UNLESS you work a blue collar job, or any other job that requires you to be outside the whole time, I don’t see the point in showering every day. Especially if you work from home or in a building with AC. It seems excessive and is also a waste of water. But do what you want lmao.

I can’t sleep unless I shower I just feel disgusting
This is the correct answer. Sleeping in a dirty bed feels like some depression nest shit nobody in a sound mental state would ever try to justify.
I work from home for my main job (desk job) and still sweat; I also try not to over-use my air conditioning. Additionally, I have to mow (though the goal is to continue reducing grass in favor of edible plants, it takes time), do other work around the house, and do small-scale farming.
All of that nonwithstanding, I’ve gotten into the habit here in Japan of not getting in to bed dirty. I don’t wash my sheets every single day, so I wash me before getting into bed rather than stewing in bacteria, fungi, pollen, etc. for a week or more at a time. Additionally, a hot bath before bed helps me relax and get ready for sleep (though I skip it sometimes in the worst parts of summer). My sleep quality is also now better than it used to be.
I don’t see the point either. Now in winter for example I’m taking, like, 4 showers a week - I never skip two days, but I’m not going all the way to shower religiously every single day either.
Nope. Live in a place where being outside for 10 minutes results in swamp ass. Exercise everyday, even indoors.
Well you exercise everyday, so the outside part doesn’t really matter for that scenario. You’d take a shower from sweating from exercise
And I think that’s the point. We all assume everyone else will shower if they do something that makes them sweaty. If not. That’s where the problem arise imo
Disagree. It depends on factors like stress, diet, and genetics. Not everyone is just like you.
How often do you exercise?
You should sweat every day, either via labor or exercise. (Obv not always intense exercise)
I’ve been a once a week person these days and I have no problem with it. I don’t leave the house much and should prob exercise more though dangit.
Different bodies different care. I constantly ooze thick oily sweat and if I don’t shower I start getting bad acne. Also, just massive amounts of musky BO if I don’t reapply deodorant every day.
It’s nasty but it’s just how my body do ATM. Gotta shower daily.
it’s likely you ooze oil because you’re constantly using harsh products to scour all the oil from your skin lol, i had the same experience up until i stopped using shampoo for a month and my body finally got the memo and simply stopped spewing out grease, now it simply doesn’t get oily at all.
Bruh i’m bald. I don’t use shampoo period. I use what’s supposed to be a healthy-skin face wash, and i just apply it by hand (no sponge or anything).
If anything I’d guess diet is the biggest thing, but I’m climbing regularly and not eating my current protein-heavy diet leaves me hella sore and out of energy, so i don’t feel like experimenting with my diet ATM.
I do exercise daily, sorry, daily shower is a must.
I shower every other day and feel fine, except on the hotest days in summer
Some people think “not showering” means to wash in any other way. Some people think “not showering” means to not wash at all.
Almost every single comment here reads totally different depending on the readers assumption.
Eh, at least rinse off. TMI, but I personally enjoy having my intimate areas touched, and I find washing them helps me get where I want to go.
Maybe no need to vigorously scrub your body from head to toe every morning, but there is an advantage to at least rinsing the stink off of yourself every day.
Take any temperature you feel comfortable at.
Raise it by 10℃, and consider that temperature. That’s what I feel like at your “comfortable” temp.
Simply put, my body runs super-hot. My ideal temps for various situations tend to be 8-15℃ below the same range of other people.
As in, even normal office temp ranges can make me look like a drowned rat if I engage in any physical effort at all. Even something as simple as moving banker’s boxes around can have me drenched in sweat at “normal” office temps.
I love winter, because I can be out there in -10℃ weather without even a jacket, be shovelling snow, and I can actually exert myself without sweating. Winter is about the only time of the year where I can experience truly comfortable temperatures.
This is pretty much me my whole life. I sweat super easy.
Also my brain itself doesn’t like heat. If you are familiar with Discworld, I’m basically a troll. The heat makes me dumb and unable to focus.
Im also super sensitive to humidity with breathing. When its warm and humid out I feel like I can’t breath.
Nice to know there are others out there like myself. I’m not this far in the extreme, but I very obviously have northern genetics and I live in the humid South. I abhor summer and dream of winter. I just want to live somewhere where I don’t become dehydrated from less than 30 minutes of effort outside.
If I don’t my eczema gets extra bad, unfortunately.
