Don't be shy.......we all have been through a very lazy weekend....or a very long vacation...no plans, nothing going on, too tired to get up, then suddenly you realize one thing..."ooops, I have not taken a bath for days now".... I did ask my friends about it and I learned they're worse than me, I had one friend who lasted one whole week without taking a shower! Well, he was so embarrassed about it, and have no plans whatsoever of doing it again. We had a good laugh! But hey, let's be for real... we do get too tired to jump in the shower sometimes, eh?

The longest I have gone without showering at my own accord was 36 hours. As lazy as I am, I can no longer stand that "furry feeling" LOL however much I love furry animals LOL!!! I think I have gone longer while I was in the hospital. Maybe three days, but then I couldn't really help it as I couldn't get up from the bed. While were were travelling, I think I also went without a shower for 36 hours.

It was almost a year ago, I was flying to United STates, a long flight, 16 hours + another 5 hours, by the time when I got home, it was over midnight and I Was super super tired, I couldn't stand and went straight to the bed and skipped the shower so it was almost almost two days that I have not had a bath.

I usually take a bath everyday. But when I don't take a bath it is either come home really later after the bar and I'll shower in the morning. Or when I go camping I don't shower because I'm totally afraid of the bugs in the shower at camp.
So usually when there is no shower its at a time when people don't really mind. But if I'm home I mine as well take one right. Since your already home.

I think the longest that I didn't took a bath was almost 2 weeks but I was unconscious and laying on the hospital bed thats why. When I woke up, I can't stand up right away so it took another 4 days before I can stand up again since I was laying for a while on bed. In my normal life, I take a bath daily 1-2 times a day. If its raining, I don't take a bath for a day but I make it sure to shower the next day as I don't want to be stinky at all.

Hi there!
I always take a bath. If I miss taking a bath that would be just for one day. But from 1996 to 2004, I experience not taking a bath for about 3 days and that's every Holy Week when we go hiking to the Holy mountain, Mount Banahaw.
Up in the mountains we have no water to take a bath. The water we carry are just for drinking and cooking. There's a waterfall but it is too crowded to be taking a bath. Besides, we will get dirty for 2-3 days until we reach the peak of the mountain so it's useless to take a bath.
Ciao!

Yup! Sometimes I just feel lazy to take a shower, specially in holiday time like this! I just brush my teeth and wash my face. but I feel itchy and I don't like the smell if I miss shower 1 day, so in holiday the longest period is only 1 day. My mom and brother will say I smell like armpit, then after that I take a bath immediately..hehehe... uuh, it's so embarrassing! But the longest period in my life is about 5 days. It's because I was sick in the hospital for 5 days. I'm being unconscious most of time then I didn't smelly or feel itchy

There have been times when I am just soo lazy to get into the shower. When this hits me I just skip it. So, it will be a day or two when I next take bath. Else, If I have to go out, I will shower in the evening.

I bathe daily and could never go a whole day without a shower. Infact its not unsual for me to take two showers one in the morning which helps we wake up and prepare for the day infront of me and one in the evening after my run. Although in saying this I haven't had a bath in weeks as I prefer showers as nice as baths are when its time to get out I feel cold and a bit drowsy whereas I feel invigorated after a shower.

When I was with serious illness, I have never taken a bath for 10 days. But sometimes laziness too makes me sit.
Sometimes Mylot also makes me to stick here not letting me go to take bath esp in weekends.
I have been 3 days without bath due to my 
laziness...
Cheers...

Well, i do shower all the time except if i am sick with a cold or the flu, i find that if i take a shower or a bath, i get twice as sick. I dont know what it is about me, but a shower is a one way ticket to a fever elevation for me. Strange.
Of course, there comes the time when you just have to shower, and i do and take my chances... I wonder if this happens to anyone else?
