So I have balls and yeah they’re the first thing on my body to start to smell. I can skip a shower if I’m in a hurry and I don’t smell much. That’s with working a job that’s usually physical. I was a punk kid fucking punk girls when I was younger and we didn’t bathe every day. I didn’t notice much smell then.
Now I see these ads regularly that are like hey women you stink after 12 hrs 5/10. What’s up?
You don’t produce as much oil when you shower less which is what the smelliest bacteria consume.
Exactly. I started showering less often but with more naturally oily soaps (Aleppo soap mainly) and I don’t need to shower as often since a few years back now. Feels much better. Less stress, better hygiene, no such problems, no itching anywhere, no nothing.
Must not live in a very humid area, 4 days wouldn’t fly here for anyone that goes outside at all
It’s not very humid in the winter, no. Far in the northern hemisphere, here. Farther than 63° North. So very dry air during the winters. I guess I do shower a bit more seldom in the winter. That’s probably true.
Humid or or not I find 4 is doable but 3 is more ideal but only if I don’t do any strenuous activity. If I do then I pretty much like to shower it all off.
And this is exactly what is happening with me. I don’t actually wait until 4 days, because if I do I start to smell. People in this thread are confused about that and down voting according to their confusion lol.
I actually do sunday and wednesday nights so go the four but its the end of the weekend when I can sorta afford it. Its not like I stink to high heaven. I can just sorta tell that really 3 is the sweet spot.
Exactly the same for me. 👍 Apart from the days of the week. 🙂
basically im prioritizing work week even though its remote and figure sunday I don’t often go out except in realtion to holidays.
Seems reasonable.
I usually shower after I play badminton twice a week, then Saturday on the
thirdsecond day after the last badminton of the week. It’s perfect. I never feel dirty.
