jumpers and trousers I'll wear several times until they need to be changed.

Satriale · 10-04-2016 10:03PM

I'm lucky, I'm shaggy, i just shake like a dog until i'm dry, no towels needed...

...On a related note there was a lady that used to come into my place of business that smelled so bad you could almost touch the odour, if you stepped in her wake, the particles from her would actually make you blink. It was like you could see her smell, as i imagine a dog would. No sprays, incense, scented candles could cover it, nothing to do after she left but open up all the windows and close up for an hour or so(and it could still be lingering there on return).

I work with a guy that we call "bisto pits" Brown shíte in the pits of his shirts, and yellow teeth

How the fcuk do you live with that.

Old Irish proverb:

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 10-04-2016 11:49PM

Bisto pits haha that's awesome.
There was a girl in college with us, and you could always tell when she had her period because you could smell it. She was called up over it many times and still she would still come to class unwashed or in dirty clothes. She smoked like a chimney and you could smell if she was in before even going upstairs

Mint Aero · 10-04-2016 11:53PM

Usually when the sweat under my ballsack gets a bit gritty
