I have been used to take a bath everyday before going to work, even on those days that I don't have to go to work I never mises to bath for i don't feel comfortable if I don't. In a tropical country like like us, that it tend to be so hot at times it so sticky and stinky not to bath everyday though I know people whom doesn't take a bath on a daily basis. How about you, do you take a bath daily or you don't? please share.

I take a bath everyday. During summer, I do it at least twice a day. Aside from maintaining hygiene, it gives me a relaxing feeling and makes me more active throughout the day.

I dont always take one at the same time each day sometimes its right when I get up sometimes Ill wait and take it at night so I have time to relax when Im taking it. But I cant stand going without one. In fact Im actually getting ready to take a nice hot relaxing bath in a lil bit here.

Its winter here at the moment, but I don't care whether its winter or summer, I do take a bath or shower everyday, because like you, I don't feel comfortable if I don't. I wash my hair every other day, but I never skip to have bath.

Hi, I am also used to take a bath everyday before going to work and if it is summer then more than once a day. It makes one feel really fresh. If you take a bath before going to sleep you tend to get a good and sound sleep. I dont know why it is so but it happens to me. Having a bath also helps us in getting rid of the sweaty body odour that we have. Larry

Yep, I have noticed that too that when I get a bath before bed usually i get a goodnight sleep. It could be that we feel refreshed when we had a bath and it is more cooler and the feeling of cleanliness is within when we bath before sleep. Now that remind me that I should be taking a bath soon for a good night sleep since I haven't slept well last night. Thanks.

LOL, so that was the reason why you had to bath at night. you wife doesn't want to sleep with a stinky husband. . I guess all husbands will take a bath before going to bed just to sleep with their wives. LOL. thanks for sharing and have a great day!!!

It looks like I'm alone here, but I do not shower daily. First of all, I'm pretty inactive, don't sweat much at all and I honestly don't see the need in bathing daily. As a matter of fact I think Americans put way too much imphasis on personal hygene. If I go ut in public, of course I shower, but I'm a stay at home mom who works from home, so I'm not usually around anyone I need to impress. Now if I were a single girl and never knew when I might have a romantic liason, then I can see the need for super good personal hygene. But the way my life is now, it's just not a top priority. Also, because I don't wash my hair daily and remove all the natural oils, my hair is very healthy, shiny and strong.

I dont wash my hair every day either cause I was told in beauty school its better to wash it every couple of days. But as for the bath parts I do that everyday I just put my hair up in a ponytail so it doesnt get wet on the days Im not washing it.

Yipes ! The thought of starting a day without a bath is awful. I must take a bath, no matter how hot or cold it is and change my underwear and clothes everyday. It gives a clean feeling and then of course applying a deo to keep the body smelling good the whole day through.

I would agree with you that not having a bath as you share your day is awful indeed. It really feels different if you know you fell clean after a bath and a change of underwear and you don't feel conscious especially if you are in a public place that you may smell stink. LOL. thanks for sharing and have a great day. Happy Mylotting!!!!

hello my friend, I agree with you. We smell stinky in our place there if we will not take shower everyday because of the sweat and the dust around us. Smells terrible whe we don't take a bath at least everyday. There are some people who take a bath twice a day. But here in US? I don't have it daily specially during winter because I feel very cold even if the water is hot. hahahaha.. It's nice when you are under the shower because the water is warm much more if you are in the tub.. but when you come out? whew!! you feel like freezing!!! But there's no problem of stink here because there's no dust and sweat like what we have there. And much more if you are just staying inside the house? you are fresh all the time.. hahaha

lol kenchiprincess what a question!!! Ofcourse I do bath everyday and every morning. Without bathing you don't feel active and are lazy and just slog and feel sleepy the whole day. Instead when we bath we do feel active and are enthuthiastic to do things! So everyone should have a bath daily. Hope that got your simple question answered. :)

Actually the question just pop into my mind since it is cold lately and at times like these I feel like not taking a bath and feels like bumming but of course there is work and a lot of things that I should be working on. I agree with you that you feel more active and on the go if you took a bath to start the day not only that it makes you refresh but at the same time clean. thanks for sharing.

I do take a bath everyday, even if it's cold nowadays. I can't bear not to take a bath even for 1 day. And aside from that I have to be a role model for my kids... :)

That is true, kids would try to win you out at times not to take a bath every morning especially during cold weather if they can have their way. Being a role model to your children instill in their young minds what should be done and how to do things the proper way. Thanks so much for your share and have a great day. Happy Mylotting my friend.

I take a bath daily, sometimes twice. The mere thought of not taking a shower for a day is....unthinkable. Bathing daily though is not possible for everyone since some might be in countries where water is hard to get or just much more expensive to get but the point is so long as you keep yourself clean, that's alright, even if it doesn't involve bathing. Have a good one.

Thanks for sharing. That is true most people tend not to take a bath daily because of the lack of source of water in the area where they live in. what is important is that we clean our body and promote good hygiene. Have a great and wonderful day and happy mylotting my friend. Nice sharing here.

Hello kenchi, I can't go without taking a bath everyday, and take my shower at night before sleeping, During Summer, Ahh, I would take a bath twice a day. I just love bathing you know, aside from having the fresh feeling after doing it,water has a healing power, it is a marvelous medium for pepping up lazy circulation when applied to feet, face, or entire body, better circulation means better blood supply, haha . I love bathing that I have names for every bath of different ways I do...hehe

i am used to taking a bath daily,including my hair.some of my friends donot wash hair daily,maybe once or twice a week.i think it depppends upon the habit inculcated from childhood.
• Philippines
29 Jan 09
that is true, once a habit of hygiene has been inculcated since childhood that would be what you will be doing as you become adults and shared with your kids. I can't even imagine going to work without taking a bath the feeling is so different i have tried it when i had a fever bu7t i got to report to work I just wash my body but not a full bath i feel hot and stinky. thanks for sharing.

I am from the Philippines too and during summertime I can't help but take a bath 2 times a day just to get rid of the sweat from my body and at times the smell really stinks even if you take bath. I know what you mean my friend. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!! Happy mylotting and hope to hear from you again from here. Thanks a lot.

Yes I take a bath everyday...(^_^) It makes me feel really refreshed, active and smells good. Even if early in the morning the water is cold, I'll make a way not to ruin my bath, I put on a warm water. I don't like to stink and everything gets itchy if I don't take a bath. nice question hehe

Thanks for bringing up the itchy feeling when you have not taken a bath. I remember when I was small till now when I can't take bath or shower before going to bed I can't sleep for I feel itchy all over my body. I just keep on scratching it until the morning. So I can't fail taking a shower before i go to bed or else I will deprive myself of sleep. Happy Mylotting!!

I take a shower once every other day or once every day if I have the time. It's not as humid here, cuz I don't live in a tropical country. I take an actual bath maybe once a week though.
