Most of us take a bath at least once a day. Some people take baths twice a day. But, do you use the soap and shapoo each time you enter the shower? Do you rarely use the soap and the shampoo, or periodicly. (like once in a weak)

I bathe using soap everyday. It is important to be clean and to feel clean for me. I think as well you have to think of the others around you, you dont want the to have to put up with any unclean odours! I do wet my hair and put a conditioning treatment in it daily but only shampoo it once a week as it dries my long hair out otherwise. I have knowns a few friends who have had body odour problems that I have actually spoken to about it with them being sensitive to their feelings. I found out that they had only been rinsing themselves in the shower and only using soap once a week. They had no idea that they had a bad odour and from now on wash with soap everyday and have no smelly problems. Now I am much happier to have them come and visit my house, they don't leave a lingering smell afterwards! Showering with soap is important for medical reasons too, bacteria on your skin causes the odour and can lead to infections.

lol, but true. You knever know what you are stiky since that is your own body and you get used to it. So its important to prevet it rather to have a friend come by and tell you "you stinck". Regarthless their humild intentions i guess it always hurts.

Yes it is a touchy subject and you have to be as gentle as you can but I hope that if there was a body odour issue with me that someone would take me aside and tell me quietly rather than making everyone put up with it and say nothing out of politeness. Do unto others as you would yourself.

Sometimes, it is hard to speak up. my fiance's smells so bad it makes everyone sick . Even if we do tell him he wont listen . I think it is to the point that no soap or shampoo would help him.

I use soap and shampoo everyday, it would not be a bath without them. Living in the tropics means extra effort to keep clean, humidity does wierd things to the bacteria on the skin surface and infections are hard to heal so prevention is better than cure.

I always use soap or shower gel whenever I get into the bathe or take a shower. I take a complete bath, that is, shampoo and condition my hair in the morning and take a shower before I go to sleep.It wouldn't be a shower or bathe if without soap or a a bath gel. I shampoo and condition my hair every other day less I have been outdoors in which case I use shampoo and use conditioner everyday as I hate to have smelly hair.

I use shower gel most of the time. A good beauty soap once or twice a week. Shaving, conditioning, loofa, body lotion all keep the body and hair looking and feeling good. Choose a fragrance you like and go for it. If your body and hair are taken care of then you will feel more confidence. When you get older you will be glad you took care of yourself when you were younger.

Well iprefer to use the shampoo and soap periodically because these soaps and shampoos are not good for the skin if used regularly with a bath

I usually take shower at least twice a day because the weather here is rather hot most of the time. I couldn’t stand the sticky sweat and the nasty odor on my body after perspiration. So every time having cold shower I would never miss using soap and shampoo. I always feel relaxed and I favor the freshly smell left by my favorite soap and shampoo as well.

Yes, each time I will shower I will use both . You just dont feel clean without them . I never heard of people who just rinse off, but from seeing post , I see that it is true. I will however wash my hair every day , uless I am going some where important.
