Yes, I shower every day, and wear my clothes only once usually before washing them again... when I was depressed, however, I showered every second day because I couldn't even get up the motivation to shower or brush my teeth... yeah, I'm gross.

Every second day? I don't see that as dirty.
When I was very depressed, I went for over a week without a bath/shower at times...my ex actually stuck and air freshner to the underside of my bookshelves near my side of the bed.

Now I bath daily, but I sure don't wash clothes after 1 wear unless it is underwear.

I'm pretty clean. I shower every day, but I usually wear my clothes more than once before cleaning them. Well, not my underwear. I only wear my underwear once, but something like jeans or pants I'll wear over and over until they look dirty. :) I'm not a freak about cleanliness, but I'm not dirty. You wouldn't notice anything strange about me or any weird smells.

When I was going through my reintroduced deep depression, lasted about 5-6 months until I found this place and started to feel a little bit better.. I gotta say I dont even remembered if I cared about being clean at all, dont think I did. But since that s**t ended Ive been exactly like frankwah.
It started as depression when I was really little, then at my teens it turned to anger, then it went back to depression (recently), and now Im starting to feel better than I was before so for some reason I care about if Im clean or not.. Even though I have no reason to, weird.

There was a day last Spring that I skipped my shower. But it wasn't as bad as it might have been: I did still have my small bottle of Purell with me. And, of course, the large bottle on my desk. And the 3 oz one in my pocket :-)

My clothing is washed after every use, and so are my hands ;-)

I never iron anything, however, and so I'm always a bit rumpled. I suppose I generally look like I slept in my clothes, but somewhere very clean :-)




I don't remember what happened during the time I was depressed. I vaguely recall having other worries than germs.

I washed my face today, but I didna take a shower. However, even after yesterday's workout, I don't feel real dirty under my awesome, sweat-drying, synthetic clothes. I'll definitely brush/floss/brush/rinse my teeth in a bit.

Anything else you want to know, Ana54?

Clean? Pink and squeeky at that. Gotta have my shower FIRST thing in the morning.

I have a fetish for cleanliness as well as for clean laundry.

I think so, I shower once a day, brush my teeth everyday, and run a comb through my hair a few times a day. I even have a a specific set of clothes for exercising in because I don't want my regular clothes getting all sweaty. I may miss a shower once in a while on days I feel "under the weather" but those days are few and far between. I won't wear shirts or underwear twice, but I will wear jeans more than once sometimes if I never got anything on them. Same thing with jackets once cold weather starts.

I brush my teeth every day, but I only shower if my hair gets greasy or if I feel, smell, or look dirty. Sometimes I shower a couple of days in a row, but sometimes I'll go for as many as five or six days without bathing. I do the same with my clothes; once they start to look, smell, or feel dirty, then I clean them. My opinion is, if you can't tell it's dirty, then it's not. :D Maybe that's gross, but I don't think so.

Usually I have a bath 3 times a week, wash my hair once a week, change my underwear & socks every day, my blouse/top every day & my trousers/jeans every 2 days.

On a non-bathing day I make sure I wash the parts that are likely to get smelly!

As a child I had a bath every day but my parents only had one bath a week. They tell me that was normal when they were young & that this obsession with bathing every day only happened in modern times.

They also wear clothes for more than one day (& don't smell).

As far as I am concerned, when you start to smell is when you need to bath/shower. This is different for different people as we all sweat different amounts. (I do not sweat very much).

Ya I shower and brush daily, I keep my cloths clean and I wash my hands like 10 times a day, im clean, i dont like being dirty unless camping (and then i bring handsoap and a toothbrush, even for a day or 2)

I dont go without a shower longer then 2 days and that only camping, after that its nessissary.

I wash but I do find it hard to look after myself sometime. I tend to wear the same clothes a lot. Well at least I save some energy.
