    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.

    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.

    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.

    I don't know. I would guess 10 days.

    Rarely any more than two days; even when there's no running water a bucket, at least.

    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.

    No, no. You have it all wrong, showering is a complete waste of time.

    Iit`s like: dang it, I`ll have to take a shower again.

    I don`t think you`re the right one to make that conclusion....

    Celine Dion songs? You canadians are mad.


    I spent a whole month without a shower 2 summers ago. Then again I was in the sea all day. Even my gf said I smelled like salt even after a week after that...

    About four days in May I went without showering. I also kept on the same clothes for the time, even in bed... And these were a sweaty few days. Only light drizzle, and generally quite warm except when I walked through two rivers. Of course, if I could have showered I certainly would have -- the shirt I wore then still isn't quite the same -- but I was up in t'hills, the Cairngorms. Camping near Ruigh Aiteachain and Carrour Bothy, hiking in the name of HRH the Duke of Edinburgh for a little silver badge that says PP and the hope of one day meeting the Prince Philip...

    A couple of days. I hate not washing, I stink and my hair goes downhill fast.

    Plus I have blond hair and I'm dark facial hair so I look really messy really fast. Damn genetics.

    Even when I'm places without a shower I take wipe things...
