These threads are really undercover threads to weed out people.

I shower daily every morning. If I workout, I shower after I workout.

 

[FrigidEh]

I shower twice a day, every day. Kind of have to if you workout.

Don't know how people don't shower every day, I wouldn't leave the house.

 

[Agremont]

This whole shower after poop thing, is it a GAF inside joke or something?

 

[Platy]

My hair gets crap if I shower every day ... so I usualy skip a day once in a while because my bathroom is too small to be even possible to shower without washing my hair (specialy at 6am xD)


....and when I stay in pajamas all day on weekends I don't shower ...but then again I don't see anyone so whatever =P

 

[EdwardTeach]

But man, those people who need to shower after they poop? Do you cover your entire ass with shit spray or am I missing something? Poop comes out hole, hole gets cleaned, done. Are you germophobic by any chance?

Could be that shitting is very strenuous for them and leaves them a sweaty wreck afterwards! I had a flatmate like this, he had a terrible diet and his shit & shower routine was real smelly nuisance.

 

[Shmuppers]

My parents were always big on hygiene.

I shower daily, sometimes twice a day if I decide to run in the morning.

 

[Smokey]

Your parents are gross af

lmao

Should be once a day min. Preferably twice.

 

[digitalrelic]

A lot of you guys are WAYYY overkill on showering. Seriously. How did we ever live before the 20th century with some of you people in existence? I shower once a day, but even THAT is probably too much. Tons of evidence and science out there suggests that showering once every two or three days is healthy and once a day is probably too often and that it has some negative effects on your skin:

[kirby_fox]

Depends where you work and if you exercise. Once a week is too little, every day or twice a day can cause skin damage. They say if you work at a hospital you should shower daily though.

You can also just hit the usual parts that sweat instead of a full shower. The daily thing is totally a social stigma than actually necessary.

But yeah...your parents need to clean more.

not for me at least. I always shower after poop and that's why I only poop in my own bathroom. I can't do it at work, restaurants or whatever. I just go home where I can take my shower afterwards.
If it's an emergency and I HAVE to poop somewhere else, the first thing I do after that is go home, change my underwear and take a shower. It's like an obsession really, but a healthy one.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

Anything less than once a day is gross if you're a guy.



Got some bad news for ya bud. Everyone around you hates you. ;(

not everyone smells as gross as you dude, chill

That doesn't sound healthy to me at all.

 

[ManUnkindH]

well i think being clean is always healthy.

 

[Agremont]

well i think being clean is always healthy.

But there is such a thing as too clean, and that's not healthy. It also seems really obsessive.

 

[Miles X]

Every day, and again if you've worked out/got dirty/after messy sex.

well i think being clean is always healthy.

Physically maybe, not mentally 0_o

 

[ThatStupidLion]

depends if you work out/ are active

depends what kind of body you have - some people naturally sweat more without being too active, some people's sweat smells more, etc.

I usually shower if I work out, and if i don't I can go a day or two without smelling at all. actually really the only noticible thing about my body is that my hair begins to get oily etc, without showering. ( and my balls begin to stink, but my wife is the only one who would notice that)

i'd say 3-6 times a week is okay.

 

[SliceSabre]

Once a day is the min. Skipping a day is ok if you're like not leaving the house.

 

[King Cobra]

Once a day at least, even if I have the weekend off I will still wake up and take a shower I cannot stand waking up without a shower.

 

[PandaShake]

At least once a day. Remember to wash your bedsheet, pillow cover too. Tell your future kids to do the same. Don't let the stupid seep into society.

It feels good though.

Everyone has woken up late for school/work and had to miss a shower to get there on time and no one loves that feeling. There is something that feels amazingly good about taking a hot shower and putting on clean clothes.

To me it is just like brushing your teeth. I probably don't need to brush and floss 2 times a day, but I don't feel good if I don't. I am not sure how much of that tis mental versus actually being dirty as fuck, but if I am given the choice I always choose to shower/brush/clean my ass. It might be bad for the environment and my skin, but I like it!

 

[inm8num2]

Shower in the morning after waking up, or after exercising in the morning (otherwise shower in morning and after exercise if later in the day).

 

[Rad-]

For a very short while I dated a girl who only showered like twice a week. Strangely enough she was just as clean if not more than most people.

