I'm bored at the moment and I'm just about to go to bed so I was wondering what is the longest anyones gone without a shower. I'll check the results at school tomorrow. And please people I don't want any smartasses coming in here and going "who cares" or something similar.

Uh, how long ago are we supposed to think back? I mean, I used to go for a week at a time without a bath or shower when I was 8, but it's been a while since I was 8.

Once every two months, whether I need it or not. :P Seriously, it was a week for me, due to a camping expedition into the boundary waters in Minnesota. Normally, I average a little over one shower a day, sometimes taking two on account of afternoon workouts, and sometime skipping on Saturday or Sunday if I'm not planning on being presentable.

I've never been in a situation where I couldn't get a shower for over a week. This year, I don't think five days have passed without me showering, and I usually try to do so every other day. By the third day without show, I feel uncomfortable, and by the fourth, I can't bear my own stench (besides my skin starts to itch). But yes, there were times when I went for weeks without showering, long ago... -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Three weeks, and this is recent. I'm recovering from foot surgery, and the first cast I had on couldn't afford to get wet at all, and I didn't feel like risking it. Now that I'm on the 6th week and in a new cast, I can use a rubber sealing sock on my leg to shower with. Since I wasn't too active over the last three weeks, I didn't smell too bad...I think. Anti-perspirant works well. -------------------- Wu wei... it's the only way Posts: 154 | Registered: Monday, June 20 2005 07:00 |

quote:? Recently, I suppose the longest I've gone was five days - I was on an island in the middle of a lake on a week long camping trip. I did take a bath (with environment-friendly soap) in the lake during those days, though, and on the fifth day we had to go to shore to get water and such and I took a shower then. I'm somewhat obsessive when it comes to showering, to be honest. I probably average over one per day as well. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon Polaris = joy.

I wonder if an obsession with bathing is still considered an American trait, or if it's spread a bit further around the world? I think the most showers I've ever taken in a day was four, though at the time, I was trying to treat some pretty vicious poison ivy. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

... If you want to get technical... I haven't had a shower for... almost two years. Some day we'll have that plumber come in and install one.

I generally take a single shower a day, although I have been known to skip a day on the weekends from time to time. I can't remember the last time I skipped more than a day, as I simply can't stand the sensation of being filthy. I'm not quite as obsessive about showering as I am about hand washing, though; I wash my hands 25 times a day or so, on average. I hardly ever get sick, though, so perhaps it's a healthy addiction. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion.

Camping trip that lasted 4 weeks thru northern ontario. I've noticed a lot of camping activities in this crowd, imagine getting aware from a computer that long!

I love long camping trips! The problem these days is finding the time off - with two weeks of vacation a year, it just can't happen. :( Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

Yeah, same here, school is more or less year-round, and many I know wouldn't want to go camping anyways. I'd really like to go again, so I'll find a way sooner or later. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

I just got a catalog from a company called O.A.R.S. (www.oars.com) which as some nice trips. Expensive, but nice. Less than 1 week up to a trip to the Yangtze lasting 19 days. Mostly rafting stuff, which I highly recommend, but other stuff as well. If you like the remote, but worry about gear, this might be the trip. I'm already thinking this is good honeymoon material. *this message sponsored by a fanatical avoidance of work* Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

I´ve never been camping.Wow, feels like I´m the only one in this page that hasn´t gone camping. To answer the question, I take around 2 showers a day (one in the morning, and one before going to bed), so the longest I´ve been without showering has been an entire day, and it was because there were pipes problems in the house, and I refuse to put clean clothes on and go to my aunt´s house and bath there. I can´t honestly go out without taking a shower, I feel dirty and it makes me think people are watching me.

I think about two weeks without shower has been the maximum for me, but that wasn't recently. Recently I was on a ten days' trip to Norway on a bus with about 35 other people. There was no shower where we were accommodated. One day some of us, not all, went with the bus to a place where we could wash. When we went back to Finland (and Sweden), the bus smelled very bad.

I feel awkwardly unfresh if I do not take a shower every morning; you see, I sweat a lot in the sleep and when I say a lot I mean as when you visit a finsh sauna (The smell I have in the morning is in other words simply gobsmacking repulsive. Yuck!). -------------------- So, as the great Groxy, I have come back to be served by goblins. In the "main hall" of the goblin cave was a large totem which resembled very much of... me.

If I shower more than once a day, my skin starts turning white and red and I spontaneously bleed out of the backs of my fingers and occasionally from my face. If I shower less than once a day, I feel like a dirty old man in more ways than one. If I wait long enough, I can become a literal "viejo verde" and I'm not sure all of the mold is non-toxic. This places me squarely in the once per day like clockwork category. —Alorael, who has gone a few days without bathing on some trips. It tends not to be fun, and his skin starts turning colors and bleeding. He really didn't get lucky in the skin department. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

You either shower in too hot water or got very fragile and dry skin. The bleeding effects sounds like naré, an ailment caused by dry skin and friction. Try using skin lotions and oils to prevent this, even if you do not got dry skin nor naré it will still give you soft and damp skin which of course is nice to have if you for instance want to caress a woman.
