I am here in Germany and I have encountered a lot of women who say they don't bathe on a daily basis. Just a quick poll on the frequency of peoples hygiene, and their rationale/s for bathing/not bathing daily. Please include your age and where you are from.

Most days I take 2 showers---one when I get up and one before I go to bed. I wake up easier after my morning shower and I sleep better after my night shower. I am 35 and from the USA

Age - unknown
Birthplace - unknown
Frequency of Personal Hygiene - unknown, but I do know the frequency in some countries.
France - rarely
Britain - body weekly, teeth hardly ever
USA - Northern states - 3 times a week, Southern states - when rivers warm up.
Greenland - during the one day of summer
Poland - What's personal hygiene?
Germany - weekly, shaving underarms - never, shaving legs - never
Japan - daily
China - weekly after standing in line for days to get to shower
Korea - only if you run the country
Iraq/Iran/and all middle east countries - during sandstorms only and the women never.
Mexico - only when crossing rivers
Brazil - during celebrations
As you can see various places across the globe have different views on personal hygiene, you just have to find the one you like and move there.

I bathe daily.
Sometimes I bathe 2 or 3 times a day depending on what I am doing!
If you have water, you should use it! LOL
Women and men alike have a natural scent, it is unique to each body. I would not want bad hygiene to cover that up on myself or my man.

At least once a day, but generally a shower in the morning, and either a bath or shower at night.
There are few things that p**s me off more than being around smelly people, no need, urgh.

is the person giving a thumbs down to people who bathe twice daily possibly a bit of a stinker????

originally from England now in Canada shower everyday in morning, sometimes have a bath at night too. I do know some people who have to conserve water ie farmers so the children may bathe every other day or in summer keep clean through swimming. I think if you are smelly you have gone too long

If I weren't single I would be bathing every day. For now- it's every other day to save on water costs..... with summer being the exception. If I'm home in the air conditioning- every other day. If I'm working- every day.... image you know.
Have a great day!!!
