I remember when I was younger I used to hate taking a bath or shower so much. I thought that they were just one of my chores that I have to do each day such as cleaning my room. So it was never in my interest to take a bath and I was unaware of the smelly hygiene that I used to have/had. When I was younger, the longest that I've ever went without taking a bath or shower was for ~2 weeks! I remember it till this day. So have any of you went that long without taking a bath or shower?

I don't remember a day on which I didn't bath unless ill seriously ones in life time of 52 years. You smell too bad when you don't bath, the skin starts itching and an ugly feeling of unclean body. We have ample water to take bath in our country.

I can't say I've ever gone 2 weeks. I have gone 1 week though but I was very sick at the time and could barely get out of bed. I rarely go more than a day or two, I much prefer to be clean and smelling like a rose... or whatever cologne I happen to have at the moment... LOL

Oh, my goodness, I had to go 5 days without a real bath orshower after having surgery, and it drove me crazy! I kept asking the nurses were they sure I didn't stink and they'd just laugh at me because they knew how I was at taking showers. I was in the small town I'd grown up in and knew nearly all of them from school. Yeah, that was the worst, and I was SO happy when they stopped the morphine drip so I could get up farther than just the side of my bed to use the comode!
