    Yes, but I do not wash my hair every day. Actually only wash it about twice a week. Quick 8 minute shower most days. :#

    Yes every night, no matter what.
    But I only wash my hair once a week. I wear a shower cap .

    No. Only time being if I'm too sick (or some scenario where there was no water.) But otherwise I'm a big shower-er person.

    Every night before bed. Can't stand to be dirty inside a clean bed. I never understood people who sleep grimy and shower in the morning. I can see showering before bed and a quick one in the morning to wake up. Wife and I race to be the first ones in - the last one has to squeegee the glass. lol

    Every. damn. day. Many (if not most) days 2x.. Depending on my workout schedule or whatever else if happening... perhaps 3x. Even when I go for early morning runs, I get showered just before my run and then again when I get back.

    Yes, my skin starts to feel filmy and I won't be able to sleep if I don't. I do not wash my hair every day. Maybe twice or three times a week?

    Twice. Once before bed, and once in the morning. I only wash my hair twice a week, though.

    Now yes, but when I lived on a rural property in Australia and only had water via rainwater tanks I had to be cautious with water use so only showered on alternate days and had a good sponge wash on the other days.

    I shower every day I work out, which is 6 days/week. On my off day I don't really know, but probably not during the colder days.

    I'm in the pool three days/wk and try to limit my hair-washing to 3-4 days/wk.

    It's crazy, but I've had days where it's 4 showers a day.

    Same.

    Only when I workout enough to break a sweat. I'd say 6 times a week though. In Summer it can be twice a day too. I just hate feeling sweaty.

    Average about 12/wk also depends on temperature/intensity of workouts.

    No. At the gym after I work out on weeknights. Rarely any other time.

    Every time this topic comes up I recall my mother quoting an old aunt of hers who declared that one only needed to bathe twice a year.

    Learn about Sylvester Graham, as he and his movement initiated the popularity of frequent bathing in the U.S.

    I didn't know this. I'm a frequent bather and love everything clean ( house, car, clothes, body and so on)
    I had friends visit from a different country. They commented on the frequent bathing and clothes/ linen washing and said it was abnormal to them! Lol

    I shower every day because showering is relaxing and I don't pay for water

    I shower most days, but at night. Sometimes if I come home super late I'll shower the next morning.

    Thank you....although a hug in real life at any given time may end up getting you a bit nasty....

    You've never seen me fresh off a bike.

    Don't underestimate.
