I know this may sound really stupid but how many times should a person bathe in one day? I take a shower once a day and my best friend says that's disgusting because she showers twice a day. I was just wondering if twice a day is the average people shower a day?

Once a day is adequate. Any more often only dries out the skin and hair and can lead to problems in that way. Your friend sounds like she has a self esteem problem and worries about her hygiene as a result of that. I only bathe twice a day if I have been extremely active (perspiring) as in sports, running or aerobics. Tell her she is all wet.

Well now I only bath or shower once a day, and gosh I hope people don't think I'm disgusting. I would lean more towards your friend being a little OCD. Unless she has a job that's really messy, or contaminated with bacteria or something, and she needs to bath before work and after work. Daily bath or shower is plenty I think.

well..unless she is a very "physically active"person..then..once a day should be suffecient....maybe she doesn't have to pay a water bill...hahaha.... i know there are people out there,who have a "thing"with bathing.....i dated a guy once ,and he always took 2 showers a day...myself..if i don't take one at night,it's a 4 sure thing of the morning..it's better in the morning,it's a great "eye opener"hahaha....i do know that you aren't supposed to wash your hair every day,it's not good for it..it strips your hair of it's natural oils,and damages it...ask any beautician...don't worry about what she says..hey..if 1 shower a day hits the spot for ya..that's all that matters......

Just once a day is fine.
Also, some people have a shower in the morning and others have it at night (before they go to bed). I'm pretty sure it doesn't really make that much of a difference when, but i prefer to have mine at night time.

i bathe 2 times a day. Before I go to work, and when I come home from work... I would hope that people know to bathe and groom themselves on a daily basis.....I would say at least 1 time a day, and depending on your job, 2 times, unless its like really hot outside, then I would say more...

Once a day sounds right. Some doctors even recommend that you only wash your self once a day because it takes the nutrients out of your hair.

hahaha.. you know what.. it really depends on where you are.
I heard french people take a bath seldom.
Americans dont take a bath.. (they take a shower, once a day)
in our country, you gotta take a bath atleast twice a day.. morning and evening!

I think that your friend might be a bit obessive must people shower once a day

Once a day is fine. If you dig a little deeper and start asking questions she is either obsessive compulsive or she has been molested by some pervert.
