It's pretty common among women (my sister notably) who will just go nuts for not taking a shower, say, within 10 hours of the previous shower. So she'll have to take a shower at night, around 9. Then when the morning arrives she feels she must get in the shower. Why? Are you going to get that dirty just by sleeping in bed overnight? Sheesh. Shower freaks, I'm tellin' ya. ;)

Does anyone else know anyone else like this?

Maybe they're germaphobes. I don't mind not showering at least for a few days although I do everyday.

Yes, actually, you will get dirty while sleeping. Do you know just how much you sweat while your sleeping? A LOT, not to mention, most of our beds arent very clean.

I make an effort to take at LEAST one shower every day before i go to sleep, and i try to take one every morning as well. Not easy to get a girlfriend if you stink, lol.

And btw there is already another thread like this.

Interesting stuff I never knew. But I think it's different for her. I think she doesn't know this and honestly thinks she'll get dirty from anything. She's in her last year of college know and she's still like this when she drives home for the weekend or break. She ALWAYS has to take atleast 2 showers a day and is serious about it.

Well, if I don't shower at least once a day, I feel dirty. Plus, a shower is refreshing.

Because they didn't have running water...so it was much harder. They used to share the bath water...would you want to take a bath in water that your parents and older siblings had already bathed in?

Because some people like to feel clean and be clean. You also sweat when you sleep.I usually shower right before going to bed though, if I have something important going on in the morning though I will shower when I wake up as well.

You'd be surprised....most people DO NOT, in fact, smell themselves....it's others that do.Individuals get immune to their stench after a time.

I might get flamed for this, but I NEVER take a shower regularly every day.

I just don't get that dirty, or sweaty, and I don't think it's necessary. I wear deodorant every day, and I keep myself pretty clean, but it's been over 5 years since I've taken a daily shower.

To the TC: I do know some people like your sister, though, who insist on taking showers multiple times a day. It seems wasteful and excessive to me, but it's their cleanliness and well being to consider, not mine. The same person also has a weird thing about naked feet, though. In fact, he's kind of a weird guy in general...

They have a condition that causes them to melt if they don't shower regularly. It's quite tragic.

Just personal preference and attention to hygiene, I guess. I'm the kind of person who can't start the day without a shower, and I always have to take a shower before bedtime if I've worked outside for my job or spent the evening working in the garden. I just don't like to feel dirty.

Shes gotta keep the honey pot clean and bug free.

I shower once daily usually at night. I didn't last night though due to drunkenness so I will take one this morning and then again later tonight to get back on track.

There's a guy in my school who is pretty poor and he stinks...ridiculously bad - he smells badly of sweat and sort of damp, yet there is a guy i know who can sit next to him unbothered, he must have really bad smelling sense and not actually know because when I say " :? How can you not smell him" he just says he can't smell anything... weird. The boy himself must have sort of became immune to his own smell because I don't think it's possible to smell that bad and actually know you smell that bad without doing something about it. Maybe he gets a shower once a week and his dad doesn't wash his clothes, the least he could do is buy some deodarant.

I understand you guys take a daily shower and blah blah blah, but what I was stating in the whole discussion was that some people just can't go a tiny amount of time without taking a shower because they feel they've become dirty as hell inbetween. Even through experience I've gone days without showers and family members told me I smelt normal when I asked (yes I asked lol). I think sitting in one spot watching tv and playing games most of the time doesn't get me that dirty.

Unless you're really dirty, it doesn't matter, and if it does you don't belong together.
