Man, that's nasty. I don't think I've ever gone more than about 36 hours, and the few times I went that long I felt like a hobo.

i've been averaging 2 showers a day lately... in the hot weather i like to clean the stickiness off, morning, and night.

That's nothing. I went a week (or more) without showering when I was little during summer break.

EDIT: I would highly recommend against it because I ended up getting lice in my hair.

in the winter, you could get away with that... but in the sticky heat of the summertime... yuck.

I don't shower in 2 days all the time. I naturally don't sweat, and when I sit in front of the computer all day, I don't build odor. No one ever complains I'm stinky, so 2 days doesn't automatically mean you're stinky nasty.

you should have weighed yourself before and after to see how much weight you lose after you showered.

Since it is so dry here in Nevada, going a couple days is no big deal.

But my hair has to be washed everyday no matter what.

Huh? people have a germ/body odor/skin grease fobia around here.

Belive me, the only way you can tell if anyone has taken a shower latly is how dry their hair is. If their hair is greasy then it's been 2+days. Other than that it's pretty much all in your head. Not taking a shower for a day or two isn't noticeable. I actually prefer to take one every 1-3days, otherwise i get all dried out.

How the heck is it justified in the winter? We don't live in the dark ages any longer, we have indoor heating now.

I'm far from a clean freak if anybody's ever seen my house/room, it's like a tornado's been in here, but i NEED to take a shower before going to sleep, and i take one in the morning to wake me up... and one after the gym. So yes, i usually take 3 showers a day.

if i get up and shower then do nothing but sit around and watch TV all day and then sleep, im not dirty, no reason to take a shower again when i wake up

lol. Agreed. And those of you saying "its ok, only my hair is greasy"...

that's disgusting. take a shower before you leave grease stains on your pillow that your mom has to wash out.
