Vote and tell us if you bathe more or less often than usual due to special circumstances (dirty job, sensitive skin, etc.)

I used to bathe and wash my hair every day because when I lived in a group home they made us do that. I didn't always feel like doing it, but that would make the staff angry and they'd keep knocking on my bedroom door every ten minutes. They even had instructions on how to wash ourselves properly. But that's because the other people living in the home had chronic mental illness and needed to be reminded to do their hygiene, unless they had OCD and you couldn't get them *out* of the bathroom. :(

But doing that every day dries my skin and hair out too much, especially in the winter, so now that I live on my own I normally do it on every second day. If I go for longer than that then my hair and skin feel greasy and really disgusting. I like to be clean, but not to the extreme.

Once a day or every other day. During the summer i bathed once every 3 days. Reason: I'm lazy.

Once a week. Twice if it's one of those hot, humid days. I know that a lot of people are going to think that's gross, but truly, I don't sweat much and I don't typically smell like anything, so, I don't see any point as long as I maintain washing my hands at appropriate times. 8)

I skip two days, so it would be Monday, Thursday, Sunday, Wednesday, etc.

If I were still dating or had to be close to people for some godforsaken reason, it would be daily.

Twice a day on workdays. Once in the morning after breakfast, and again in the evening after cycling or going to the gym.

Weekends, only after my workouts.

I shower about every other day. I don't usually do much to get dirty & I have skin eczema that water drys out so my doc suggest I do it every other day.

every day when i got to go meet people, sometimes a second time if it's hot.

on days where i don't have to be around people (weekends, mainly sundays), i keep the "yesterday is short notice enough", so i shower every other or every 3 days on holidays.

The work I do gets me dirty, smelly, etc. I have to bathe every day.

After doing stuff around the farm each afternoon. I get plenty of cuts and dirt over me.

No real point for me in the morning. Haven't been getting frequent night terrors for some time now.

When I worked I bathed every day because the running water helped wake me up. Now that I'm unemployed once a week is enough. I haven't been sweating that much anyway.

I bathe every 3 days. Sooner if I get out of the pool during the summer to wash off the chlorine.

I have a dread of showering. Nothing to do with Hitchcock. I put it off until I must shower, then feel so much better after.
