I'm going on 6 days as of now, although I've done more before. What are some of your records?

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Six days?
Are you trying to get rid of someone?
I lived without running water for five years and I still washed every day. Even in the winter without power. One gallon of water boiled up on the woodstove mixed with two gallons of cold water gave you three gallons of nice hot wash water.
After those five years, I moved into a house in town and took at least three boiling hot showers a day for the first year. I'm down to two a day now.

That can`t be good for your immune system and your skin..
We humans are not supposed to be washing that often, something that all the asthmatics we have with the newer generations is a good example of.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Week and a half, I was backpacking so everyone else smelled the same, and I took an hour shower as soon as I found running water. Nothing like a good old fashioned trip in the backwoods to make you worship warm running water.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Two weeks, nobody noticed. Pre-puberty though.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
4 days...as far as i can tell
We do not sow.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Two weeks, not many people notice and I didn't feel bad about it.
Beirut that IS unhealthy. You are not supposed to clean yourself that often, what are you afraid of? Your woman won't leave you for just smelling a little bit.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
9 years...took baths until I was nine.
Went 10 days without washing recently because I'm back at home and our shower only trickles. Usually I wash when I'm sweaty or feel dirty, much more often in the summer than winter.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
something as 2 days max.
Hate to not shower.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
I only use soap when I'm actually dirty.
I just love standing under a hot waterfall. Clears my mind, feels great, I get to sing my favorite Celine Dion songs, and makes me breathe a bit easier when the asthma is nasty.
If I die a few months earlier because of too many showers, it will have been worth it. A loooong hot shower is one of the greatest physical pleasures there is.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Since I was 14 just about everyday I have taken a shower. Minus the days I was sick. When I was in the navy I had to go up to a week w/o a shower but that was'nt my own choice. Out at sea most/all ships can't produce enough water to sustain the crew for all of thier water uses so showers are the first to go.
Anyways the worst I've see was the guy I had to sleep across from on the ship. The guy was asked repeatedly to take a shower, then 1 magical day, boom he's in the shower. So this is a spectacle for everyone observing this. Then.............................................................. of all things goes ahead and puts the same underwear back on.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
I don't know. I would guess 10 days.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
A couple of days maybe....3 or 4 max, even when I go camping.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Rarely any more than two days; even when there's no running water a bucket, at least.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
I shower twice a day usually, and the longest I've gone without is 2 (or 3...not sure) days. I did wash my hair though...
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
When I was younger, I'd go weeks at a time. I didn't care, and no-one else seemed to either.
Post-puberty, though, I've showered pretty much every day. My hair's very long now, so I need to keep it clean or it looks awful.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Heh, join the club. Its been shorter on me for a while now, but it didn't half turn into a mess if I couldn't be bothered to shower every so often.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
I shower every other day....unless i go camping or something then i go longer than a day

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Funny thing is, I used to shower every single morning, without exception, even if I was late for school or whatnot. Sometimes I'd shower again later that evening if I was going out with friends... that's high school for ya... terrible.
Now though, I've eased up quite a bit (19 yrs just for the record). Hell my girlfriend likes when I don't shower... something about manly... something something.... Fortunately, she doesn't practice what she preaches.
I do however also love the feeling of a nice, hot shower. Really wonderful when I actually get down to it.
*sniff sniff* That's me. Think I might end this streek right now actually. Happy showering!
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
You're gross...
I play soccer everyday so I really take a shower everyday...
I may not do it once in a while on Sundays, but other than that, every day...
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Guess whose back,
back again.
I am back,
freshly showered................
Shhhhhhhhh.......
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
I bathe at least once a day, sometimes I skip one due to collapsing from stress and exhaustion (bad days), but the longest is like a week or so in summer when I only got out of bed to take a squirt.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
I shower daily. Longest I've gone was probably a week, but that was back when i was in 6th grade or so.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Very nice...Guess whose back,

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Very nice...
Unless you're being sarcastic. In that case.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Absolutely not.
I'd imagine taking a hot shower after 6 days would feel like bliss...

Indeedy-doo.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
I usually shower every day. I've gone maybe two or three days without one, but that's very rare. I have to take two showers a day in the summer though, otherwise I feel dirty and smell....
