    Immediately after I sweat or get really dirty, like working out or gardening in the summer, or otherwise every other day.

    Twice most days - once in the morning and then once (body only) after workout. On the weekends, I can go a day or two without showering as long as I don't get sweaty and don't have to go out in public. My skin is super sensitive so if I get sweaty, I get itchy.

    shower after my workout at night before I go to work. (I work thirds)

    The only time I'll take 2 a day is if I get lucky in the mornings.. then I shower before I lay down to sleep for the day.

    This. I workout in the evening and then take a long hot shower orf bath before bed. I just freshen up in the morning before i go to work. I rarely take another FULL shower in the morning.

    I shower most days before work, because I have a tendency to get awful bed-head. If by some miracle it looks okay, I usually go with it for another day or two. However, I take a lot of quick, scalding-hot baths too, because I get cold easily and it's a great way to warm up.

    Every day. Sometimes I shower at night too if I'm too yucky from the gym.

    It all depends when it rains..... I feel bad for my neighbors and the view they may be getting on rainy days.

    I shower at least every day, but on work out days I shower twice daily. I rinse out and condition my hair every time, but I don't wash my hair more than twice a week as it's extremely curly.

    This. I shower once a day (twice if I workout and I'm gross), but I wash my hair every other day to every 2 days. It is really bad to wash your hair every day when it's curly.

    Once a day. I shower after I work out on my days off.

    At least once a day, twice depending on if I get dirty or sweaty.

    I'm amazed that so many people shower 2-3 times a day. That seems so wasteful of time and resources. And the people who shower BEFORE their workouts? WTH? :huh: I shower after workouts, so 5-6 times a week.

    I have no problem with people who shower before the gym. I'm sensitive to smell and I appreciate their efforts :flowerforyou:

    Depends on the day, how hot it is, the activities I've done ...
    On a hot day or one where I've been at school or worked out, then once or twice
    But if it's a lazy pj day, I don't bother haha!

    I find once a month does it for me. Any more than that and I just feel to dang clean and sterile.

    Once (at night after my workout) unless I have a reason to shower more frequently. I hate being sweaty, so in the summer, I do tend to shower two or three times a day, depending on how much time I spend outside.

    When my pants and underwer can stand up alone in the corner, then it's time for a shower. And some laundry.

    How in the hell do you have time to shower 3 times in a day?

    I know, right?

    I feel unhygenic for showering every other day now.

    But I'm clean! I don't really sweat, and I wash my face and hands multiple times a day.
    In fact, the only reason I shower as often as every other day is because my hair sometimes gets a little greasy (more if it's hot, but I like to err on the side of clean hair) halfway through the third day of no washing, and I wouldn't want to shower midday.

    Every two days? Some times 3, i do rinse off with just water once a day though. My skin is prone to being dry and i have really long thick hair... if i showered/washed everyday i would be a big ball of skin flakes.

    Shower in the morning to wake up, shower after work to get the days grime away, shower after working out and a shower before bed depending on whether Ive done anything filthy afterwards.

    every other day, sometimes 2 days between. After workouts I will shower off my body but only dry shampoo my hair with baby powder...it's bad for your hair to shampoo too much

    You people have too much time on your hands/waste too much money on water!

    I shower 6x a week(because let's face it sunday is usually a lazy day and I don't even get dressed), wash my hair 3-4x a week.

    ^ What she said!