I feel dirty if I don't shower at least once a day.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

If you're outside working and sweating everyday then probably everyday cause you're gonna get stank. If you aren't a particularly sweaty person and don't have BO then you can do every other day or so and it's whatever. A week is kind of pushing it.

As someone else said, showering too much is unhealthy. I once had a dermatologist give me some shit about how often I showered (once a day) and how hot my showers were because it was messing up my skin.

 

[Machine]

I usually shower every morning although sometimes I might skip a Saturday or Sunday depending on my plans (or lack thereof) for the day. I live in Michigan so I will never have to worry about water rationing or shortages since there are some pretty large bodies of fresh water nearby.

 

[Feel the Swift]

Every day is majority, some people that just don't smell or aren't hairy every other. Anything more than that is disgusting it's not debatable.
If you sweat a lot, don't you hate the feeling of being grimey in the morning? It's terrible.

 

[darkside31337]

Once a day. Twice in the gross Florida summer weather and I'm outside for a decent chunk of the day.

Unless I basically plan on spending 90% of the day inside my house then sometimes I'm lazy and won't.

 

[Ivieto]

After working out, or every 2-3 days If I can't go to the gym.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Well I work in a shower lab with fungus spores...and sometimes other smelly chemicals so typically shower right after coming from work.

 

[The Lamonster]

OP's parents are gross.

 

[CitizenCope]

Not everyday I know that much.

 

[User 479360]

About 7 times

If I'm not feeling well on one or two days, I'll sometimes skip, but I usually stay in bed or on the couch those days. I can't go into my gaming (clean) room because of my OCD, as I have to shower before doing so. Some days I just don't have the energy.

I average about 6-7 per week, though.

 

[LaunchpadMcQ]

Twice a day on weekdays, once a day on weekends or holidays.

 

[perfectchaos007]

If I don't use my Dry Scalp shampoo daily I start to get severe dandruff. So yes shampoo and soap and toothpaste work and aren't advertising just ploys.

 

[Krauser Kat]

1 to 1.5 times a day. sometimes i just cant get the energy to do it before work. I only wash my hair once a week though.

 

[gdt]

What the hell at some of you guys.

Once a day flat out. 2 or 1 (dear god) times a week? You taint must smell and feel like a cheese.

 

[FunkyDealer]

5-6 times a week is probably ideal, but that's not accounting for physical activity and such. Showering too much (although length of shower will have an effect as well, so it's hard to say where the line goes) hurts your skins naturally protective oils, and can dry your skin out.

 

[bryehn]

I shower when I feel dirty and before I go to any social function. Probably 6-9 times a week on average.

 

[Bay Maximus]

I wonder how showering preferences break down by warmer vs. cooler climates. I took more showers living in Texas than in Michigan for example.

 

[FLAguy954]

Once a day, a second short one if I work out.

This. Every other day is okay on days you aren't sweating or if you aren't going anywhere.

 

[qizah]

Once a day.

I feel sorry for people around you if you go days or even a week without showering.

Stinky fucks.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I shower every morning, it's how I wake up.

Then again if I work out.

 

[thelatestmodel]

At least 7 times. You have to shower or bathe daily.

I personally find it hard to even leave the house if I haven't showered, it's disgusting.

 

[Sykra]

Shower every 3 days if i'm not exercising, any more destroys my skin. I used to be able to shower once a day but ever since i got used to the 3 day routine its impossible, skin ends up too dry all the time.

 

[RedRooster]

People that neglect cleansing themselves probably tend to neglect other parts of hygiene like proper dental care or letting their nails get out of control.
I shower 14 times per 7 day week, got my shit together.

14 times a week is extremely excessive and harmful to your skin.

 

[A Serious Man]

Once after I wake up, once after work, twice a day minimum.

 

[Murder. She Wrote]

That's not good for your skin or your hair. smh at people who shower twice daily.

For me I shower every other day, maybe every three days, depends on how my hair looks.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

7 times is the bare minimum. It only goes up from there depending on workouts, sports, yard work, etc. Anything less and I have an issue with that.

Edit: Showering every 3rd day is straight nasty. Stop it, GAF.

No wonder you're so constipated about all this.
