For women, how often do you shower or bathe

This question is for women. How often do you shower. My husband was arguing with me that all women should shower every 12 hours or so. Where he comes from it is common for women as a sign of cleanliness to shower twice daily. I usually shower only once daily but maybe twice if working out.

I love a long hot shower. But I definitely don’t shower twice everyday. That’s gonna dry my skin out too. If you want to shower so much that’s fine but I wouldn’t think a person dirty for not showering that much.

For women as well as men...once is enough when the weather is warm/hot, in cooler/colder seasons one can get away with skipping a day (maybe two depending on circumstances). Actually it possible to be too clean, it can affect a person's immune system and make them more vulnerable to infections.

I shower every other day...I've been doing that awhile and come to find out, doctors recommend every other day to not strip skin...who knew?

Once a day, with a quick wash where it matters. Unless you have a bad case if BO, there's no need to shower much in a day.

I shower at night and take a quick rinse in the morning
Twice a day is way too much. Rough on the skin and hair, and unnecessary anyway. I would say shower once daily.

that is a lot of showering. not to mention really bad for your skin and hair.

I shower typically once a day...every so often I get lazy and skip a day, especially if I haven't gone anywhere or done anything strenuous.

Twice a day would be hard on the skin. Not to mention waste a lot of water.

I think some people shower so much because they feel dirty on the inside , but do not know what to do to cleanse it.

2x a day but that’s such a lame argument from your husband 😂 why only women? Do men roll in the mud?
@SW-User That’s a lot of showering.

@SW-User Hes Caribbean and his whole family is very religious but not him but generally they judge cleanliness harshly and he said that I'm the only woman that hes met that showers once daily.

Eh once a day is fine as long as you’re not doing hard work outside and all sweaty, you should be good @REMsleep

Normally once per day. If I get into dirty cleaning or gardening it may be two.

You have a controlling husband.
Usually once a day unless there is some reason for twice.

Studies have found men's workplace offices AND men's hands are home to more bacteria than women's. I suppose that could be from touching dirty women, but I kinda doubt it.

Once a day. I live in a cold climate, so there really isn't a need to shower twice daily. It's not like I'm sweating a fuck ton or anything, and I'm usually indoors.
