How often do you guys shower and brush your teeth?? I'm living with a roommate and I'll be darn if i never see this boy take a bath...maybe once since he's been here...that's about 2 weeks!! He might take them when I'm out, but still...i try to take a bath/shower at least every other day...just wondering how the GAF handles their personal washing...

I dunno man, if I miss a day, which sometimes does happen, I feel pretty gross. :/ Everyday or bust, and I wash my hands before each meal and after I get home before I play/touch my computer. Guess I'm more of an exception though since construction isn't exactly the cleanest industry out there.

AT LEAST!!!!!!! :lol I would say i shower every day about 94% of the year, there are times that shit happens time wise that prevents you from having enough time...or other things, emergencies etc. I doubt people on here would admit to anything less than 6 times a day :lol why did i even bother :lol I just Owned myself, and it was good...

For basic clean city life showering more than every two days does more harm than good and is really just a waste of time and water. However, if you're getting yourself extremely dirty/sweaty every day than of course, shower more. Doesn't work that way for brushing though! :(

Personally: every couple days for showering and after most meals and before bed for brushing.

if I've got school, I showed every day.

If I don't, I let it slide like a motherfucker. I showered on thursday and sunday over thanksgiving break.

I shower about 2-3 times a day. But KB Toys has been keeping me pretty busy. Last week I was lucky to get 1 shower in over two days.

I have to shower twice a day or I can't stay awake. Morning wakes me up for work and Evening wakes me back up for play.

Twice a day on weekdays. Once in the morning before work and once at night before bed. I sleep better that way and operate better that way.

On weekends, I generally don't wash at all.

:lol

That's always been my schedule, at least for the past four years. I would shower before school, as soon as I get home, and before I went to bed.

And I pretty much have to shower if I take a messy dump, toilet paper is never enough to make me feel clean. Maybe that's why I hate public restrooms, I can't take a shower when I'm downtown...

Now the length of my showers might be a problem. Usually around 30-45 minutes. I just find the shower very relaxing. The warm water falling down my body, just washing away my troubles. I WUV SHOWERS!

I shower once/twice everyday. May let it slide once in vacation periods (and nothing to do except for watching tv or something) Brush my teeth once a day, in the morning.



I used to live in the Caribbean where I'd shower 3 times a day, or take a dip in the pool instead of showering. Sweat & clothes = no fun

I brush in the AM and before bed..after dinner seems to early unless you go right to sleep...then again I'm sure the real answer would be brush after every meal, in the am and before bed....it's like buffing.

Once a week.
If you shower too frequently, you'll strip all of your natural pheromones and die an obsessive compulsive virgin.

You people are crazy. I wonder how much healthier everyone would be and how much fresh water we would save if people weren't so obsessive.

If you shower once a week, girls won't come near you for completely different reasons.

(Once a day for me, thanks. Brush my teeth at least twice a day.)

Every two to three days...maybe it's a living in Canada thing, but I don't really sweat or anything. If I do spend a day being incredibly active, I'll shower more often, but the bulk of my days involve a lot of studying and walking down the hill to class...and that's not exactly sweat-inducing activity. I brush once a day before I go to sleep...usually shower after midnight, so as to not run into anyone within the 8 foot distance between my dorm room and the bathroom. Because I'm self concious like that.

Showering once or twice a day, brush my teeth 3 or 4 times a day (I drink too much soda). I can't remember the last time I didn't shower, I would feel too greasy.
 
During term time, usually 3+ times a day, thanks to various sports.

Over the holidays, usually just the once, barring a training session or a social event.

For someone purporting to be self conscience, I'd have thought you'd have given some thought to how that habit must appear to your fellow dorm dwellers.

I live in a hallway of six people, isolated from pretty well everyone else in the dorm. Doubt they'd ever notice.

At least once a day, sometimes more if I'm covered in beer/sweat/love juice. I brush my teeth in the morning and right before bed.

I brush my teeth twice a day ... maybe 3 times if I'm going out and have just been eating garlic or something.

Showering ... I don't really feel that I can do anything of value during the day if I don't shower in the morning. When I worked in a kitchen, I was showering twice a day. Once in the morning and once when I got home. Mind you, when you're working 11 to 12 hours a day in a hot, greasy kitchen, that basically feels like you've gone a week without a shower.

yea, everyday. if i miss a morning (running late, etc) i have to do it when i get home. if im going out at night, twice a day.

Once every two days is my average for showering.

But I'm not going to get on anyone's case about doing more or less than me, because the criteria definitely varies from person to person; I'm sure that if I sweated a lot and worked on a construction crew I'd definitely be pumping up my showering frequency.

Shower: once a day twice if I work out.
Teeth: after meals and morning/night.
hands: I'm almost at ocd levels.

Does he stink?

Why are you trying to watch him in the shower? He should have the same parts as you... you sicko...

But I personally shower once a day during the week and twice a day on the weekends...

I brush my fangs once, sometimes twice a day... I am bad with that... I probably have funk breath at times... my poor wife!

30-45 minute showers? good god man! a shower should not last more than 5 minutes!
if you are spending >15 minutes in the shower, it is obvious that you are doing much more than just cleaning yourself in there. there is nothing wrong with a quick jerk with your morning shower to kick start your day, but your 30-45 minute sessions 3 times is a bit excessive.

5 minutes isnt long enough to do anything in the shower.

Im barely getting used to the water temp by then...

I think I average around 10-15 minutes.

There should be laws against showers longer than like, 30 minutes. I was almost late for my lab yesterday because my roommate decided that she had to spend an hour and 15 minutes in the shower.

I shower depends on the season.

Winter: 3 times a week.

Fall/Spring: 1 a day.

Summer: 2-3 times a day.

I shower once/twice a day, depending on plans. As for teeth-brushing, as much as I can handle thanks to vanilla toothpaste. I floss every three months, when the dentist does it. I can't do it right :(

5 minutes is plenty of time if all you're doing is soap/shampoo/rinse...enough to feel refreshed and clean. obviously you'll need more time if you engage in extra-curricular shower activities.

30-45 is long, i take maybe 10-15 minutes, i never take baths...something about laying is filth defeats the purpose of washing...unless u take a shower after wards. Sometimes i shave in the shower, and no there is nothing wrong with " kickstarting " your day :)
