This must be a much more common issue than we think. But nobody wants to admit to not showering every day, do they? I know that hygiene issues are involved for several of the girls at the facility where I work. There, they are required to shower daily and wash hair at least twice a week. I grew up in a family that still belived in Saturday night baths. Everyone got a bath or shower on Saturday, but that was the only time. I feel like I'm not worth more than that, but I feel dirty if I don't bathe at least twice per week. And my hair sometimes takes more than 24 hours to dry, so if I washed it every day I would never have dry hair. I could blow dry it, but my hair dryer isn't very good and burns it up. I'm not convinced that bathing more than twice a week is necessarily healthier. Your skin needs some of those natural oils that get washed away. And you can always spot clean in between. But each person is different, and people tell me that I don't smell bad or anything like that, while I know that others just do need to shower more often. Ok, there's my confession.

Oh, one more. I sleep with my bra on too. It does seem to offer some small amount of protection. Sports bras are really good for sleeping in - no hooks.
