Do you bath or shower everyday?

I found out today my good friend does not shower each day if she feels that she is not too dirty or sweated much she will leave having a shower until the next day.

I myself need to have at least a quick shower before bed each night or I feel icky

What do you all do?

    I have a shower in the morning and like you, I must have a shower in the evening. On Sundays I have a long soak in the bath.

    I have either or both every day
    We all evolve - get on with it
  • Shower every day, very occassional bath - I love baths, I'd have them all the time if the hot water wasn't so expensive to run!

    I'll be honest me and OH sometimes have unwashed sundays we stay in our PJ's most of the day i fnot all day. Lazing round reading the papers online in front of the coal fire, catching up on TV and watching the football followed by a roast dinner!

    Every other day for me. I find my skin gets very dry if I wash every day.

    No not everyday. Not because I can't be bothered but because I can't afford it :o We don't have a shower and if we did then I'd be saying "yes"

    I get bathed every other day and get a proper strip wash at the sink on the in between days. But I've been a bit naughty and just had a sneaky (hour +) bath while I was in on my own. An typically the gas has run out so I've been rumbled before I've even admitted it :o

    Blimey I need to wash more, maybe this is the cause why I have spots on me :(

    I have a bath every three days, which is when I wash my hair. I am not allowed to have more often at home as it uses too much water. I hate showers in my house as the shower is so weak but I am going to try and start having them now.
  • usually when I am not pregnant I shower twice a day, once in the morning and once early evening before getting into jimmyjams :o
    since being pregnant I have had this obsession with hot baths and bubbles (eating soap lol) so have been bathing twice a day for a good 2 hours :eek: i feel like I have turned into a prune :rotfl:

    Every other day unless it's very hot or if I've been doing physical work like gardening.

    I think it depends where you live; city living can make you filthy whereas you've less need to shower if you live in a clean environment.
