Over 5 days, but I was in the hospital recovering from surgery at the time. Wasn't able to get one until the 6th day, but I didn't have soap or shampoo, just hospital issue liquid soap you press out of a dispenser. I didn't really feel clean until I was home & able to take a shower with my own soap and shampoo, not to mention, shave my underarms and legs.

I like to have a shower or bathe daily as well as wash my hair daily, sometimes twice in one day such as we went to the zoo, and it was superhot, and I sweated a ton. I pretty much feel like I have to shower every morning. On the rare occasion when there is not time for that (early pdoc appt., etc.), I shower ASAP once I am home. And I have to shower every time after I've gone swimming.

On the odd occasion, like I'm sick and most especially sick with a stomach bug, I will go a day without showering & washing my hair, but I usually feel pretty gross by then.
