How long have you...

...not washed for? This may sound flippant, but I'd genuinely like to know. Last year I didn't wash my hair (I have very long hair) for about 5 months, and I currently haven't washed for over a week (I probably will later, though). From when I was about 8 there was a house which I lived in for about two years and as soon as I left I thought, "I don't remember washing there once".

The longest I've ever gone without washing was when I had chicken pox at the age of 11. I went a week without washing because the warm water felt like hundreds of tiny needles were pricking my skin.

The longest I've gone without washing under normal circumstances is about 3 or 4 days.

30 hours. Somewhere around hour 28 I start to lose it.

Oh God. I can't go more than two days without washing (that's my record.) I wash every morning, and sometimes at night. I hate the feeling that I get when my hair is greasy and my entire body is greasy...

I love showers.

Five days.

I really can't say. I was neglected as a child, and my mom didn't often bathe us.

As an adult... a week. I hated every second of it.

I would of thought we could be the rock musicians at least, some of them can last around two weeks (some probably more)...

I think it was about five days.

I really start to feel gross once I exceed 48 hours, and usually I am pretty good about maintaining a regular schedule. In this one case, the bathroom I usually used for showers was under repairs and I was supposed to use a different bathroom, which took 3-4 days before my need for a shower overrode whatever it was that kept me from using a different bathroom.

Since becoming aware and being responsible for myself, three days if you mean hair washing.

Otherwise no more than one day.

2 days is the maximum I can ever go without bathing.

I'm really disappointed.

I have to be clean so I shower at least once a day, sometimes more. Usually it's only if I've been sick that I don't shower and I have to be very ill not to get cleaned up. I don't like dirty smelly people, especially if I am one. I don't like clothes to get smelly.

I'll even drink chlorophyll to clean out the body. It works as internal deodorant.

No, I'm thinking of anomalies. I hear all this talk of "I smell terrible", "I haven't washed in ages", "you must remember to wash", I'm thinking that someone here must have, at some point, I'm really not trying to offend, gone without washing for about a month or three or something. I would be impressed.

(sorry for sounding so ridiculous)

I don't talk about my teen years.

No self-help skill delays...right.

... Okay, I never went months. It was still days.
