I'd like to hear from women 16-50. Do you bathe once or more per day, every other day or even less? My new wife who I never lived with does not bathe every day and I am a little grossed out. Is this normal, she says it dries you out too much when you shower daily. I have only heard not to wash your hair everyday.

I don't think it's a big deal if she doesn't everyday. I know when I get home from work I cook dinner, clean house, take care of other chores and most of the time, I am too tired to take a bath. The point is, if you couldn't tell she did that before you moved in with her why care now that you found that out? That's just the way she is and unless she stinks all the time, I wouldn't worry about it too much!!!

I've heard that it dries your skin and hair out too much, but I still take two or three baths a day - everyday. Luckily, my fiance does too and I was delighted to find that he takes bubble baths with candles nightly - a man after my own heart!
I just wake up better and do better during my day if I've had my morning bath. I take one sometimes when I come home from work (even though I have an office job) just to relax before dinner. I take a bath in the evening with my fiance for our special time together. We talk, read, etc... for at least an hour every night in the candlelight. It keeps us close and connected and we both look forward to that time.

I am 42. I bathe atleast 1 time, if not 2 times per day. I guess it depends on how much you sweat and exercise, and how hot it is outside? Some people may have sensitive skin, but thier are special products for that so there should be no reason not to bathe atleast once per day.
Washing your hair can be less often, maybe every other day or longer. Again, it depends on your amount of exercise, the texture of your hair, and some other factors.
Maybe talk to her about it and let her know how you feel. I presume she has been doing this for a long time and maybe no one ever brought it to her attention. She may not think it is a big deal. If it is important to you, however, let her know. Maybe she will start bathing atleast once per day. If their is a physical condition preventing her from doing so, maybe you can discuss that too.
Good luck!

I am 46... and I bathe/shower every day..sometimes twice if I have been exerting myself.... But it really depends on the "smell" factor of your wife... does she sweat alot? Does she "stink" when she does not bathe? There are certain body parts that DO need to be bathed every day... (think smelly)... and a "sponge" bath with soap and a washcloth can do the trick if all other parts are okay.
If she is worried about drying out her skin (and yes, a combination of hard water and certain types of soap can dry out your skin), then offer to purchase a soap that has lotion in it... Body washes with lotions are better than soaps too... and get that girl some lotion for after the shower! Maybe you can offer to lotion up her body when she is done showering (bonus plan for you!)... If she is a bather and not a showerer, then purchase some bath oils for her... this will help her skin not to dry out.
But let her know that it does kinda gross you out that she doesn't bathe every day..... I think the last thing most wives want is to gross out their husband!!!

Bath and wash my hair everyday.
Some people do only bath once every other day because in the winter especially it can dry your skin out a lot.

Bathe/shower once you get up from bed and before you go to sleep at night. For men, wash your hair everyday. For females with long hair, wash every other day or every 3 days.

I bathe once every day, If I'm on my period, usually twice....and if I had a busy day and came home all sweaty then twice. yeah I wash my hair every three days. she needs to bathe everyday. If she has dry skin like I do then she can get some good lotion like nivea, eucerin, aveeno...etc. she can mix it with baby oil gel, or use baby oil gel alond, and she can put it on right when she gets out the shower, when her skin is a lil damp for best results. and most importantly PLEASE tell her that you're turned off by it and it would mean alot if she bathed everyday. even if it is just a quick shower. being turned off by something like that, can put a serious damper in the relationship.

I shower in the morning and take baths at night. Bathing everyday is definitely not a must. I do it twice a day because I love the smell of clean skin. I do admit though that I have to use lots of lotion so my skin isn't rough and scaly. As long as she doesn't stink, I guess that's okay.

I would be a little grossed out myself!!! I shower def 1 and most of the time 2 times. I also wash my hair one a day...if I didn't it would be greasy!!! Tell your wife she needs to bathe everyday and get her some nice lotion to keep her skin well hidrated and not dry...but it really isn't normal to not bathe daily.
Good luck!
