I prefer a bath so it is about 10 years since I showered.

@sally1981 Sounds lovely
bhatjc · 46-50, M
A week, but I was back packing in the mountains
Byron8by7 · M
@bhatjc I had a similar experience ...
bhatjc · 46-50, M
@Byron8by7 Not much time to hit a shower
I don’t need a reason to shower…I sometimes shower twice a day.

The only time I’ve had a sponge bath and not showered for more than a day was when I was hospitalized.
long time and anyone can when they know how to wash up without getting in a shower.

21 days doing field work in Mongolia during the winter.

Probably about a month or so during intersession in 1985–86. I was staying with my parents, who only had a bath, not a shower.

The longest I've gone without a shower or bath is probably 9 days, when I was on bivouac with my National Guard unit. I don't remember if that was '84 or '85.

I don't really remember.....one I got accident any whole face got messed up whole skin was peeled off ...may be that time I was on bed rest and not had shower....
I think I went for 2 days once.
I was alone and didn't have anywhere to go.

Two or three weeks , depression , terrible sleeping patterns, prostrating so putting things off until last minuet or planning then forgetting to do them , bad anxiety as I feel closed in there as the shower has glass doors that close and hard to get open and the water doesn’t get hot enough. I used to stop breathing as soon as the cold water hit me when I first moved in and used the shower I’m only just getting over that.

@SW-User I've been there. I would dread the thought of showering and it felt like too much of an effort.
Once when I went camping for about a week. I was miserable, too. I used a washcloth in campsite bathrooms, but it wasn’t the same. I think I showered for about an hour when I got home.

Ten days while backpacking along the Mexican border. I was lucky to have enough water to drink, but nothing for showers.
NiftyWhite · 46-50, F

SW-User
A week I think. I was going through some serious emotional problems at the time and didn't care to do anything.

Three weeks because I couldn't change my clothes as my arm was in a sling and it was suggested not to take them out which doesn't make sense because hygeine is important.
Isthisit · F
@MasterofNone that's a long time to go without showering!😮
MasterofNone · 26-30, M
@Isthisit yeah. It was such a relief when I did shower finally.
Isthisit · F
@MasterofNone bet it was!

At most a couple of days but that would be because of something wrong. I hate to be unclean.
About three days at a festival.. it was pretty vile tbh. I'm usually a 2 a day kinda guy!
