Lol I'm bored.

My record is 6 days, when I was 10 years old, during summer vacation. I'm not really sure why I did it, haha.

    7 days, at summer camp when I was 13. On the last day, they lined us up, hosed us down with the fire hose, gave us 90 seconds to shampoo and lather, then hosed us down again.

    About a month, maybe month and a half when I was homeless. I still "washed up" daily, though. Every single day. My car wasn't equipped with a shower, sadly.

    I think I probably went a good year without one when I was a teenager but now I'm an adult I think the maximum is probably like four days and that's if I haven't left the flat in all that time!

    4 or 5 days at camp when I was 14. To be completely fair, the showers were disgusting and I think I was cleaner at the end of the week for having NOT used them.

    I am not sure, but it was 12 days without washing my hair this summer after cochlear implant surgery. I think I avoided the shower for 4-5 days.

    Edit: I think it went perfectly fine actually, you can get pretty clean with a cloth, hot water and soap.

    I just took my first shower since Sunday of last week. Was so ill I could barely get out of bed to use the bathroom.
