I voted 10 but it's closer to 15.

Wednesday (night), Friday (night), Saturday (afternoon), Sunday (morning - depending on physical activity, which depends mostly on weather). They're all based on sports activities.

For some lucky reason, I don't naturally stink - and I do work with people who would definitely let me know if I did, plus family members where various judgements are pretty no-holds-barred.

I think it's hard to draw conclusions from this level of data without being able to correlate with daily levels and degrees of social contact and intimacy, regional climate and weather, activity levels and exercise, and so on.

Thanks for this poll, I'm baffled to see people not showering every day, but what do you know !

Sometimes I just throw some water in my face, shave using the machine, then off I go. Next day I'll shower.

Also, remember that fresh underwear and clothes is almost the same as a shower.

Every day. Now that I am in my own home I actually have a warm bath every evening, it’s a great way to end the day. I can skip one day in rare occasions but feel too uncomfortable going more than that, not because of stink or others noticing but because I just don’t feel clean

Showering everyday is connected to atopic eczema and allergies. Your skin is the first element of your immune system and showering every day with soap is unnatural and damaging to your skin.
