I've heard many stories that in other countries, people don't bath everyday. If that was me, I would feel irritated all day because I'm used to cleaning and having a bath everyday even if we have a cold weather.
I'm just wondering if there are some people here who doesn't bath everyday, maybe because of the climate and temperature in their place.

Every day, while I am working. On days off, I usually do shower, but on occaision I will 'skip' a day. I like to "stew in my own oils" if you will. haha ;)
The longest I have gone without showering has been 72 hours. Oh, boy, was I raunchy! I prefer cleanliness, but those three days, showering was not an option.
I also have heard that in other countries that bathing is not done each day. Maybe for various reasons that they don't. Undoubtedly, the importance is not there.

Not really....I live in Arizona, in the southwest desert, where the high temps June through September are above 100 degrees F. I am grateful for air-conditioning!!!

Being in a tropical country, it is a must that one must bath at least twice a day. the heat makes us sweat so much that without taking regular shower will create a bad body odor and very sticky around. No amount of cologne or perfume will conceal a stinky body sweat.

I usually shower once a day (7) unless I do sport or swim, and then you will often have a second shower in the day.
In Australia many areas have water shortages and they try and keep their showers down to 4 minutes (I have trouble washing and conditioning my hair in this time). Sometimes I will have a bath with aromatherapy oils and aromatherapy candles for a special occasion.

7 times a week and sometimes more. I take a bath everyday, I feel so dirty if I dont take a bath. Even thinking about it makes me feel very dirty. And I sweat a lot especially when it is really hot.

yah, that's it. It makes someone feel dirty.
One of my friends spent two nights here in Manila and it's really hot then so after breakfast, he took a bath. When we reached home at about 1pm he took a bath again. Then at 6, before we leave for a gimmick, he took a bath again and when we arrived homw, a bath again..lolx

I take a shower at least four time a week. We have to conserve water around my place.

hi kharen,
yes, i think you are right. the need to take a bath is different for the people in different countries and zone. for people who live in the sub tropical zone, maybe they don't need to daily take a bath in the winter.
as i live in tropical country. i take a bath twice a day. because in such a hot climate, my body is getting dirtier fast . i had a friend from abroad (canada) who used to take a bath 3 or 4 times a days in dry season in my country.

I bath atleast 14 times a month that means two times a day. I did the first at morning and the second before sleeping. In night I usually get very much tired. Only one bath and a cup of tea refresh me within seconds. Its good. Happy day!

I usually have problem differentiating bath and shower.To us (Filipinos) bath and shower are the same.For others shower is just body wash.In some country bath is when you do bubble bath,soaking yourself in bath tuband shower is washing the whole body using the shower . With regards to your question...yes as everybody does.During summer it's twice a day-one before sleeping so i feel fresh and it makes me sleep soundly.During winter once,then just lukewarm body wash before going to bed.

Of course twice a day everyday. I just can't let myself be all sweaty form the hot weather here. Even if it is cold I think my body really always want to take a bath.

Hi there kharen!
I take a bath everyday. When I am somewhere where it's humid, I take a bath at least twice a day to keep refreshed. I can't last a day comfortably if I do not take a bath. Even when I am sick, I make sure I take a bath.

I bathe everyday. And sometimes I will bathe twice. Those are usually the days that I am hot and sweaty or if I get dirty. So hence twice a day. I couldn't stand going one day without having a bath or a shower. I find it really nasty if people don't bathe everyday specially in the summer time when it is all hot and yucky out. That is just gross.

I would say 14 times. I always take a bath in the morning before i go to work then at night before i go to bed. Maybe in other countries they don't bathe as often because of their climate. But here in my country is kind of hot almost often and it is one way of refreshing and rejuvinating one's tired body.

*shudders* I can't imagine not taking a bath everyday. Just the thought of it makes me feel dirty and itchy all over.
