Yet I never smell bad.
Anyone have success stories like this?

Surely you use champeau.

Definitely, I have to shampoo and condition every day. I have heard tell of folk who don't need it, though. Some BBC report on five women who took a six week no washing challenge.

I usually shower every other day. I think the standard of showering every single day is kind of crazy.
It makes sense that hot water at high pressure can basically clean you without soap, but I think you'd need soap to get all the oil off your skin.

I only shampoo every few days, condition every day, use soap every day.
I consider myself fairly clean and have never been told I smell. So that's good enough for me.

I shampoo when my hair looks oily which is every other day. I take very infrequent baths/showers but when I do I scrub very very well, which I think is what they do in some other countries (I have a friend who went to Turkey; he said about once a month they use such hot water that their skin comes loose and they scrub off pretty much a layer of skin).
I don't purposely burn myself but I do get really clean.
I took 20 showers in 2011 and never thought I stank or looked bad.
Well I'm shocked by virtually all of that.

I think perhaps showering every day is kind of crazy in a lot of circumstances, but I definitely have some kind of skin condition that acts up really irritatingly if I don't shampoo and condition every single day.

I shower pretty much every day...and I shampoo/condition every day as well, since they're 2 in 1.

Yeah, I mean, I know dermatologists recommend showering 5-6 times a week at most (and using warm, not hot, water, but really, now, that's the fiction you choose to subscribe to, dermatologists?), but there are a lot of instances in which social concerns trump biological ones.
Showering seems like an area where it's really easy and rewarding to let it slide and give in to the world, is all.

Showering is what I used to wake up every day. I can't imagine not taking one every day (unless, of course, I don't need to wake up, as happens sometimes).

Wait so I got to thinking while I was in the shower just now.
How do you guys negotiate putting on clean clothes? Like do you put on clean clothes in the morning even if you haven't showered? Don't you feel as though the clothes are then dirtied?

Yes and no, respectively.

I shower at night. Sleep in the nude. Put on whatever the next day (socks are always new if I can manage it, pants, eh... they can go for a week or so unless they're bad, shirts and underwear probably two days).

This is blowing my mind. Like obviously pants and dress shirts are good a couple of times, but the underwear?
And the socks probably sound the worst. I would fear fungal infection.

You must think your body is pretty disgusting if you have to shed your underwear every single day.
I know I'm making a value judgment here but don't you like... sweat?
Maybe this is a southern European thing and we're just a naturally filthier people.

Well, that depends. Summering in Nevada where the days were 120+ sometimes, yes, I changed my clothes a whole lot more often. But nowadays, I don't find myself in a sweaty situation. If I happen to be exercising, I generally change afterwards.
I smell my clothes when in doubt. If it's clean, it's clean. If days were 48 hours long, I don't think people would change until that 48 hour period were up, with the exception of socks, which for me I can feel getting gross by the close of the day. I think most people are just hung up on the 24 hours thing.

I switch out the underwear daily, but at some point during the day, I am wearing the same pair of jeans I wear every day.

My armpits are the only place I ever sweat from unless I'm exercising. The sweat is caught by the white under-tee-shirt that I wear. I changed that out every day.
Wouldn't that then qualify as underwear you change every day, Alex?

I guess, but I was thinking of the underwear that goes on the loins.
See I'm not getting the lack of loin thing. I would consider the loin thing to be nonnegotiable.

Underwear gets changed every day. That's hardly negotiable. Same with socks.
Shirts are maybe 2 days. Jeans and sweats are situational, depending on prior use.
I only put on clean clothes after I shower. So if I showered at night, go to bed, and wake up, I'll put on the same clothes I had on after showering last night. I'm more concerned how my hair looks in the morning than my clothes...I REALLY need a haircut...

I'm of the opposite opinion. I'm glad that, even after over ten years, we still have new things to discover about each other.

Well, I mean, the phrase underwear refers to any clothes we wear under our normal clothes. And we wear it for a reason: to soak up any sweat, dead skin cells, flakes of fecal matter or drops of urine, etc, that come from our body, so they don't get our normal clothes as dirty. That's why, when you wear underclothes, you can wear your normal clothes longer, i.e. wear pants for multiple days. (I don't wear undershirts, so I don't wear shirts for more than one day.) That same reasoning is why we can wear our outerwear (sweaters/coats/etc) for so long without washing them, unless they get explicitly dirty (fell in mud, spilled ketchup, etc).

Another important reason to wear underwear is to keep your testicles or breasts from swaying around annoyingly. Unless you wear boxers, but that's just silly.

Yeah it *can* refer to any clothing we wear under normal wear, but normally it's just loin-related ones.
I wear boxers....
And I took 2 showers today.
Deal with it.
