How long have you gone without taking a bath or shower?

[terrya]

If it's really crappy weather outside (like very cold or nasty in winter), I won't take a shower for an entire weekend. If I'm going to stay inside practically the whole weekend, what's the point?

9. About 30 hours

I play with my hair so much that it starts to feel greasy and grotesque very quickly. I can't abide not washing it. Even in a student house when the hot-water failed, I had to shower every day.

11. im lazy, sometimes i'll go a whole week

I'm a computer programmer though, so I'm allowed to smell. My girlfriend doesn't mind too much either.

14. i take a shower every day wether i have some place to go or not

other wise i feel gross.

[StopTheMorans]

15. what would happen if, somehow, you were kept against your will in a place

that didn't have the means for you to take a shower for a few days?

[AlCzervik]

21. Then i'd be cranky because i felt gross

maybe i could get a hold of some wet naps.

16. 21 days.

I bathed in a river several times. We did not have soap though. It was a stretch of the Appalachian Trial.

When my appendix ruptured I was in the hospital for 5 days and did not shower.

17. A week: Gulf War I, Feb. 1991.

My whole tank platoon went without that week. Man! I've been around camels that smelled better!

WHEW!

18. What about washing?

A good, thorough wash was all many people could get for the whole week in times before everyone had running warm water and a shower. My grandparents (living in a small village) took up the hassle to heat enough water for a bath on Saturdays only - but they did wash themselves thorougly every day.

Me? Several days, when hiking. In hospitals I also had to stay off a shower for quite some time. After that, showering becomes even more of a pleasure than before!

19. 3 months!

Long story short, I was basically living out in the wild. I took a melted snow sponge bath (just the sweaty areas) once a week, and used a crystal deodorant the rest of the time. I was staying on top of a mass amount of sulphur springs... I smelled anyways!

As a funny aside, I never got laid so much in my life! I have good musk apparently! lol!
