I've been known to go 2 months without a full shower. I'd wipe myself all over with baby wipes and put talcum powder & deodorant on every few days, but it took an act of Congress to get me in the shower. Especially when I was depressed. It was just too much to bother with, I hated being naked and cold, and I didn't want to change clothes because I hated doing laundry. I do pretty well now, I shower at least once a week (and that's OK for someone my age with dry skin who doesn't sweat much), more often if I do sweat. I like being clean, and every time I shower I ask myself what the big deal is. Once I'm in, it feels like a treat what with the soap that makes luxurious lather and the scrubbers that get rid of all the dead skin. It's getting in there that's the hardest part of the procedure, and I have to fight myself every. darn. time.
