I live on a farm in the subtropics. I take at least one shower a day.

I have to every day no matter the season or I wouldn't feel right. I take one right before bed - it really helps me sleep to feel fresh before curling up before bed. Weird I know.

At least three times a day. I run so I get funky and gross. Plus I shower just before bed as it helps me sleep.

Once a day if it’s a normal day. Sometimes two if it’s hot or something. On a rare occasion I might skip a day if am sick or something.

Even if don’t feel like showering sometimes, I can’t go unwashed to work or be around other people. They won’t appreciate it lol

Lately it’s been everyday just because it makes me feel better mentally. A lot of times though it’s every other day. It’s hard to motivate myself to actually get in the shower but once I’ve showered I always feel so much better

It depends, sometimes I can go without showering 1/2 weeks during holidays, even more sometimes
When I work I shower at least once every 2/3 days, but I try to force myself to shower the day before work

Same @Blue_Bird
I need motivation to shower but once I did I feel better, relaxed
Thanks for this!

Daily, never miss a beat. The warm/hot water helps my aches and helps me unwind mentally too. Part of my evening ritual.

On days my building suddenly loses hot water, I'm freaking out. Gross.....I live in a mostly hot climate with sooty air, so I just feel I have to get that grime off, daily. A few times I've gone to the gym to shower because they were taking too long to fix it in my building.

I've always taken it in the evening, after dinner, going back to childhood. I don't see how people take them in the morning only, that's going to bed with all that dirt or sweat on you.

Daily 1-3x a day depending on sweat, sunscreen (how horribly I plan the day), or TIPP skill use.
