    Once a day, twice if I exercise.

    I know people that take five or more per day. What are they doing that for? :S

    Some public places and offices are banning wearing anything scented, even the scent from laundry soap/dryer sheets. So keeping the human smellies at bay is a new challenge. Almost sounds(or smells) counter-productive

    I usually shower at night before bed but was too damn tired to last. Work up this morning got dressed, got in my car to go to work...half way there realized I didn't shower last night or this morning. Oops!

    There's new research proving that showering more than once actually makes your skin dirtier than if you shower less frequent.
    It's because she skin has a sort of protective film of fat to help the skin keep clean, but when you shower too often this natural protection is destroyed. The more you shower, the more sensitive the skin gets.

    It's drying to the skin, causes small cuts on the skin opening it up to bacteria and other pathogens. Tis a true statement.

    I shower at night but that's also when I do my working out so I guess that works for me. Keep it simple right? Say no to OCD.

    Jeez people! I shower every morning. I need to feel clean in the morning, and I can't go out with my hair looking like that. :laugh: 3x/day is WAY to time consuming and wasteful!

    Three times a week is adequate for most people, especially in the winter. If you are in there more than once a day, you are probably doing something other than cleaning your body! :laugh:

    To the people who shower 3+ times a day:

    I feel for you because I shower every 1-2 days and I smell just fine. If you're showering that many times I hope you're at least masturbating in there.

    I'm so glad I don't work at such a place. That would suck.

    Are these teenage boys showering 3+ times per day? My nephew does, but we are all quite certain he isn't washing up when he is in there!!!!

    I can only shower twice a day. I have psoriasis, if I shower more than that, especially with a lot of hot water my skin dries out terribly. I couldn't imagine 3 times a day.

    I have to shower this much. The weather is insanely hot and humid in here (Neiva - Colombia). A couple of hours of activity (doesn't have to be exercise, could be errands) means being drenched in sweat and still overheating. But:

    * I can't do this if my schedule doesn't allow it. These days I am able to return to my living premises very frequently between classes so I can.
    * Not everyone finds this weather as deadly, but a lot do, includying me.
    * I don't spend more water than the average person because my showers are very short. Bills are okay.
    * When I travel to less deadly weather I can shower as little as every other day or less and feel fine.

    I shower sometimes three times a day. Once in the morning always. Then once if I run or if I work out. Sometimes I run twice a day or I workout more than once. I unfortunately sweat like a pig. I refuse to smell! Sheesh, some people need to get over themselves. A quick shower to freshen up is fine!

    I will absolutely, oh hell no, never leave my house if I haven't showered for the day. I don't know how people, especially women with hair, can go without showering in the morning. I just can't do it. So a shower every morning in the 'winter' and another one later on the in day if it's Summer and we've been on the beach. The shower is like the last cup of coffee for me, I'm not awake until I've had it.

    Showering more than once a day just seems kind of insane to me. I don't even shower every day. If I don't smell or feel dirty and if my hair feels fine, why waste the time and water? And with the amount of time it takes me to get ready -- styling my hair, doing my makeup -- there's no way I would erase all of that with a shower. I wash my face at night but that's as close to a second (or even sometimes first) shower that I will get.

    If you've ever been in a packed bus or subway(shoulder to shoulder) you'll be thankful for those that showered

    I often shower 3 times a day. First thing in the morning is a must for me, after my lunch hour workout and again in the evening if I have worked out.

    The after workout showers are just quick rinses and I don't redo my hair. I can't imagine putting my clothes on after working out and not washing off the sweat.
