Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Two weeks. But in fairness, I spent those two weeks approaching, climbing and descending a big mountain. And I threw my smelly carcass in freezing streams more than once, so maybe it doesn't count.
I can state for the record, however, that the first shower after all of that is pure heaven. Hello, civilization!

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
I think it was five days. I was on a boat and you needed to constantly hold down a button for the water to drain away. I don't know why exactly, but I wasn't comfortable with that.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Three weeks. Mainly because of the fact that it was the summer holidays, i have little social life outside of school and people can't smell you over the internet. Yet.
Oddly enough, despite the fact that i don't wash as much as other people, i still don't smell much (lack of physical activity) but i'm one of the healthiest people in school when it comes to immunity.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
No, no. You have it all wrong, showering is a complete waste of time.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.
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....

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.

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...

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
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...

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
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...

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
My first semester of college, I would shower on a weekly basis (I was busy). Luckily, my roommate didn't mind, but by the end of the first semester, I hated the feeling of being unwashed so much, I made it a point to shower every day, and I haven't missed a day since.
Oh- and you people who think that being unwashed is okay, that's just sick. You do not realise the horrible things that start happening to your skin when you don't bathe enough- that is another reason I started bathing regularly. Thankfully, these things had just started, so they cleared up readily enough.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
2 months, and in that time the only underwear I changed was boxers and socks, changed both once.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Even by my standards that's rather disgusting.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
And it is even more disgusting, that we were three incl me. Some days, when we had wandered in myr (long brown grass in very wet and water like areas) in the evening, inside the tent, we suspended a string and had our socks on to try (12 socks, 2 on each foot and three man) nice smell

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Longest was 3 days, and that was when I was doing an army induction course, you know assault courses sleeping under a poncho carrying heavy stuff that sort of thing, where they get to stress the point that whatever we buy for them IT BETTER NOT BE HEAVY. I did get a dunk in the stream and this is where you get to test people's intelligence by who goes upstream to wash, I did lots didn't.
Anyway, usually everyday, after cycling or squash if I play that day or before bed if I don't, for some reason I prefer going to sleep clean.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Longest without a shower is three monthes, when I spent time in the Desert of Saudi Arabia and Iraq. However I still kept myself fairly clean by taking a wash cloth to my armpits and other body parts every day. A little cold, (or actually luke warm) water in the morning helps to refresh you no matter where you are at. Less then a canteen cup of water and you can keep yourself healthly and clean. Just always brush your teeth before taking your "bath"
One must keep themselves clean no matter where you are at.
O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
several weeks when I was working outdoors in the middle of nowhere and had no shower access.
The next shower and shave was the best I ever had.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Pre-puberty - weeks. Like BKS said, no-one noticed.
Post-puberty - everyday, or every other day.
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Normally I shower once a day. I almost never go more than two days without a shower now.
In the depths of Severe Depression I may have gone about five to seven days or so before noticing that I was sticking to chairs, etc. No one else was around to tell me that I stank, and I had other matters on my mind at the time. I've backpacked for two weeks straight on a couple of occasions, but I loved swimming across the chilly lakes, and frolicking in the burbling streams almost every day. I only soaped up (with biodegradable peppermint soap) every couple of days or so though.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Mmmmmm, biodegradable peppermint soap.... aarhrhrhh
Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Well for all the purists out there, I always jumped in and got wet, then sat (shivering) on a rock on shore and soaped up, then used my Palco pan to rinse off, then jumped back in to swim (Japanese bath style). This way, I didn't get any but traces of the biodegradeable peppermint soap in the water.
The water was freezing cold, but I don't think I've every felt cleaner in my entire life after the scrub, swim and sun-dry-lying-on-granite. It was a cleanliness that was more than just physical.
Hmm ... a bit opposite of topic but *shrugs* oh well ... .

Re: What's the longest you've gone without a shower?
Longest time I can remember was 8 days, and people DID notice afterwards. But it was from a camp, so no wonder.
