You guys seriously need to bathe at least once a day

If I don't shower every day, I stink--point blank.

It really depends on the person.

This thread is making me laugh Seriously? People dictating how often other people should bathe and brush their teeth?? That's hilarious

For the record: unless it's really hot and I'm sweating like mad, I will NOT shower more often than every other day, because it would needlessly irritate my very dry skin. I wipe down the potentially smelly areas (armpits, crotch, butt...) on the days I don't wash, and I use the same reasonable amounts of deodorant and perfume as I do on showering days, and none of you washing-rule-givers would ever guess I didn't shower that morning.

Same for my teeth: I only brush once a day because even that little can make my gums bleed. Twice a day would be a disaster. I'll gurgle some mouthwash after I eat if I'm at home, or I'll take a mint if I'm not, and nobody's ever fainted from smelling my horribly disgusting breath

More generally: everyone's biology is different. Just like some people poop every day at the same time without failing while some others only poop twice a week, there are people who can go days without showering and still not stink, while some other unfortunate souls can't even last a day without reeking of body odour. Loads of things influence how much we each sweat and how fast our sweat will start stinking, from hormones to what food we eat to what clothes we wear and so on. So arguing that there can be a one-size-fits-all rule about how often people should shower is ridiculous
