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.

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

A couple of days maybe....3 or 4 max, even when I go camping.

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

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...

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.

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.

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!
