What's interesting is a big representation of users who bathe on workdays only...

Re: Poll: How often do you bathe?
#63The need for bathing varies greatly depending on whether you use soap or not. It's possible to not stink if you don't use soap, but it requires very frequent bathing. In my experience if I actively sweat for any reason and it's been more than 4 hours since my last soap-less bath, my odor will be offensive to some people. If I can avoid actively sweating, I can get through a work day.

#64Is this making a distinction betweeb bath and shower? If yes, I bathe almost never. If no, I bathe (shower) everyday.
I came from a South Asian country and we normally have showers every day. I'm continuing to do the same in the Netherlands.
Can people sleep without having a shower?

#65I 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.
Here's my admiration. If I don't take a shower every two days, my hair will be so soiliy I can't even sleep.

#66Cold showers in hot weather actually makes you hotter, as your body raises its temperature when under the cold shower Whilst a hot shower makes your body try to lower its temperature to cool off
That seems over simplistic. Surely there must be some cross-over point between environmental temperature and shower temperature, so you could take a completely neutral shower that won't affect your temperature at all?
Also, I doubt that you could get hypothermia by using close to boiling water in a shower.

#67Surprised to so many people showering more than once per day. For people that do that, is that due to morning showers coupled with post-activity shower?
When the summer rolls around that's not super uncommon for me. Go for a run in the morning - take a shower. Take a walk in the evening - take another shower. It gets hot n' humid in the Summer where I live though.
That second shower is pretty quick though. Just enough so that I'm not sweaty when I go to bed because who'd want that?
Re: Poll: How often do you bathe?
#68It really depends on the weather and what I'm doing. When I'm sailing in summer (windsurf/wingfoil), I can shower thrice in a day, easily (I have a 20 minute bike ride with my board and sail). When I'm sailing in a cruiser, probably two showers a week, sometimes none depending on our travel time. Per month statistics are impossible for me, but over a year, probably a bit over 300 times.
Re: Poll: How often do you bathe?
#69I'd go with 15 times per month on average, every other day except when I did something physical that day.
I was showering daily because of excessive dandruff and dry skin, and what in fact helped was to actually not shower as often.

#70almost always twice a day. wake up in morning, again home for the day. extra for sweating.
